The Australian government has given US President Barack Obama pairs of sheepskin boots and Tim Tams to take home to his daughters.
The gift list shows Malia, 13, and Sasha, 10, have been sent the Australian boots, a soft toy kangaroo and koala, a DVD of the Australian smash-hit film Red Dog and two packs of Tim Tam biscuits.
Mr Obama received a fawn-coloured Akubra Cattleman hat and a framed photograph of the 1941 signing of the ANZUS treaty.
He also takes home books written by Miles Franklin Literary Award winners, including That Deadman Dance by Kim Scott, Truth by Peter Temple and Breath by Tim Winton.
Mr Obama left Canberra on Thursday about 1.31pm (AEDT) to fly to Darwin for the final leg of his 26-hour Australian visit.

Earlier on Thursday, the US President addressed a special session of Parliament in Canberra and drew on the fair go nature of Australians and Americans to underline the historical and cultural likeness between the two nations.
It's the fourth time a US president has addressed federal parliament, following George W Bush, Bill Clinton and George Bush senior.
"The bonds between us run deep," he said.
"In each other's story we see so much of ourselves. Ancestors who crossed vast oceans-some by choice, some in chains.
"Settlers who pushed west across sweeping plains. Dreamers who toiled with hearts and hands to lay railroads and build cities.
"Generations of immigrants who, with each new arrival, add a new thread to the brilliant tapestry of our nations.
"And we are citizens who live by a common creed-no matter who you are or what you look like, everyone deserves a fair chance; everyone deserves a fair go."
Mr Obama noted he had travelled to Australia as a child and was struck then by the optimism and easy going ways of its people.
"I have always wanted to return," he added.
The president said the 60-year-old ANZUS alliance between the US and Australia had never been stronger, saying America was turning its attention to the Asia Pacific region.
"The United States has and always will be a Pacific nation," he said.
Mr Obama said the events of September 11, 2001 had sustained the relationship through a difficult decade, as innocent lives were lost.
"That is why ... we are determined to succeed in Afghanistan," he said.
He honoured the 32 Australian soldiers who had died, naming the last three troops killed last month - Ashley Birt, Bryce Duffy and Luke Gavin.
"We will honour their sacrifice by making sure Afghanistan is never again used as a source for terrorism," he said.
In the Pacific and Australia, the US sees the future.
"As the world's fastest-growing region - and home to more than half the global economy - Asia is critical to achieving my highest priority: creating jobs and opportunity for the American people," he said.
"With most of the world's nuclear powers and nearly half of humanity, this region will largely define whether the century ahead will be marked by conflict or cooperation, needless suffering or human progress.
"As President, I've therefore made a deliberate and strategic decision - as a Pacific nation, the United States will play a larger and long-term role in shaping this region and its future, by upholding core principles and in close partnership with allies and friends."
Mr Obama and Prime Minister Julia Gillard on Wednesday announced an expansion of US military activity in Australia, beginning with an increase in the presence of US Marines from mid-2012.
While the US was reducing defence spending, as it begins to wind down the war in Afghanistan, it is also considering the future of its armed forces.
"And here is what this region must know," he said.
"As we end today's wars, I have directed my national security team to make our presence and missions in the Asia Pacific a top priority.
"As a result, reductions in US defence spending will not - I repeat, will not - come at the expense of the Asia Pacific.
Mr Obama said the US would "preserve" its ability to project power and deter threats to peace.
"The United States is a Pacific power, and we are here to stay," he added.
Mr Obama said he was humbled and deeply moved during his visit to the Australian War Memorial earlier on Thursday where he paid respects Australia's "fallen sons and daughters".
Later he will visit the Northern Territory, joining Ms Gillard in saluting men and women in uniform.
"It will be a reminder that from the trenches of the First World War to the mountains of Afghanistan, Aussies and Americans have stood together," Mr Obama said.
"We have fought together, we have given lives together in every single major conflict of the past 100 years, every single one."
Mr Obama said we would never forget the attacks of 9/11 which claimed the lives of many, including Australians.
"That is why we are determined to succeed in Afghanistan," he said.
"That is why I salute Australia, outside of NATO the largest contributor of troops to this vital mission.
"And it's why we honour all those who have served there for our security, including 32 Australian patriots who gave their lives."

Obama visits the Australian War Memorial
After a warm reception in Canberra yesterday, President Obama attended the Australian War Memorial shortly after 9am (AEDT) this morning. The president honoured Australia's war dead by laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
He made his way past the Wall of Remembrance, which contains the names of more than 100,000 Australians killed in action, pausing for a moment to reflect on two of the panels.
The first was for HMAS Sydney, sunk with no survivors in Australia's worst naval disaster in 1941.
The second was for more than 30 Australian airmen who lost their lives serving with the US Armed Air Force in World War II.
The president was warmly welcomed by Governor-General Quentin Bryce, Prime Minister Julia Gillard, Veteran Affairs Minister Warren Snowden and memorial council chairman Peter Cosgrove.
After his parliament address, the focus will then be on education, with a visit to a local primary school by President Obama and Prime Minister Julia Gillard.
The strengthening of the ANZUS alliance and its 60th anniversary are expected to be highlighted further in the presidential speech, along with a steely resolve to finish the task ahead in Afghanistan.
There will also be a tree planting ceremony at the US embassy to mark the president's visit.
President Obama will then jet off aboard Air Force One to Darwin, where he will visit the memorial of the USS Peary, which honours the 80 American sailors killed when the warship was bombed by Japanese dive bombers in the 1942 attacks on the port.
Brown on best behaviour for Obama speech
Australian Greens leader Bob Brown says he will listen intently to Barack Obama when the US president addresses a joint meeting of parliament later on Thursday.
That's because he regards Mr Obama as "wiser and more astute" than his predecessor George W Bush.
Senator Brown castigated Mr Bush during a presidential address to parliament in 2003, demanding the US withdraw from Iraq and release Australian terror suspect David Hicks from detention.
The Greens leader and other parliamentarians have been warned by Speaker Harry Jenkins to behave themselves during President Obama's visit.
Senator Brown will be on his best behaviour, indicating he will be "listening intently" to the president's speech.
"(The president) is very welcome here, it's a pity he can't stay longer," he told ABC radio.
Mr Obama is due to speak at 10.15am (AEDT).
Before that the president will visit the Australian War Memorial to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
After the speech he will accompany Prime Minister Julia Gillard on a visit to a local school before heading to the US embassy to meet staff.
The president leaves Canberra for Darwin after midday.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott plans to congratulate Mr Obama on progress the US is making with the so-called war on terror when the two meet on Thursday morning.
"I've just come back from Afghanistan and I'll be able to let him know how proud Australian forces are to be serving with their American comrades," he told reporters in Canberra.
Climate change also will be a topic for discussion.
"It's interesting the president made it clear last night America has no intention of moving towards an economy-wide carbon tax," Mr Abbott said, adding Australia was exposed in the absence of an international deal.
"There's no doubt what the Americans are doing is along the lines of what the coalition proposes."
Mr Abbott joined his parliamentary colleagues for a dinner in President Obama's honour on Wednesday night.
"The dinner was a very warm occasion, it reflected well on Australia," he said.
"We were all at our best last night."
Mr Abbott joked that President Obama's attempt at Australian slang during his dinner speech was as good as his own impersonation of the American accent.
Liberal MP Ken Wyatt, the first indigenous MP in parliament's lower house, said he had told President Obama about their shared birthday (August 4) during the parliamentary dinner.
"It was a great privilege to meet him," Mr Wyatt told reporters, adding the president was an inspiration to Aboriginal people in Australia.
"It's good for people to see you have an American president who is different to his historical counterparts, who has gotten there on merit alone," Mr Wyatt said.

Realestate/Finance trends: Foreclosure activity up, with a lot more on the way

Real Estate: Mobile home trends mirror rest of East End market

By Jessica DiNapoli | 11/13/2011 6:00 PM | Featured Stories, News, Real Estate

Share|

BARBARAELLEN KOCH PHOTO | Jean and Joe Napolitano have lived in their Calverton home for nine years.

Even with community pools and clubhouses and deluxe options like stainless-steel appliances and stone countertops, mobile and manufactured homes are selling slowly — and often at a deep discount — according to local real estate brokers.
Mobile home prices mirror the rest of the East End real estate market, said John Bagshaw, owner of Bagshaw Real Estate in Riverhead. The low prices may not be great for sellers, but they’re great for potential buyers. Many of those buyers are people over 55 or young families just starting out and looking for a stepping stone to a conventional house.
“Now is a very good time to buy, because the prices are so low,” said Maryann Iacono, a broker at Little Bay Realty in Wading River. “And this is really the end of the selling time, so people are at the point where they’re disgusted, and they’re more apt to listen to a reduced price.”
Ms. Iacono recently sold a mobile home listed for $15,000 for $6,500, though she said it required a total gut renovation. The most expensive mobile home she has sold recently went for $52,000.
“It’s not a hot item,” she said. “I’ve sold three in the past two-and-a-half months, and I’ve sold them well below market value.”
Mobile home prices in Riverhead have fallen by almost 38 percent since 2008, though more are being purchased, according to data from the Multiple Listing Service of Long Island. From September 2010 through October 2011, the median price of the 84 mobile homes sold was $22,500. But from January to December 2008, the median price of the 23 mobile homes sold was $36,000.
In the down market, the 500-home Glenwood Village is still expanding and working on a high-end manufactured home subdivision called Glenwood Oaks, where units start at $199,000 and top off at $259,000, said Noreen Grossklaus, the sales/property manager for the community. The company reduced the starting price to $199,000 from $225,000 to better suit the economy, she said. The homes feature special frames and roof shingles, among other features, that make them manufactured homes, said Brian Stark, vice president of Stark Properties, which owns Glenwood Village.
Ms. Grossklaus said many of the people moving into Glenwood Oaks and the older Glenwood Village section sell their conventional homes and use the equity to move into the park, sparing themselves the expense of a mortgage. But conventional homes are also selling slowly, dragging out the time it can take to make the move into a mobile home, said Ted Hoye, the president of First Credit Corp., a company outside of Albany that helps buyers secure mobile home loans.
Mr. Hoye said standard rates for late-model mobile home mortgages start at 6.99 percent with 20 percent down. Most parks require criminal background and credit checks before allowing a new owner in.
Tomasz Gibas used owner financing to purchase his mobile home in Park View Community because he had difficulty securing a mortgage. The home was $75,000, he put down $25,000 and the prior owner financed the balance, said Mr. Gibas, a landscaper with a young family. He added that the property is no longer worth what he paid, but he hopes to eventually sell it and move.
Once a manufactured home at Glenwood is assembled and a sale can happen, closing goes very quickly, within a week, Mr. Stark said. Because community residents don’t own the land their homes sit on, there’s no deed transfer — only a title transfer, he explained. There are usually no lawyers involved, saving residents some pricey closing costs.
Homeowners also pay monthly association fees, which usually cover the lease on the land, garbage pickup and snow removal. Fees are $520 per month at Oakland Ridge in Calverton and $450 per month in Park View Community in Riverside, which are both family parks.
The homes in Glenwood Oaks feature four-foot crawlspaces, paver stone driveways and energy-efficient windows and construction.
Ornate chandeliers, interior Roman-style columns and Jacuzzi baths make the units seem more like small luxury houses than factory-ordered homes.
Those features draw potential buyers into the units, but Ms. Grossklaus also sells them based on the Glenwood community itself.
She said some conventional houses in Riverhead could be bought for prices less than or comparable to those of upgraded models at Glenwood. But Glenwood also offers residents a pool, clubhouse and activities with their peers, she said.
A sense of community drew Jean Napolitano and her husband, Joe, from their home in Central Islip to the 55-and-over Calverton Meadows community just over eight years ago.
“It’s the camaraderie. Here, everyone’s nice,” she said, adding that she and her husband organize the community’s Italian festival every year. “If we weren’t here, I would’ve retired, and then what?”
Ms. Napolitano was hesitant about leaving a conventional home for a mobile one, and checked out Leisure Village in Ridge before committing to Calverton Meadows.
“My mother said ‘So, you’re living in a trailer,’ ” and I said, ‘Ma, you have got to see, it looks like a regular house,’ ” she recalled.
The board at Park View — a cooperative in which all residents own the land together — has plans to create a sense of community by building an office, playground and clubhouse on a parcel of land they own fronting Flanders Road. Cynthia McLaughlin, the new president of the community’s cooperative board, said she plans to re-finance the mortgage on the park’s land to pay for the upgrades.
“We need to open our minds to mobile homes,” Ms. McLaughlin said. “It’s not undesirable people — it’s definitely a new trend.”

Where to find land for $15,000 or less within 30 miles of downtown Houston Texas? A few months back I found land for $10,000 in Spring Texas on e-bay, but did not have the savings back then and have had no luck finding similar values so far. I am just looking for a basic .5 acre-or-larger lot to invest in (and later build a home on).

I am in the North Atlanta area but will travel up to 100+ miles for a large collection, even better for several large or very old or interesting collections.

Real Estate Legal Question? I have a brief question for you We had a lien placed against a home for non payment of HOA dues and it went to auction in August. They owed about 2k. The 6 months of redemption expired in February. We received an Assessment Lien Deed. The County Appraisal site stills list the former owner as the current owner. If we owned the home wouldn't we be listed as the owners and would n't we have been billed for the taxes due at the end of the year? We emailed the HOA rep and she says we own it. I am not convinced that we own a home just because we have a lien. It seems the bank still owns it because they own the mortgage. It seems to me that if we owned the home, then we would have been awarded a Deed of Ownership not an Assessment Lien Deed. We need to make arrangements to get the grass cut on a regular schedule and secure the home.Yes, the home is unlocked. I do not want to do anything (like entering the home or locking it ) if we do not have the legal right to be there. Can you tell me if this lien awards us ownership? If it does, then we will have a Saturday morning project securing the property and prepping it for sale. BTW, I am in Texas. Thanks. I am the Board member of an HOA with a vacant home. We had a lien placed against the home for nonpayment of HOA dues and then they abandoned the home and left it to the bank. We were told by the HOA rep we owned the house but I don't think we do. I want to know if we own it or how to find the bank so they can assume responsibility for it.
Are Real Estate Agents held accountable for misleading or misqouting an owner about price ? I have a property which I bought 6 years ago very cheaply although it had been on the market for a long time, mailny because the "locals" couldn't see the value in it. It has since been rezoned as a unit or development site, its a large corner block 1380 sqm with a beautifull 1908 Queenslander style home. The Agent qouted me "on-line" that it is now worth $850,000 - $900,000. I payed $139,000 for it and thought it might be worth half that ! What if someone goes to Auction and spends $10,000 on advertising and marketing to find out it's not worth that ? Can you claim back the advertising cost or prosecute for false or misleading info, or is there a chance the Agent is right ? Sorry, i'm the owner, i wanted to know if the Agent is liable for advertising cost if they mislead you about the price you could sell for. Everyone would LOVE to make that amount of profit, but is it realistic ?
ATTENTION REAL ESTATE INVESTORS. 77k Short Sale...? First I would like to apologize for the ridiculous header here, but this question needs some attention. For the last year I lived in Des Moines, IA. Iowa is a Judaical foreclosures state so naturally I went to the courthouse got my list of notices of default and started down the list. Also I started attending the sheriff sale auctions on Tuesday's and Thursday's. This is when things started getting weird. About every 3-4 weeks I would watch someone get a ridiculous deal. When I say ridiculous deal I don't mean 20k instant equity, it was more like 40-60k of instant equity! And yes I did the due diligence on these property's nothing big wrong with them and no second liens. Here is the sheriff site http://sheriffsale.co.polk.ia.us/detail.asp?id=5666 Exihbit A. the sheriffs page showing the foreclosure debt and what it went for. The address is listed. Go to the very bottom where it says "Polk County Office Property Database" put the address in and check it for yourself Apparently some hacker got on the site this weekend and wrote "Azad was here" which is perfect for me because you now can't see the address or person in foreclosures name so it is going to be hard do some of this but the next thing to look at is the recorders site http://landrecords.polkcountyiowa.gov/resolution/indexing/idx_simple_name_search.asp When the city corrects the website you will be able to input the defendants name. Look at the liens. This company must have started the bidding at 50k! I guess what I came here to ask is if I can find these deals and just can't outbid the house buyers guy what do I do? Anyone out there want to make alto of money? And to answer the obvious question, no I cannot get the financing to do this. And just so we have the figures right he got the house for 62k and say you could sell it easily for 139-140. Make sure you go to these sites, they have a very good online system. Well I can't say that I'm not shocked. The first person to comment on this is a negative Nancy that thinks I am dumb and uninformed. Couldn't be further from the truth. His first question "Upon what values are you making such an assumption" I have used multiple real estate valuation tool, some that I subscribe to or I could just go with the simple answer I looked at the site that is attached to the first questing! And as I said that site has apparently been breached. But, when it is back up I'm guessing Monday or Tuesday you will be able to use this site to see what the home has sold for in the past and what its assessed value is.

Home Auction Etiquette? My husband and I have been house hunting and on a popular realty website, we found the *perfect* house. The problem? It's being auctioned off. We realize that we will almost undoubtedly lose at the auction. We don't have a great deal of disposable money and we've got a baby on the way to pay for as well. But we desperately want to at least try for this house. Before the live auction, the house is up for auction on-line. The seller can choose to refuse the highest on-line bid and go to an on-site auction. Here's my question: is it considered uncouth to email the representative for the seller and ask what kind of interest has been shown in the house, if there is a reserve, etc? Should we instead have our real estate agent do the digging? I'm just not sure what is appropriate behavior for online and then on-site home auctions. Thanks so much for your time! I appreciate the answers thus far. However, I'd like to point out - my question is not *Should I buy this auctioned house?*, my question is *What is protocol for inquiring for an item being auctioned?*
What real estate auction sites are free? I'm looking for free real estate auction sites to help people who lost their houses because they didn't pay their property tax. Can someone please help me out?

How can I convince a bank to take my offer on a foreclosed home? My boyfriend and I have been trying to get this one home that was put on the market over a year ago! We have been the only offers on the home and put in our first offer about 2 1/2 months ago. There is a LOT of vandalism to the house, and the foundation seems to be bowing a little. These things will need a lot of work. They are asking 69,900 for it and we've offered 40,000 since it needs so much work and no one else is offering. They sat on our offer for a while and then came down to 68,900. We offered 45,000 and a down payment of 12,000. The home was supposed to go to auction, but after that offer it was taken off the auction list. It was even taken offline from the selling sites. The bank just now came back with a rejection. I'm not sure our real estate agent is working at it enough, is there anything we could do to get to the bank? The house WAS scheduled to go into auction, but because of our offer they pulled if from auction. Other houses in the area are selling for around their asking price, but do not have the vandalism and foundation damage that this house does. We are the ONLY offers on the house, no one else wants it. Tons of people have looked at it, but found that it was too much work.
Short sale nightmares? We put in an offer on a short sale home just under a month ago, the owners accepted but they had an 80/20 loan so we hired a lawyer to get the two banks to agree on her offer. Last our real estate agent talked to the banks, lawyer and other real estate agent it looked as if the banks were going to accept our offer (this was wed. or thurs. I believe) but on saturday I searched the house to see if there were any updates on remax or any of the other sites and came across a foreclosure notice in our local paper for July 11 that was just entered friday. Is it possible for them to go to auction and try and get more than our offer behind our backs? Obviously we know now but could that have been their original plan or would that be against the terms of the agreement?? One things for sure, we will never attempt another short sale purchase! Goyo- With short sales, the home owners make a deal with the banks before they are foreclosed on. They are the true owners, they put the house up on the market, they pick the best offer and then the banks must agree with it. You can't just make an offer to the banks. Teran- I think you may be right here. Our real estate agent actually doesn't seem to worried and the lawyer posted a bunch of other foreclosures the same day-- probably just taking care of the paperwork in case our offer falls through. On the bright side, at least now we know we'll have a solid answer before then!
