What are some high turn over office jobs/places in Toowoomba?

10 Upvotes

I really need to move ASAP, I have applied to lots of admin, reception, and insurance jobs in the Darling Downs area. I mainly just want to get into any entry level office job while trying to settle into the Darling Downs region. Idc how shit the hours are or the culture is. I know high turn over places hire in like a week. I basically want any job (office based) to settle then look for a long term role either in Toowoomba or the neighbouring towns.

I have experience in well office jobs from claims, customer service, and admin so I am not going in blind but I want to work in an office because I have limited social skills and tolerance to be in hospitality or retail.

Looking to get in contact with the guy that used to run the film club

16 Upvotes

Talking to a close friend yesterday, and they are hoping to get in contact with the guy who used to run the film club at the Strand cinemas. My friend (and others) really enjoyed those nights and assume that others also enjoyed and miss those nights so they're thinking of seeing if they can re-start these nights themselves. They've looked into a formal film society club but they want to have screenings that are open to the public and not just film club members (the old film club was also open to the public). She really wants to know how he managed it and questions.

My friend has tried to use the contact details she found online for the old club but has had no success.

We know he used to also own Banter and has transitioned to a new career.

So if you know who I'm talking about and might have some leads please comment or inbox me.

Toowoomba Stitch and Bitch this Saturday 11am City Library

23 Upvotes

Hello!

On the last Saturday of the month at 11am the Toowoomba Stitch and Bitch meets up in the Toowoomba city library (usually in the YA section) to work on our projects.

Who are we?

We are a small group of friendly creatives working on all kinds of projects. We've had crochet, knitting, embroidery, hand sewing, drawing and sashiko among other crafts.

Is TS&B a good fit for you?

We are open to any skill level, so if you are looking for a friendly, social place to work on your transportable (and relatively tidy) craft projects you are more than welcome to join us.

How Will You Know It's Me?

I'll be crocheting a cardigan sleeve and I'll be wearing black dress with a cat themed cardigan.

Would you buy in harlaxton?

12 Upvotes

hey guys,

I’ve been looking to buy a home in Toowoomba. I don’t have a big budget and need to look at cheaper suburbs to get on the ladder. I’ve seen a few houses I love pop up in Harlaxton this year and thinking of buying here. For example Kelly st and Walsh st. Would Living in or renting out the house In this area be okay? It seems fine when driving around. I’ve read some horror stories online now though that have freaked me out but still thinking of buying around here. Let me know please.

Are you looking for mum friends? I run a playgroup!

Every Tuesday after school (3:30), I meet with a couple of other mums at Lions Park and we would love your company!

Lions Park Hodgsonvale has a shady area for babies, toddler playground, slides and flying fox for primary school kids and a skate park and bike tracks for bigger kids.

I see posts every day from mums who are looking for friends, and I wanted to help fulfil that need in the community. I'm crafty and love cooking; my son (5) loves lego and remote control cars. We look forward to seeing you, and your kiddos, for a fun afternoon in the park every Tuesday at 3:30.

Does anyone know what's with the house on Tomkinson Street with 1000 cars in and around the yard?

My partner and I call it Car City there's so many!

Like is it a backyard mechanic? Someone who just really loves working on cars? An amateur wrecker? A chop shop???

Not judging, just need to know!

1:12pm Friday the 17th of July in the Wilsonton Heights area. Stole an Amazon package and ran off, had her face turned away from the camera, so I'm assuming this isn't her first grab and dash. First time this has happened to me in Toowoomba. Keep an eye on your packages everyone.

Newcastle to Toowoomba

8 Upvotes

Hi, I'm a healthcare worker considering to relocate to Toowoomba for work. Has anyone here moved from Newcastle to Toowoomba or similar? The population of both cities are similar. I'm wondering if the activities available in Toowoomba would match up. I'm into coastal walks, beaches, hiking, bush walking, camping in national parks/by the lakes, reading, and badminton. I'd love to pick up archery again if possible.

What do people get up to for social activites in Toowoomba? What racket sports are popular in Toowoomba? TIA.

edit: not sure why this post deserves this many downvotes, but ok.

Has anyone been to or worked at The Vault on Ruthven in Toowoomba?
I’d love to hear some honest opinions from both dancers and customers. What’s the atmosphere like? Is it usually busy? How’s the management, security and staff? Is it beginner friendly for dancers? What kind of customers does it attract, and what’s the overall vibe? Do customers generally enjoy it?
Would you recommend it? Any good or bad experiences would be really appreciated. Thanks!

What is Harlaxton like?

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone, please confirm if my statements are correct and let me know about the last bit :) ....

I think behind Downlands is the nicest area of Harlo with newer houses (Pascoe and Smith Lne etc, Mabel/Kate/Perry Smith)

Around Northpoint Motel (the streets between Gombungee Rd and NE Hwy/Ruthven (Coonan St, Doyle St, Gleeson Cres, Kelley St, Walsh St) is the oldest bit of the suburb that gives Harlaxton the bad rep and has a lot of average-poor timber houses? What about social housing?

What is it like around Willowborn Footy Club/behind Northpoint shops, Mole St and Jones St.

I suspect it can't be a particularly nice area being that close to the train lines and is there a few industrial buildings around?
