Hi kelly According to the website below, importers need a special permit to import sea monkeys. Not sure if they'll take them off you or not. You can actually buy sea monkeys in the shops here though. Hope this helps. http://www.aqis.gov.au/icon

The sun has been shining down on Sydneysiders, with a temperature of 22 degrees today. The summer clothing was pulled from the back of closets around the City and given a well earned airing. But will it last and should we tempt fate by packing away…

Not only will it be bought by those wishing to move down here, but by family wanting to know more about the place their children have deserted them for (including my own parents, no doubt).

Hi Angel! It's only easy if you take the time to do the study first. I guess, if I am being given the privilege of Australian Citizenship, it's only fair I should have some knowledge of Aussie history, culture and politics.

Hi Aoife, That's great news. I know exactly how you felt. You made it look to easy though :).

Congraultions. I got a bit emotional at the ceremony - ours was a little strange as it had a picture of Queen at the very front. It was a really special day - hope yours is too.

Spring in the air in Sydney

The sun has been shining down on Sydneysiders, with a temperature of 22 degrees today. The summer clothing was pulled from the back of closets around the City and given a well earned airing. But will it last and should we tempt fate by packing away the winter woollies and Ugg boots? Well, we've been advised it could reach 28 degrees tomorrow! The beaches will be mobbed, and there'll be a mad rush on sunscreen. The boogie boards will be dusted off and the buckets and shovels retrieved from the co… Continue

39th Annual Sun Herald City 2 Surf race in Sydney

Today, at the Annual Sun Herald City 2 Surf race, 75,000 runners slogged (and some are still at it as I write this)along the roads of Sydney today, from Hyde Park in Sydney's CBD 14 Kilometres to the finish at Bondi Beach.

The sun shone and the race saw many colourful characters dressed up as celebs such as Michael Jackson and Superman.

The winner of the mens' race was Michael Shelley (runner up last year) , a 25 year old from the Gold Coast in Queensland, ran the race in 41 minutes.

The wome… Continue

MEN AT WORK MAY LOSE ROYALTIES

Well know Aussie band "Men at Work", famous for their 80's hit 'Down Under', that we all danced to way back then, are in danger of losing royalties from the well know hit. They are being sued for copywrite infringement and have been accused of stealing the famous flute riff from a well know Australian childrens song 'Kookaburra Sits in The Old Gum Tree', which was written over 75 years ago for a Girl Guides competition.A copywrite hearing is to be held in the Federal Court.

Doggie Day Out

I had a happy but tired pooch this morning, after spending a couple of hours at a dog friendly beach at Rowland Reserve, Bayview on Sydneys Northern Beaches. It's one of the few beaches where your wo(man)s best friend can run free, kick up some sand and have a ball!

Its a wonderfully scenic setting, with the fantastic Flying Fox Playground nearby to keep the kids amused while you sit down in the Flying Fox Cafe for a well earned coffee or a bite to eat and a bowl of water for your thirsty mutt.… Continue

Paid Maternity Leave for Oz

Good news for mums and dads! The Government have just announced paid maternity leave, which will encourage more women into the workforce.

Any primary carer (mother or father) will be entitled to 18 weeks pay at the minimum wage (about $544 per week) in a welcomed scheme due to commence on 1st January 2011, after the next election.

The mother and father can split the leave, if they wish, taking, say, 9 weeks each. The payment will be means tested and available to those earning less than $150,00… Continue
