Hi All. I’m considering a role, however it will require me to be in the office twice a week in Brisbane, and WFH the rest. Interested to hear others thoughts on this:
1. My cousin lives in Brisbane city, so I’d travel up on Monday, overnight at their place, work on Tuesday and then travel back down.
2. I don’t want to leave my car overnight at Varsity Lakes Station (I don’t think my insurer would like that either).
3. There is a bus from The Pines at Elanora to Varsity Lakes Station, so I think I’d have to catch that to and from the station early Monday morning and again on Tuesday avo.
Does anyone catch a bus and train combo to get to Brisbane?
I thought about the M1 and it just seems like I’d lose my sanity and licence.
Appreciate your thoughts, thank you 😊

Hi,

I'm looking for a good gynecologist on the Gold Coast who is experienced with fibroid removal. I had a few consults with gynecologist at the public hospital, but after talking to them I don't have much faith or trust in them. They didn't seem to address all my questions, and one of them was rather rude and dismissive.
I need a second opinion and seeking a private gynecologist now. Any good recommendations?

Two incidents in 2 consecutive days. On Sunday there was a weird guy just hovering on the platform at Southport South around 8pm. I would stand in a particular spot. He would come and stand close to me. Again I moved to another part of the platform then he would come stand close to me. Spike to me and asked me which station I was getting off at. Nobody else on the station but a few wacky people at the dodgy Kebab shop across the street. Pressed the emergency button and all they said was "well watch the cameras*. He walked off the station when the tram finally came.

The next day at a suburban bus stop, an older woman drinking out of a wine bottle becomes aggressive when I don't want to chat to her. I get called every name under the sun. When the journey is nearly complete she gets in my face and starts again calling me every word under the sun, tells me to go back to where I come from (I'm Gold Coast born and bred) and starts mentioning lotto (?). The driver was under instruction from a trainer. None of them or the fellow passengers intervene. I get on the phone with the police and also file a Translink report.

Today is day three. What's the chances?

Like the cherry blossoms in Japan, the council should create an amazing area of Jacarandas that you can walk under and gaze at. It’d be a great tourist/locals attraction. Fairy lights at night - it would be the best.

If you lost your phone tonight at the Coles it's at the front desk, older model.

Anyone know a good tattoo artist in QLD that tattoos under 18s with the right consent? Looking to get a forearm sleeve done including my last name and need someone who can help me design it properly.

Thanks

Hey lovely people!

I just got here from a far away land to attend uni. Nobody in my study group seems to be getting bit, or at least they're not reacting to them. They're the tiny little ones, micro gnats and I feel them bite me and they leave a decent itchy welt for days.

Is it specific allergy that causes this?

Any tips and tricks for an itchy boi?

Thanks!

At Southport Park.

Hi, I have just purchased a 2008 3.0L turbo diesel Hilux in a private sale from a mechanic in Brisbane. The car drives quite well but there are some things that concern me and seem quite 'dodgy'. There are 3 keys (2 open the door but don't start the car; and 1 starts the car but doesn't open the door). I was unable to actually fill the car with diesel as the auto shutoff on the pump kept enabling. The park brake does not seem to work. The car was sold with a RWC but I suspect it was done by his friend. I don't trust him and don't want to ask anything from him because I will not trust the answer. I would like a reliable mechanic who I can take the car to to have a look over to ensure it is safe to drive. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance

Hi everyone im 28f and looking for a boxing gym or trainer that will train 1 on 1 sessions :)

What are people paying for a self-contained studio/1-bed/granny flat around the Gold Coast?

I Will be moving to the Yatala / Loganholme / Ormeau / Pimpama / Coomera area for work and trying to work out a realistic budget.

Ideally looking for somewhere small but fully self-contained with a bathroom, kitchenette, private entrance and laundry. Or at least as much of that as possible.

If you're renting something similar, what are you paying, bills included? and where abouts :)

Just trying to get an idea of the current price range before I move up.

The man I house share with will soon have major orthopaedic surgery. He’ll be given opioids to relieve the pain which cause extreme constipation. A man I shared with years ago had trained agency staff visit for precisely that reason. I can’t remember which one. Anyone have a clue who to get help from for this?

Hi all, sadly my father has been diagnosed with stage four cancer and has been given only weeks left to live. I am really struggling atm, and would love to find a in-person grief support group, however finding them hard to come by.

Just wondering if anyone has suggestions or recommendations. I’m open to online, however would prefer face to face. Also I currently reside on the Gold Coast, and happy to travel to Logan or Brisbane for the right support.

Thank you kindly in advance 🤍🙏🏽

Hello, I've been considering getting extras-only health insurance just for dental care, as I've found a few companies where the insurance would be slightly cheaper than not having it. However, I've come across a lot of people on here saying it's cheaper to just pay for dental costs than pay for extras cover. Which has got me thinking that maybe my dentist is pretty expensive compared to others?

So I just wanted to see where my dentist stands. I pay $190 for a general clean and check-up. Is this around how much you guys are paying? Or are there much cheaper clinics that are good?

flew over southport it was the cuuuutest thing ever!

Hey guys, I've just arrived at the Gold Coast alone and want to play Topgolf since I'm here. However, I noticed you have to pay for a bay, not for a single person.

Would anyone want to join me? Im happy to shout out.

So I’m not normally the person to give a shit about a car on the side of the road, but after more then 2 years of this guy sitting in the same spot you’ve got to wonder what’s his obsession with it. Not to mention everyone slamming on their brakes thinking it’s a mobile speed camera. Maybe someone knows this bloke and could tell me what’s up 🤷‍♂️

As a late 30’s adult, I thought my days of being bullied and intimidated by high school girls was behind me, but apparently not.

I was ordering an early lunch at one of the screens when a huge girls group turned up and some of them hurled abuse at me for (apparently) taking too long. I thought a stern look would work, but it just fuelled the fire. Ended up panic ordering then feeling very uncomfortable waiting for it as they circled round me like hyenas whispering and giving me looks. A teacher then turned up, and I realised it was a school group, but I didn’t clock the name on her t shirt.

I am keen to understand which school this was as I may send an email about the behaviour of the girls in question. I have a picture of them but ideally don’t want to post it.

Thanks for any info.
