Oh my GOSH I love this country!
TEN WORKING DAYS -that’s how long I can expect to wait for an Australian passport. A PASSPORT! I don’t even have to wait in a queue. I book my interview at a recognised Australia Post post office, turn up with the completed forms and VOILA – they check stuff out, lodge it in to the passport office and it’s done. We are so spoilt here.
We have a few paperbark trees at the edge of our street. They’ve become overgrown and branches and leaves are obstructing our view of traffic. A quick call to the council and I will have a vegetation officer come and inspect the trees. He/she will pop a written report in my letterbox telling me what will be done and in the next TEN to 15 WORKING DAYS the offending trees will either be pruned or cut off. Did you hear that..A VEGETATION OFFICER! Australia has vegetation officers.
Yep. Love this country.
