How can I make an Australian vacation at my house?
I
don't have enough time, or money to go to Australia so what are some
places I could go online that shows pictures or videos of oceans at
Australia? And what are some things I could do at my house to make it
seem more like Australia?
Thanks!

O
thats too bad! Well I could give you a link to a website we use a lot
when we travel. We posted all our Australia pictures there so take a
look.
www.yukiba.com
Things to make your house feel more like australia would include:
1 Print some of the pictures and buy frames to cheer up your house
2 You could look up some typical Australian music artists and download
there music
3 Collect some shells, it doesn't matter where they're from and put them
in little vases
4 Buy a Lonely Planet of Australia and drop it between your magazines:)
5 Buy a world map, hang it on your wall ( the one they sell at IKEA is
awesome) and pin all your little flags on Australia!
6 Take surf lessons or try other sport activities, Australiens love
sport
7 Order cute souvenir items on Ebay
8 Watch a lot of National Geographic documenteries they are often
recorden in Australia
9 Download other television programmes or Australian movies
10 Buy Australian Wine, its really good and makes you feel a little bit
on a holiday.
Hope this works!

Things to make home seem more like
Australia.
1. Have a pool party and Barbecue with beach towels, board shorts,
Aussie meat pies, sausages and prawns (we don't have shrimp here) - and
don't forget the coloured zinc cream for nose and face.
2. Keep plenty of Vegemite and Tim Tams in the pantry for every meal.
Serve Pavlova for desserts.
3. Play music from bands such as: Men at Work, Jet, Australian Crawl,
Cold Chisel, Jimmy Barnes, Olivia Newton John, John Farnham or even
AC/DC (if you really want to annoy the neighbours).
4. Hang pictures of Australian outback panoramas or use Australian art
painted by Ken Done, Aboriginals (make sure its genuine), Pro Hart. Use
poster prints by classic Australian artists such as Nolan, Whitely,
Streeton, Boyd, Drysdale, Dobell, Namitjira.
5. Display classic Australian artifacts - such as: a ceramic outback
"outhouse" or Pub (bar), didgeridoo, boomerangs, stuffed toys
(kangaroos, koalas, wombats).

Hey, it is a shame you
can't come and holiday here as Australia is such a beautiful place. It
is summer here at the moment, so the first thing you could do which we
are all doing over here at the moment is have a summer BBQ with some
sausages, steaks and burgers. (we don't do shrimp, even though somehow
that became the saying!) We have salads with that, like potato salad and
coleslaw. For dessert we follow it with cheesecake and pavlova. In
Australia we sometimes have lamington drives though the schools. They
are basically sponge cake squares with jam (jelly) in the middle and
then covered in a type of chocolate mixture and rolled in coconut. They
are absolutely delish, and many Aussies have fond memories of lammies
growing up. You can get the recipe from www.recipezaar.com for free.
Probably one of our most famous landscape photographers over here is Ken
Duncan. You can look at and order some of his prints from
www.kenduncan.com. We don't have a huge movie industry over here so most
of our homegrown movies stink. However some of the more popular ones
are The Castle and Muriels wedding. Kath and Kim (our version) and
Summer Heights High were also pretty popular over here although many
people find our humour a little hard to get! In terms of what we wear,
well I guess it is pretty laid back and summery at the moment. Most of
the girls are in short shorts and tshirts with thongs (the kind you wear
on your feet, I think you call them flip flops) Our national Australia
day is on 26th of Jan, so that might be a good day to celebrate your
Australia day. We have fireworks and parades in pretty much every town
in Australia. On this day my friends and I always have a BBQ and then go
to the beach and watch the fireworks off the pier. They have rides at
the local park and we put Aussie flag tattoos on and wear Aussie tees or
thongs. I am sure you will probably find some coming up to Australia
day. I guess you could always decorate your place with the stereotypical
kangaroos, koalas wombats etc. At the BBQ you must drink beer. It would
be un Australian not too. You must also put a stubby holder over your
beer can!! Some typical Aussie music you could play at your BBQ would be
Jimmy Barnes, Cold Chisel, Midnight Oil, Silverchair, Eskimo Joe, Inxs.
I think there is a cd you can get and it is called Aussie beer songs.
All this stuff I am sure you could get on eBay.com.au. good luck with it
all, I will be sure to edit this post if I can think of some more stuff
to add.

You may sell youre car once youre approaching the summer. If you sell your car may you have an alternate transportation during the mean time. If you were to sell your car then you could save more money because Insurance and Diesel wont be taking up a chunk. As well cut down on currect expenses for right now limit from being new clothes and eating out. If youd ecide to sell your car then at the end you will know how much money you have left to earn therefore you may either sell some old stuff in a garaga sale that you no longer need or are using. Good Luck!

not much you can do at that age. try baby sitting. there's plenty of parents looking for babysitters around their neighborhood

dont believe to stefiny and rayna,,,,,, theyre just advertisement...' dont waste ur tym viewing those sites
3 :
Depending on the laws in Australia you probably can't do more then babysitting. Here in the U.S. you can't get a real job till your 16. I would say its probably the same in Australia so you likely to only get babysitting jobs at 14.

Are there any good paid survey sites for Australians? Is it even possible to make good money?
Are there any good paid survey sites for Australians? Is it even possible to make good money?
I live in Australia and want to make some spare cash online, and paid surveys look pretty good, although they all seem to be for the US. I tried pretending to be an and American in my profile, but they might have known cause I didn't get many surveys, and some of the ones I got half way through said I was 'not elligable'... Can anyone help me out with some info on any way to make -good- cash online in Australia? Serious answers only thanks

Hi I use www.valuedopinions.com.au which is really good you are regularly sent surveys and are rewarded with vouchers. Also I use www.yourvoice.com.au, this is OK the rewards are really good although I am not sent many surveys but they are very reliable. If you use paypal and buy things online, www.ciaosurveys.com.au is OK, although getting your money can take some time. There are alot of dodgy websites out there and you should do research so you don't waste your time. Good Luck
