Welcome Amy,I am a South Aussie and I hope that you get as much enjoyment from your machine as I doTrudy
Thankyou Thermomixer, In answer to your question I have had my machine for about a year and a half. Both of my daughters have one also. I must admit I don't use mine as often as they do but I think it's just a matter of working out how to convert things and sometimes it's just easier to do it "the old way"Something I must stop!!!!! I had read in this forum that the UK Book "demonstrators Delights"gave you instructions for converting but while I was in the UK last year I purchased one but it doesn't seem to contain this info.
