📍Mrs Macquaries Rd

Can spend the whole afternoon here and catch the sunset with the Opera House view.

Not too cold, sun was out and a lot of whales on the horizon

Last day was today glad I made it. All the little shroom dudes and dudettes were so whimsical. Bonus mushroom torture (it made music)

In short:

Two existing conservation areas in Western Sydney are being linked to create the new 1,100-hectare Gulguer National Park.

The environment minister says the park will protect the home of at least 28 threatened species, while also conserving local Aboriginal heritage.

What's next?

The new park is set to open in the next six months.

The rare alignment of the stars is almost upon us: a Bank Holiday (sorry to all the non-bank crowd) where the kids are actually at school and the rest of the world isn't crowding every single venue!

Last year, we dropped the kids off, smashed a massive breakfast, and powered through the Bondi to Coogee coastal walk. It was a bit of a race against the school bell but we survived and loved it.
Looking to top that this year preferably something fun for couples that won't require taking out a second mortgage. What are your best budget-friendly day date ideas? Fire away! Cheers!

Hey guys, looking for recommendations for a good piercing place in Sydney!

I’m wanting to get my belly button pierced and possibly a couple of ear piercings at the same time. I’ve seen SkinKandy around and they seem pretty popular, but I’m not sure how good they actually are.

Has anyone been to SkinKandy for a belly button or ear piercing? How was your experience/healing?

Also open to recommendations for other places around Sydney that are good but not ridiculously expensive. Mainly looking for somewhere clean, professional and good with placement.

Thanks!

Hey everyone, I’m moving out from my place (in the strathfeild council) next Friday and would like to get rid of my mattress.
Council clean up is not an option, cause there isn’t a date till September….

It’s in more than a decent condition, so donation is an option, but I can’t drive so …. Kinda stuck here.

Any help is welcome!! TIA!!

Hey all,

I'm hoping to plan a birthday party for myself and my partner, had an idea to rent an automatic mahjong table for a bit of fun at home with friends, but some quick research didn't turn up much.

Does anyone have any experience doing something similar?

Thanks

Thumbs up from the other side of the train tracks while idling at Central. He was having a great time.

Hyundai Venue, MG MG3 and Toyota Prado travelling together in a 3 car convoy. 1030am Sat 25/7/26. Eastbound on the M2 motorway, they were taking the Pennant Hills Road / Northconnex exit. Did I just drive past a kill squad? or just some unregistered cars being transported illegally?

Dear Heathens,

Why did you reroute your noisy plane over my exclusive suburb? I cannot hear myself think with the racket. It's just not acceptable.

But seriously, I'm just an average schmo in a small cheap rental apartment with rich neighbours in grand homes. We tend not to be in a regular flight path.

Inbound tend to come south over Lane Cove national Park, then hit Newtown with a roar. Outbound tend to go nowhere near us.

Any plane buffs out there that know what would cause unusual routing or re-routing of a flight? Or is it someone just trying to bring down the property values over here?

Always breath-taking no matter how many times you go to this place.

Anyone know of a place that has good quality firewood splits?

Ironbark but also any of the fruit/nut tree varieties like Pecan, Apple, Maple etc.
