Why can't there be an Amazon Australia or equivalent? All we seem to have here is a bunch of slow, crappy book-ordering sites that *never* sell what you want and cost more than Ebay. I swear if something isn't done about this, I'll built it myself. I so agree about Amazon!

I'd like to think there's something about home you miss. From my adventures in the US over a decade ago now I reckon my list would include real cheese and decent bread.

ZipCar here ranges between $10 to about $25 per hour depending on the car, usually capped at around $100 for a 24 hour period. That is pretty good value.

They offer cars from only $13 for the night or $66 for the weekend - incredible value I believe. I believe they're moving to Brisbane soon.
