Government department = stupid decisions

davoe, my vehicle is still registered in Vic, even though I haven’t been there for about six years, an then it was by plane. they won't register it here in WA 'cause it has to go over the pits, as you do for the first time and it's now wearing different rims an tyres, and I've been told, when I did apply to have the rego changed, that they will have to be replaced with the originals... won't happen!!
As to the parking tickets... yep your correct there, can park anywhere you wish with Vic plates, I actually asked a parking inspector why he didn't book THAT vehicle wrongly parked over there?...(made out it was not mine) and he explained it would be a waste of his time as there was no reciprocal deal with Vic. Now I know it's ok to park for hours, unless they have wheel clamps etc....

You say “Besides isn’t the postcode for Clearville 6714”, I’m not sure, I believe it’s called Cleaverville, but I could easily be wrong, it’s at the mouth of the Nickol river between Roebourne & Karratha, and is just a beach with no facilities at all down a dirt road.
It’s a great place to ‘hang out’ at the far end of summer for a few weeks, waiting to go further north as the monsoons finish up north, as long as you stay away from ‘Honda city’ just over the sand hill.

Definately 6714. Until you hit Roeburne its still the karratha post code.
What do you mean no facilities? Theres a big yellow bin at the fork on the way in!

For an address, check out any backpackers. Most of them will hold mail for you if you ask nicely- some may charge a fee if you are not staying there. Working in insurance that was the only way most backpackers could sort themselves out- Put down the address of somewhere you will be in a week, call them and ask them to hold the mail then collect on your way through. Just dont tell the DOT that its a backpackers- only give your name and the address.

Enjoy those sand flies.

I use the Melbourne Post Office to get my mail sent to, because I can ring the manager on the 3rd or 4th of each month and have it all sent to me where-ever I will be the following week, it takes 4 or 5 days to get here, works well for me.

When I was in Cleaverville the couple of 44 gallon drum 'garbage bins' were emptied every now an then by the karratha council. Don't remember any yellow bin being at the fork in the road.

The river (creek) has some nice fish in it towards the mouth and the crabs, in season of course, are awesome in the bay.

umm I think he means like Highway 1, in Vic its the Princes Highway, and I guess it goes all around this place called Oz

Bonz, yer got that right...

It goes all around Aussie, designated as Highway (1) but it's called the 'Brand' over here in places and the Princes Highway back in Berwick Vic, where I used to live before I saw the light and ventured West in '97.

In that case - it's Highway One.

"T'other siders" coming over 'ere renaming our streets! Bah

Typical Eastern Staters think THIER roads go all the way round "Oz"!!

Sheesh - WA pays fer everything in "Oz" and we can't even get naming rights!

Iron ore,
Coal,
Wheat,
Gold,
Diamonds,
Bauxite,
Copper,
Lead,
Tin,
Gas,
Oil,

etc,etc,etc. ;)

You forgot NICKEL and once the Pollies over East get over themselves it sould also be Uranium, anyway if you are in Sa you can take the alternate highway1 - No fancy names like Damn good coast road or nothing just Alternate

And here al this time I though Highway 1 was called the Pacific Highway like it is on the East coast between Brissy and Syd???

you forgot to add
AND some of the countries best cricketers

Shaker, yes that's true only if you do nothing about it :-)

I have the Insurance angle covered with my insurance company, and as I don't “appear” to have a permanent address in WA, I’m classified as a 'nomadic traveller' or ‘itinerant’ for the purposes of insurance.
Over here the insurance company I use only requires to know the post code to rate the risk.
