Unfortunately, she could not come with us for the wine tasting as she is still underage and is a cat.

The Thrill of Building Inspections
Ever thought that all houses and dwellings are the same all around the world? I bet you didn't and you are correct!  In this episode, we explore some of the building properties in Australia that differ from our South African worldview. A few of these might be obvious to you, but nonetheless, we found it strange. For example, is your house prepared to deal with floods and how many different types of garbage bins are normal to you? Listen to this episode to hear our stories about these topics and more. #episode8 #thrillofbuildinginspections #r_rclubpodcast #RRclub #podcast #apartment #house #building #storieoftheweek #ourexpereince #comparingtoSA #newthings #security #electrical #water #bonusofrent #buyingaplace #stayinginsydney #recycling #sydney
