ABC should be there, it’s the only station on VHF (Channel 11). If you can access the manual scan options on your TV, you might be able to scan it back in. I imagine it will be NSW ABC. Enjoy your stay, I’d be interested to go there one day and have a look. ---

Finally completed the tax return (says someone that usually does it in Sept/Oct). Surprised with a (estimated) decent credit for the first time ever, after the levies and surcharges. Has there been an increase in the taxation offset for 2020/21? Also find the ATO’s idea of someone with a six-figure income as “low income” (i.e. the offset) odd.
