In true British fashion I will begin with telling you the weather! In Melbourne it’s FREEZING! We are shivering our socks off and all heaters are on full blast…Hello winter!!! So whilst Victoria has been breaking national records, it’s for all the wrong reasons, the coldest May ever recorded!
We here at the taxback.com office have been throwing our scarves and caution to the wind though, and are bracing the big chill to help backpackers with their tax refunds before they all head north or go into hibernation!
The shop has somewhat quietened down (on the travel side) so were bringing tax refunds to the masses now. And we’re having a great time doing it… quiz nights, tax talks, free bbqs and heart warming taco and sangria evenings are part of our ever growing repertoire of events we are putting on or sponsoring. Hostels and backpackers alike are joining in the fun and repeat dates are being lined up as we speak. Hurrah we say!
Moving on…Did anyone see the Royal Wedding? Down here we got very excited about it! To celebrate we decked the shop out in red, white and blue balloons and bunting, played classic wedding tunes and gave anyone from the UK free internet, along with a great refund promo offer on Facebook!
Taxback.com recently decided to start sponsoring the famous Neighbours Nights here in Melbourne. Each and every Monday, Elephant and Wheelbarrow in St Kilda is packed to the rafters with working holiday makers, hoping to meet and greet the stars of Neighbours. Even if you are not a big fan of Neighbours it is a night not to be missed!
The Taxback.com team have been in attendance for the last few Mondays hosting the night and briefing you on what stars will be appearing. The night is a great laugh with fun competitions and some X-rated questions from all of you directed to the Neighbours stars! We love the wacky questions so keep them coming and who doesn’t love a hug from Dr Karl? Certainly not us!
Well, I think that’s enough about us for now, I’m off to find my gloves! :)
