Thanks @Meowmy I will! Have been checking out exercise bikes on Kogan and an assembly manual. Will buy after the New Year. The bike I looked at had a maximum weight of 130kg. The manual looks complicated like a headache to assemble. Read reviews and the seat was hard even though shock absorbent.

The buses out this way aren't too bad for a semi regional township @TAB I possibly need to get out and walk in that lovely man-made lake area a few times a week. I'm just back in from my afternoon walk. Lovely warm breezy weather. Its going to be warm the next few days so walks later in the afternoon/early evening for me. I think I will have savoury mince for dinner.
I got slugged with an annual Kogan fee after checking my bank statements today. Just heard all houses have to go electric either by 2024/25 that includes cooking, hot water systems and heating. Saw someone attend a meeting about it. I think its going to wind up being really costly doing these upgrades.

they already did that in Esperance in WA @Former-Member re getting rid of gas. so many old gas stoves for sale on fb now as well ..

Yes I saw a gas stove thrown out on the naturestrip on one of my walks. My guess is all your home would be electric? I have reverse cycle aircon in my room, now solar power. Got my electricity bill and it was zero. Still had Centrepay contributions though. Its going to be a titan to pay off the loans. Home ownership is about to get more costly. I think they will give homes an energy rating and you have to be within a 7 out of 10 or something. Saw someone attend a meeting about it in Kingston which they shared a video of on facebook. Next thing they'll probably expect us to have insulation in both walls and ceiling lol! @TAB
