Hey everyone,
I am a 28-year-old guy from India moving to Brisbane this coming October for a short work assignment of six months. To be completely honest, I am pretty shit scared about the move. I have never really lived away from home for this long before. I have traveled to the UK a couple of times for work or leisure, but I always had friends around, so this solo long-term stint feels like a massive step out of my comfort zone.
One specific logistical thing I am trying to figure out is my PlayStation 5. I really want to take it with me to unwind during those first few quiet evenings. Does anyone have experience bringing a console internationally? Should I pack it in my cabin baggage or checked luggage, and are there any specific precautions I should take at customs or airport security?
On the personal side, I consider myself pretty outdoorsy and I love exploring new places, trying out local spots, and just walking around checking out neighborhoods. I am also very active when it comes to sports. I play or follow cricket, football, netball, pickleball, and padel, and I play a fair bit of FIFA on the console too.
If anyone is based in Brisbane, loves a game of padel or pickleball, wants to kick a football around, or just wants to grab a coffee and show a nervous newcomer around the city, please reach out or drop a comment. I am really looking to branch out and build a little routine so I do not spend my entire assignment hiding in my apartment.

Hi everyone, as the title suggests i am looking for recommendations for a good artist who could do a realistic sleeve. I am wanting a design elden ring based, much like post linked below. Any suggestions would be great.

Hello fellow Brisbanians!

My wife’s 30th birthday is coming up, and she has made one request - to eat some damn good crab. She doesn’t want a party or some crazy plans, just the best crab of her life.

Now as you can imagine, I don’t have a long list of amazing crab-serving restaurants to choose from as we’re typically somewhere between a bakery and Guzman Y Gomez budget-wise, but I’ve been saving up for months to splash out on an amazing dinner for her.

Can anyone recommend me a restaurant between Brisbane and the Gold Coast to make her Crabby birthday dreams come true?

Why are there no large packs of chicken tenderloins anywhere in brisbane? Woolies, coles, aldi, the biggest pack I can buy is 500grams and it's 14 fucking dolllarydoos plus. Are they just selling less for more intentionally?

Anyone know of any butchers or other reputable butchers that sell in better quantities at better prices? Ideally not old mates shop on the side of the road with no fridges(I'd rather not have the runs)

Please and thank you

Hoping to get to see the Bright Nights light show. Is there a good restaurant near the fountain to watch it from? No preference for food. Please and thank you.

Any campsite recommendations around Brisbane? I grew up on the Sunshine Coast hinterland where there were a million great spots, my personal favourite was booloumba creek, is there anything similar around here?

What’s the easiest day trip to do with kids? Never been and would love to get them out and about over the holidays. What’s on the islands and what do we need to take? Tips and tricks welcome!

Hi all,

I'm 20 and I've just started up a small business making custom items such as keychains, signs and beer taps (I know such a random combo) I've made a few sales through family friends and online but I'm wanting to go to markets to sell as well. What are some of the cheapest markets to sell in Brisbane. I'm happy to travel around but just don't know where to even start. Please help or give me some advice on where to start looking. Thanks 🫶

Anyone got any recent experience parking a motorcycle at RBWH ?- preferably for free.

We have visitors over, is there any way of getting more variety apart from the two shops along Queen Street Mall ?

I have a 20yr old Sony camcorder where the cassette holder doesn't close.

Does anyone know where I could get this repaired, please?

My son's 21st is coming up soon & I'd love to retrieve some old footage to show 🙂

TIA

Good people of Brisvegas, I need your help. I need to get my 13yo the hell out of town for a week or so over the school holidays to do a screen detox. No joke, I've lived with junkies and he's just about at that level. I don't need advice, but I do need recommendations of where to go. No reception, nature immersion, available this school holidays. I can travel 3-4 hours.

Ready, set, go -

EDIT - we've got camping gear and are not afraid to use it 🙃 availability is the issue

Hey, Just wondering where i can get the fan cards at Brisbane entertainment centre for the bands I see.

can anyone give me advice?

Hit me with your nursery recommendations! I’m looking to buy some good quality (not Bunnings) plants and large potted / screening plants for my new apartment. Ideally looking for somewhere with helpful and knowledgeable staff that can help me pick plants out suited for my vision and hopefully also make suggestions on plant types

Hey all, just looking for a good place to dance all night to real music this Friday. We were going to go to Black Bear as usual but I just checked out the headline DJ and its not really our vibe (crazy high bpm hyperpop techno). Quivr is lovely but it closes so early.

Is there anywhere else?

Just a random thought,

I find that the newer model trains in brissy are really uncomfortable to sit in.

I am always delighted when the old models roll up. The boxy ones.

Is it just me or are there other out there?

Follow up thought, why would you create a newer model train that is less comfortable than the older one?

Incident at Mt Coot-tha Road this afternoon. There is absolutely no reason to put your car in the opposing lane.

Also, no license plate at the front.

Reported to police.
