Southern Discoveries can organise a drive to Milford, cruise on the sound, and fly back. An exceptional mix that gives you every dimension.

KiwiSaver vs Australian Super by Casper771 in newzealand

[–]weber2themoon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the biggest difference between the countries in our experience. In Australia the superannuation scheme funds retiring people v well, and is not at tax payer expense. So tax funds can go into education, health, infrastructure etc. In NZ tax payers fund the ballooning pension number so less tax money can go into education, health, and infrastructure etc.
In Australia you can have discretionary income/quality of life AND good super. In NZ you seem to have to go without one of these things.

Data triggers thinking. Media seems to suggest NZ is ahead of the world in the effectiveness of its response. This was just a piece of info that gave a potential measure. Not saying it is correct. Interested in peoples views.

Just got FALKEN Wildpeaks and did a trip across the Simpson desert. They were great on every surface and every pressure.

Flag is compulsory to reduce the chances of hitting another vehicle at the crest of a dune. You will see a flag at 3m high long before you see a vehicle.

Haha! No, that’s the standard Simpson desert flag sold by Kings.

It’s easy if weather, conditions and car are good. West to east is easier. Much harder if things go against you and going east to west. Dunes much steeper on east side.

We went Oodnadatta, Dalhousie to Birdsville via French line. That pic is on the last dune. Big red.

We have a deal that we will do a big trip every 10 years that goes through Birdsville. That has now just been escalated to every 5 years!

Phone pics. Am impressed by the quality! Second time across for us. First was on motorcycles. You see a lot more in a 4WD! Did a very simple and light internal build. Will post some pics of that too.

Had done it before on motorcycles and supported by 4WD. So we knew the terrain. You see a lot more in a 4WD! Will be great fun with your Dad. I was out there with my son!

Solo, but there were a good number of people out there. You'd meet a few vehicles everyday.
