Contracting in Australia

On a topical note, anyone know the price of fuel in Oz?

And do they use gallons or litres?

Around $1.50 a litre for unleaded in Adelaide when I was there in April. Diesel is more.

Not really, when I joined the site I was commuting to moscow weekly. Bit of a ball-ache, hence the moniker.

I remember Moscow Mule being sold in pubs - sort of the first alcopop.

A quick run down of aussie beers
Fosters - only brits drink it, tastes like gnats piss.
XXXX - hoons drink it
VB - drink of choice for many
Tooheys New - most popular beer in NSW
Tooheys Extra Dry - possibly the best beer in the world.
Coopers - can't find the bastard anywhere but Adelaide

The isolation of the place, the weather (too hot), lack of jobs (for myself) and the fact that it seems to be overrun with Brits which has also forced the prices of everything up.

I'll give it a bash for a while, see how it goes. With my 'African Sunset' hair colouring - i'll be taking the factor 50 with me!

I was listening to ABC Radio Sydney this morning and it varies between AUD1.38 & 1.70 per litre at the moment. Not sure about WA.

Bloody good spot Lucy, and only £1.15 a bottle - you can have a virtual smacker for that one

No problem MM, is that a good price? I don't drink it, I just like that site because they sometimes sell a breakfast cereal I like...

I had a Coopers last night! ahhhhh!

I have now read through this thread and a couple of others on the subject of Oz and I am not sure how well does this apply to my situation.

I am pondering working directly for an Oz based Plc and just invoice them from my UK Ltd.

Anything wrong with that approach given that the work will be mostly done in UK and i will be based in UK for 90% of the time?
