RE: Business Ideas for future Expats
Busy doing nothing in particular right now apart from nursing a slight hangover...a joint venture with another forumite...I ain't gonna say his name.
Last thing I remember is we came close to our own Grand Unified Theory of all the world's problems. It's not really all that hard to do. A pity we didn't write anything down (maybe we were trying to save paper, rain forests...). We did help the economy of some place in the Bahamas.
I'm "writing" this against my better judgment. But, just imagine for a moment...your head is spinning like a scene out of The Exorcist, you take a peek at the latest posts here and voila!, transported to the land of dentistry and money-making ideas for future expats. Hello? And Queensland.
OK, let it rip.
Bert - just wondering: do they have rabbits in Holland? If so, and you think you look like one at the moment, you'd have to be the biggest rabbit over there. Could be (more) famous.
The Linda Spears "site" is bloody awful. I don't care how good her teeth are these days, but come on now - what a blatant attempt at trying to make money from nothing. Really.
I accidentally clicked on a link yesterday about how to make $300,000 in 24 hours without doing any work. We all know bullshit sites like that (don't we?). Money for nothing and teeth for free. I wonder what rain shower Ms Spears fell from? Is she from Queensland?
Oh...Queensland. Australia's red-neck state (the Northern Territory is still that...a territory, not a state...I'm still not sure of the difference). Nice enough place (some of it), but I reckon the Gold Coast, Noosa, Cairns, Port Douglas, etc, were seriously "compromised" many years ago. A bit like what's happening here in Bali.
Does anybody go to Mt Isa? Watch out for crocodiles in that northern rain forest (very big teeth). Box jelly fish. The world's biggest peanut. Where's Bjelke Jo these days and his wife's famous scones? Flo-ing in the wind, perhaps. (Sorry - couldn't resist that.)
If you're not one of this forum's moderators, and have read this far, we are friends for life. Send me a PM - we can talk about anything, see "everything", get down and boogie, you name it. Jangan malu (don't be shy or embarrassed).
:shock:

I offer as many excuses to Balinese as to other Nationalities, I don't discriminate ;)Originally Posted by Kadek
But I am sure Tinker wanted to know something about North Bali, and not about Queensland, and I just misused her phrasing a bit :P

Here you go Phil. From Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/States_and ... _AustraliaThe states originated as separate British colonies prior to Federation (in 1901). Their powers are protected by the Australian constitution, and Commonwealth legislation only applies to the states where permitted by the constitution. The territories, by contrast, are from a constitutional perspective directly subject to the Commonwealth government. The Australian Parliament has powers to legislate in the territories that it does not possess in the states.
Most of the territories are directly administered by the Commonwealth government, while three (the Northern Territory, the Australian Capital Territory and Norfolk Island) administer themselves. In the self-governing territories the Australian Parliament retains the full power to legislate, and can override laws made by the territorial institutions, which it has done on rare occasions. For the purposes of Australian (and joint Australia-New Zealand) intergovernmental bodies, the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory are treated as states.
Furthermore, the distribution of powers between the Commonwealth and the territories is different from that between the Commonwealth and the states. In the Northern Territory, the Commonwealth retains the power to directly administer uranium mining and Aboriginal lands - powers which it does not possess with respect to the states.
Each state has a Governor, appointed by the Queen, which by convention she does on the advice of the state Premier. The Administrators of the Northern Territory and of Norfolk Island are, by contrast, appointed by the Governor-General. The Australian Capital Territory has neither a Governor nor Administrator, but the Governor-General exercises some powers that in other jurisdictions are exercised by the Governor of a state or Administrator of a territory, such as the power to dissolve the Legislative Assembly.

Tina, like you we have lived in the Cairns-Tableland area for 18 years. We moved from Cairns to lake Eacham, Cairns to our liking became to touristy. At lake eacham we owned 10 acres of rainforest with over 40species of birds, it was beautiful,but cold as soon as the sun was set, and of course rained very often.
I love Bali, but my heart is still inQueensland and the Outback
As you wrote there is so much to see.
