in Australia
I want to take my phone charger and my daughter wants to take hair straighteners and hair dryer.
Are the English plugs compatible with the Australian sockets?

inside the box is nothing illegal, but i have to handcarry it because my friend will give it to me in bali (where i'm transitting, so i can't put it in my luggage). I'm sure it will pass the x-ray check, but i'm afraid they will have to open it.. won't they?
the box is 40 x 20 x 20 cm, and it's wrapped in fancy papers, just like a normal present (it is)..

I have an opportunity to take a job in New Zealand and my husband, a retired police SRT (aka SWAT or Special Ops) officer, is worried about New Zealand's gun laws (we would be coming from the US).

Can anyone give me a useful summary of the laws? My internet research has not been effective because I can only find small pieces of information, and what I've found seems to boil down to:
1. No pistols of any sort.
2. Shotguns are OK, so are some rifles but AK-type rifles or what they call "assault" configuaration in the US is illegal in New Zealand.
3. You must be licensed and registered to own weapons.
4. You may only shoot them at designated "shooting clubs".
5. For new residents there is a waiting period before they are allowed to own any weapon.

Can anyone help me out, or point me to a website where the gun laws are concisely written? Serious responses only please, and thanks for your help.

I stayed in a cabin park some years ago, the place was just off to the left on the pacific highway coming from Brisbane about 5 to ten mins before you get to a big shopping mall in coffs. I think there may have been a surfing or wax museum across the other side of the highway. The Wallabies used to stay in a resort about halfway between the cabin park and coffs town. I hope someone can help me out with the name and maybe phone number or e-mail address of the cabin park.

How far apart are Australia, New Zealand and Fiji?
It seems from the map they are all somewhat near one another.
Is it unrealistic to try and visit all three in one trip?
If that is do-able, how long would you recommend?
Three weeks? One month?

thank you.

I see websites that convert women's clothes and men's clothes, but I'm looking for children's clothes. In the US we have sizes for babies and toddlers by age, and Child small, medium, and large. Would like to know what they would be in Australia.

10 points for any digger capable answering this 3-part question (with story)... 'Twas back in the late 70's & early 80's that I was "Down-Under" - or "Top-Over" (depending upon your prefered perspective - spin IS relative.) There was this talk show celebrity, as I recall it, who was invited to appear on the Carson Show stateside: The dialogue came to into the discussion about Aussie wildlife and the "should-be-well-known" "CROW" differentiaion between the vocalizations of American crows and "heat-prostated" Aussie crows ensued by this celeb. 1) Who was this (in)famous Aussie celeb? 2) Is he still about raising "mischief" on the airways? And, 3) does anyone know whereI might find a clip of the interview segment online? Certainly, SOMEONE must recall the "crow call" segment... you know, where the Aussie crow during the midday, 90*-in-the-shade heat calls out "Fah-ah-ah-ahk, Fah-ah-ah-ahk, Fah-ah-ah-ahk...." Think hard... it'll come to ya, mates! I Love & Miss Aussie-land! Best Regards!
