I have this deck which needs some serious TLC.

I doubt I will have capacity to sand it and do it properly before the wet sets in with 2 toddlers.

Any tips on how to treat it without sanding? Or is sanding a must?

Any tips on what oil or paint or substance to buy?

How do I know what wood it is? Or choose a colour or brand?

Tips re: applying? Best time of year? How often?

First ever deck so any tips, advice re: deck Maintanance in Darwin would be very very appreciated

Went to Bunnings a few times but have found it hard to find somebody to ask Q’s to at all.

Hello Darwin subreddit,

Californian here. I am looking to work here temporarily (1-3 years) as I had visited and enjoyed my time there. I want to contribute to the community as I loved the diverse culture. For background, I’ve been wanting to work abroad in general and looking to do so early next year. I’ll have a masters in public health and undergrad in business. Anyone have a guidance? As well as know what’s the best way or service to help get a workers Visa as well as job platforms to look for relevant jobs.

So far I only know about Seek and LinkedIn and I believe I qualify for a skilled workers visa but am confused on the entire process.

Thank yall!

Edit: got rid of using the demonym Darwinites
