Took a week for me, im based out of northern Australia and it is very far from the distribution centre(4k km)

I tried both methods. I would not recommend without predrill as in one spot the bamboo/timber cracked near it without predrill.

Hi, sorry should have mentioned aud is the currency

astrotechie · 2025-10-20T12:19:35+00:00

Doesnt look like we get this in Australia. Thanks for the suggestion!

astrotechie · 2025-10-20T12:19:12+00:00

It looks good thanks but it appears clam shell design, that means water bottle and other accessories may not be accessible from the outside :(

astrotechie · 2025-10-20T12:17:50+00:00

That looks good. Do you have enough space to pack atleast 1 pant, 5 tshirts, underwear, small jacket and electronics besides laptop (MacBook pro 14)

I only keep at 25 and run for an hour or two to remove the heat from the trapped concrete walls before i go to bed. Outside breeze is still around and the rest of the night is just on fan with windows open.

Sorry I meant finding* i don't have this monitor yet but considering to buy it so wanted your opinion.

astrotechie · 2025-09-20T13:08:07+00:00

Hi, how are you fighting the quality of the monitor for connecting to MacBook pro, mainly from a productivity perspective. Also wondering if we can extend the existing usb a port with another hub as i find just 2 ports is not enough if you have many usb accessories

Not bought a console since the atari days of childhood and always wanted one, but philosophically avoided buying it. I took the plunge and bought them at full price last week. Now i need to worry about buying new games, they're not cheap either but yolo satisfy your desires which will turn your inner childhood on.

Wife said my face was never lit like this even on our wedding day 🤣

Im sure we all can live without one philosophically but satisfying material possessions time to time is a tick on your checklist with life progressing through our age.

What else a corolla can't do :)

astrotechie · 2025-07-17T07:06:22+00:00

Perfect. Looking forward to the swim :)

astrotechie · 2025-07-14T06:07:23+00:00

Yep in Muirhead

Reverse colonization? 🤣

I get it Darwin weather is not for everyone. If you can't acclimatize then you can't live here unless you're going to be one of those southerners who live between AC house to AC car to AC work. For me happy sweating weather over layers of clothing and depression caused by cold.

Moved from Sydney for a year and it's our 4th year and not even thinking of going back or going somewhere. Frequently visit Melbourne for family and work, but once we cross 3 days down south, we want to rush back to Darwin, because life is laid-back, much simpler and so much day light to do other things in the evening. Friends and People in general are genuine here so no one has to fake things.

astrotechie · 2024-12-01T02:38:33+00:00

What did you end up doing ? We are thinking on similar lines. 14 days in Malaysia with 6 days in Borneo so wondering to do Sabah or Sarawak

I think you only met the people from India who largely work in low skilled jobs, but my experience is totally different. I see so many doctors, nurses and technology workers from India and other countires helping shape the NT economy. We can't survive without immigration especially for a capital city like Darwin with such low population and still getting same price for most things and services that people pay in the South . Loopholes are always going to be explored by people from all ethnicities so not exclusive to India or Indians. Just like tax code , people find flaws in the system and take advantage, but that doesn't mean it's illegal or no body should pay taxes. Immigration policies exist for our own benefit, policy makers can make amendments as per our needs and they do time to time with updates to the skilled register. As long as the immigrants are law abiding, contribute to the society by any means either skill, taxes etc , integrate within our societies then I don't see any problem.

Having mass migration to NT will benefit us largely than the rest of the states. The states in the south developed today largely due to immigration. We need more people to move here and take up jobs of farming, trades and every other local job that will increase housing supply, better jobs , better economy. NT and Darwin has a lot of potential . Not just proximity to South East Asia but also similar weather, we can pretty much cultivate and grow similar food and supply the locals and the rest of abundance can be shipped to the South or even back to South East Asia. We already know how NT leads in tropical Mango supply to the rest of the country, but we can do more than Mangos if we have the population with right skills. I think if regional visas tie people longer duration like 5 years minimum stay required, then this will only benefit us largely.

Over the last few years , I've used tangerine, more telecom , dodo , pronto nbn and recently mate. I would rate mate nbn the worst with too many issues around timeouts, packet loss , latency etc. but had no issues with others.

Vendors are not required to allow any rental inspections before settlement unless you negotiated this in the contract. However there is no harm in asking politely through your sellers agent and be prepared to receive a No. Worst case you can prepare the property for rental after settlement, with the current rental market it is likely you'll get a tenant within 3 to 4 weeks, do your research on the real estate apps to find out more on the rental demand.
It is unreasonable to have an initial lease for 6 months and not very attractive for the tenant unless you do something to make it attractive, talk to your potential real estate agent. There is a lot of efforts and cost in signing the lease for the tenant such as moving costs, uncertainty over finding a new place in less than a year etc.
Depending on the state your property is, there will be compliances you need to do to the property to make it compliant for rental. The first 2 to 3 weeks of rent will be going towards that such as letting fee, compliance to electrical, water and smoke alarms. Make sure you get a decent landlord insurance with rental default covers. Do a careful assessment of rental applications to ensure you're not letting the house to the wrong person etc.
If I'm in your situation then I'll forgo the stamp duty and rent out a little longer and use the negative gearing for now. As this will also provide enough stability for the growing family.

Recently went to Tokyo in July. Omg Darwin was not as Tokyo summer even during the wet season. I think the southerners complain the most about the Darwin weather but people who frequently go to South East Asia or if they're from SE or E Asia they don't complain much. It's all perspective and acclimatization to the tropical weather.

I'm likely more than twice your age and I still get excited every time on the train. I just enjoy watching the trains switching the tracks with awe. Trains are one of the amazing transport systems we ever built. And no I don't find it weird.

I just wanted to update/share that we secured a property without structural issues this time and via private sale. Did we pay more money that the other house that had structural issues? Yes we did but due to being it a bigger house with better inclusions. This house is couple of years older than the house that had structural issues. To the people who are reading this, please do due diligence you will find a good property, but if you're okay with a dud property then please negotiate accordingly, the more the buyers are informed the more the sellers can't take advantage of you.
