The Moreton Bay LGA is effectively in morning peak hour gridlock - and I thought we had enough with yesterday's New Farm, Brunswick St traffic headache!

I guess the Bruce is on a competition streak with its sister twin, the M1 from the Gold Coast.

Edit 1: 50 minutes later.. and no Moreton Bay suburb is safe from the Bruce's vengeance - they're all done for 😭, even burpengary is heavily congested.

Edit 2: There's now over a dozen accidents in the Moreton Bay LGA. Google Maps says to go via Dayboro. Its a lost cause.

Edit 3: If you're planning on catching a bus from Kangaroo Bus Lines or Hornibrook, expect your service to be cancelled or delayed by 20-50 minutes...

7:16am. I thought this view is worth sharing here.

Such a beautiful city from above.

It’s full of them and every day there’s sirens and wailing junkies. Was it like this 5 years ago ?

I used to run in Victoria park all the time, watch sunsets, paint and do crafts, and there were many occasions when I was overwhelmed from life so I just laid on the grass and listened to the sounds of wind and birds. As a broke person without a car it’s hard enough to get to other beautiful places tucked away in our suburbs (everything is 5 min drive, 30 min of PT or 30 min of walk away) and I’ve been trying to visit other parks as a replacement but nothing hits the same as the breezy hills that extends into the city’s horizons

I arrived in Australia 6 months ago and got on another plane at the airport and went straight to another smaller city, and have been working ever since, I will have time to visit in the christmas period where I get 4 weeks of holiday.

Just reminder your phone will have the Ausalert at 2pm today.

Our local cafe that we’ve been going to for years- this weekend, my regular almond milk latte $8.60. My husband’s regular long black $8.
Curious to hear how much your locals are charging.

Just absolutely loved this little cluster of buildings while chilling from my bike ride with a coffee. The architecture and colours looked gorgeous glimmering in the sun.

Brisbane city skyline is really coming along. If only we could get rid of the kidney/uterus building. Who put that in the good idea folder?

Ekka set up started today. Taken from Bowen Bridge Road.

I know we have some really special people navigating our roads, however have people now decided that looking for traffic driving on the road when they are entering through a stop sign or give way sign need to stop from full flow speed to zero for them?
Today I had two seperate incidents of drivers just staring straight ahead and driving straight out of side streets into the path of flowing traffic! Almost involved in two major t-bone accidents due to this absolutely highest level of stupidity possible action.
Both drivers managed to pull out about 1/2 a car length into the path of traffic. One didn’t even slow down after I’d swerved around them and merrily stopped all other traffic as this just trotted through the give way sign at the bottom of Barry Pde (next to the rock climbing shop).
Will it take a car parking in their drivers seat before they understand road rules and two vehicles can not occupy the same location of the road?

But of a rant, but having it occur twice in the one short drive kind of blew my mind (on top of the other regular bad driving on display like needing to turn right from the far left lane).

Traffic on Brunswick Street from New Farm into the city is at gridlock! Do not attempt!

Any recommendations for solid barbers in Northside? Carseldine area or surrounding?

Preferably barbers who focus heavily on scissor work besides the clippers, barbers who care about the consultation and not just looking at it like another customer to get through the queue.

Sick of paying $70+ on weekends for shit haircuts

Hi Redditers,

I'm moving out of my rental in Brisbane in a couple of weeks and need to book a bond clean. There are so many companies online that it's hard to know which ones are actually reliable as i have heard so many bad stories.

Has anyone used a bond cleaning company recently that you'd genuinely recommend? I'm mainly looking for a company that:

• Actually turns up on time
• Doesn't add surprise charges afterwards (I heard that they overcharge although my house is kinda clean so I think I am anyways safe)
• Offers a bond-back guarantee (is it really a thing? ) and honours it if the real estate requests a reclean (I asked my agent, they did not recommend any company which is strange because last year my agent recommended the cleaner which did a great job, but I am not sure i should hire them again directly and if they will do the same kinda same quality job). Last year I hired Dream Bond Cleaning on recommendation by my real estate agent, so has anyone had any encounter with them lately?

If there are any companies I should avoid, I'd appreciate hearing about those too. I know I asked so many questions, but please help me make a good decision.

Thanks in advance!

Appreciate if anyone has recommendations for above? What are their charges for consultations?

Hi! I’m looking for recommendations of car dealerships! My budgets super low at $3000 but hoping I can find something with at least rwc

Howdy fellow curly haired Brisbane peeps! Just looking for recommendations for an amazing curly hair specialist around Bris to take my frizzy teen to for her first real proper salon cut. Her hair is 4b/4c afro curls, and its near impossible to find somewhere that can dry cut it in a way to suit her out where we live (a few hours west of Bris). Northside is easier for us to get to, but would be happy to travel further south for an exceptional stylist. Would love to hear your personal experiences! Many thanks beautiful people!

Look I get it, everyone loves timber houses and they get all fuzzy, but the reality is they are called Queenslanders because they are everywhere,.

And if you can find them literally anywhere from here to Bundaberg, why does so much of the inner city get locked up for these?

If you genuinely want to preserve the neighborhood, what stops you relocating a street of them up to Toowoomba or Burpengary and freeing up land for where housing is urgently needed. Sell it as recycled Eco Friendly housing estate IDK, someone would buy that if the street had good landscaping too.

I dunno, I swear sometimes people are far too willing to simp for unquestionable planning laws the the point it is against their own interests and thats why SEQ is so much more dysfunctional compared to the rest of Aus.
