But when defence say jump we say how high.... So any info about herping and reptile place's and pet shops etc etc would be great if anyone can help out... Yommy look out more darwinites heading your way

there are a few shops in ipswich its self but not towards amberly that i know of, there is just reptiles( www.justreptiles.com.au ) john and sharon are very helpful there are a few places to go herping, along the upper reaches of the brisbane river is good but watch out for the bull sharks if your goin in the river

 

[Aussie Python Lover]

hmmm i dont like bull sharks :|

 

[mines bigger]

[Aussie Python Lover]

[mines bigger]

(sorry to steal your thread , concider it a welcoming party LOL)

 

[Aussie Python Lover]

lol wont be until late sept is when we should be there but sounds good

 

[yommy]

DHA- (Don't Help Anybody)
They would be as good as in the NT though more choices of house.
We had built our own home before we went to katherine and moved back into it when we got back so we didn't have to deal with those clowns. The outer ippy areas are good, but we're out near springfield so away from the rif raf.

Drive from darwin and take the herp in the car with you, the allowances are excellent. You could cover an expensive pair out whatever and have some left over.

Ok water wise is it true that you can only have 2min showers??? Got told by a mate today who has just come back from QLD and he said he could have only 2min showers...So would it be better to drive from here to there? How long would it take and did you drive?

 

[Dodie]

Haha sounds like your mate is fibbing, altough the council are supposedly coming down on houses that use more than 160litres a day, most SEQlders got a 4minture shower timer in the mail, altough not very accurate. You cant water your garden or car either, not even with buckets anymore.

Yamanto is a much nicer place than Amberly, try for a place out there.
As a rule of thumb, Ipswich is always around 2degrees colder in winter/warmer in summer than Brisbane then add another 2 for Amberly..

 

[yommy]

level 5 - 4min showers something like 140ltr per person per day.
Your going to get a shock after being in the NT with the best water cement paths in aus

 

[yommy]

to quick for me dodie

Glad to hear that you will be moving down here. It will be great to finally meet you. Yeah water restrictions are pretty tight, but its something you get used to. There aren't to many good pet shops etc out that way as said but Just reptiles is helpful.
Good luck with the move
