Paying for the right to go fishing…is the rest of the forum laughing at us yet?
Can’t go for a walk down the street in Australia without being taxed for it

I 100% we should not have to pay to fish or if we do they should at least put 100% of the money into marine conservation and water ways funded programs. Not splurge the cash on equipment so they can get around to fine us! From what i know not all states require a fishing license.
Plus now they are making it compulsory to wear life jackets when rock fishing which just makes fishing harder for every one. How about take some of the money we pay and put swimming programs in schools. I am all for safety but more water awareness programs could be utilized instead of making us wear life jackets.

Its common in America also i watch a few fishing channels they get pulled up a bit and checked for licenses over there the rangers carry guns and all lol.

Keen eye buddy, yeah I got sick of the Sydney rat race and moved to beautiful Brissy, best decision of my life. I still watch all your YouTube videos though, keen up the excellent work.
I’d be happy paying to fish as well if the money went exactly as you stated above, especially as I’m a scuba diver as well.

Yea i am looking into moving also the area has gone down hill its way to busy now. I was eyeing out Melbourne but prices are high there also but i like the atmosphere. Not a fan of Queensland the weather is to hot lol but you get good bang for buck.

Me and my mates spear fish heaps at Laperouse when its a bit warmer.

I posted this deal on Ozbargain and forgot to post here. Most stock is probably gone so call up first! I know heap of members on here are on Ozbargain some even with the same name.

The Bosch Brushless Destroyer is extremely powerful due to its 75 Nm hard torque. It also has a full metal chuck and is very convenient thanks to the KickBack Control and Precision Clutch.

The GDR Impact Driver’s optimised head length makes working in narrow places simple, along with it’s compact and ergonomic grip design to make for a comfortable fatigue free application.

The 18V 2 Piece Brushless Heavy Duty Destroyer Kit contains:

• 18V GSB Brushless Destroyer Hammer Drill Skin

• 18V GDR Brushless Impact Driver Skin

• 2 × 5.0Ah 18V-Li Batteries

• AL1860CV Fast ChargerTool Bag

• Electronic motor protection ensures longer motor lifetime by protecting it from overloading

• Electronic cell protection for long lasting battery life by preventing overload

• Heavy duty tool bag makes for easy transport of tools and accessories

This seems like a good deal! Drill has heaps of power i think it may be the same drill or similiar as the Ebay scam that was going.

Should we start a new thread for Australian Amazon deals or keep this thread?

I’m easy.
I was driving around the back blocks of Dandenong yesterday and said to the guys I was with, that warehouse would look good in my backyard. It was the new Amazon warehouse.

Is it big?

They where supposed to soft launch today but nothing so far.

We will see what they bring i guess. So far Thorfire have said they will be selling from there.

Keep the deals here I reckon, still Aussie deals

subscribing

The warehouse itself was massive. The carpark was full of cars so there was quite a few people working there.

Not sure if this eneloop deal is still on? But if so, id be interested to know how much it cost to ship a pack to the Netherlands. I tried to become a member but the system harshly rejected me because I'm not living in OZ

I’d love to help out anytime.

olightstore.com.au has up to 40% off – looks like there are some ok deals.

Hey Chibim Ozbargain is a site where we post deals they dont actually sell anything. The actual deal is at a Costco store in Sydney which you have to be a member to access. Also the deal has been up for ages i doubt any are left.

Yes that deal is over. I went looking for a search function on the Costco website but couldn’t find one.

Maybe I am slow today but how does one access the Amazon AU site?

I thought there was a targeted launch yesterday and a general launch today. The AU site is still ebooks.

Yea same here i am getting nothing yet weird?

While i am here Dewalt is having a black Friday sale here in Australia so most retailers are stocking this for around $199 and Bunnings and Toolmart have it for $189. Seems really cheap for a hammer decent drill plus you get the big battery.

^ I thought that was yesterday and today was supposedly a general launch. I guess the launch date was from the same source as the free ice cream.

Google is finding some content but the front door is not open yet:
https://www.amazon.com/AU/pages/9525165011

Maybe not the same as https://www.amazon.com.au content.

SCA has a 14500 USB Rechargeable headlamp on sale for $9.90. No idea if it is any good, however one review states that the 14500 is “built in”.

EDit- Just realised this is delivery only.

Looks interesting. I’ll have to order one when I get home for curiosity sake.

Thanks.
They appear to be these: http://favourlight.com/products/headlight/details/ah0tc1n002
Favourlight

Or you can get one with two CR123As !!
http://favourlight.com/products/headlight/details/ahl0c2l001

Not on my head thanks.

No sense of adventure?

Maybe with an 18650 instead of two CR123As.

Thanks mapache! I need a headlamp, and when I logged in to the SCA site I discovered I has credit, so I got two for $0.

Yea i was looking at the Supercheap Multimeters they are re-bagged UNI-T meters at a marked up price.

Cant pick the headlamp up in store. $7.50 for postage.
