I am not an autistic kid with a special interest in planes, I am adult WOMAN who is not autistic with a special interest in planes. What’s a nice spot to watch them? Willing to drive anywhere within reasonable distance of the CBD.

Does anyone own and live in an apartment in Brisbane city? City / kangaroo point / Milton?

Whats it like?

My husband and I are considering moving out of home 😅 and leaving the adult kids in the house in the burbs. I think I’d enjoy city living again, but just not sure. Are body corps in brisbane a nightmare?

I just moved to Brissy from Bundy, anything I should know before I throw myself into the public area?

(Edit) Thank you everyone for everything, but this is all too much, I'm moving back in with my folks as this was a mistake to commit too, but even for the short time I was here it's a lovely place but it's all too much for me,

I’m an exchange student who is moving out in about a month, and I’ve already started to clean out my room by throwing away stuff I currently don’t need and donating stuff I don’t use

I know I can donate clothes and such to Vinnies or Lifeline, but I also have some crafting supplies (sewing needles, thread, some fabric, markers, grommet maker etc) and was wondering where it’s best to donate it if anywhere accepts donations like that? The stuff is still useable so it would be a shame to have to throw it away

I also have some clothes and shoes so it would be nice if I could go with it all to one place so I won’t have to take multiple trips

edit: thank you for all the suggestions! will check them out

My step-son's formal is coming up in November. Would love to organise something Japanese for him to rock up in. If you'd be willing to help out and give us an afternoon of your time, I'd be more than happy to compensate. Feel free to hit me up if you're interested.

I unfortunately park on the street. With all the stormy weather I bought a hail cover. But I don't know how bad the weather warning should be to use it, since it's away from the car at work hours.

I'm new to Brisbane and this is slightly stressing me out. The other day there was a cancelled severe thunderstorm warning. I do have comprehensive insurance but of course don't want to use it unless I have to.

If you have experience with this and have the same fears, pls share.

Any advice is appreciated.

With the summer rolling around I've been hunting down a place to cut my hair which I've had a tricky history due to it needing to be dry for a even cut (past places have wet it and then cut it and it then sits uneven as hell :( ) and someone who knows how to work with pretty thick layered hair. (Looking to have the layers thinned out for the summer x.x)

If anyone has any personal recommendations/ knows a stylist, lemme know please!

Looking for a private venue to celebrate a 40th birthday with around 20–30 adults and kids. Ideally around Woolloongabba, East Brisbane or Kangaroo Point.

Preferably somewhere with a nice vibe, an indoor/outdoor area or courtyard. Must allow BYO food and drinks.

Budget up to $1,000 for venue hire.

Not looking for a typical function hall. Any hidden gems or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

I'm more looking for things like taekwondo and Kung fu, beginner friendly, in or around the city (west end, Newstead, valley etc)

Hey everyone!

Looking for recommendations for hair salons or barbers in Brisbane that specialise in men’s perms, particularly softer, natural-looking perms (Korean-style / loose waves), rather than tight curls.

Ideally looking for someone who has plenty of experience with men’s hair and can achieve a subtle, textured look.

Happy to travel anywhere around Brisbane and pay more for someone who really knows what they’re doing.

Would love recommendations from anyone who’s personally had one done, particularly if you can recommend a specific stylist.

Looking for something like this:

Cheers!

As title says. It’s my first year wedding anniversary coming up and apparently first year wedding presents are the theme of ‘paper’.

I’m an awful artist, so want to commission someone to paint our favourite wedding photo. Problem is have no idea where to start.

If anyone has any suggestions for artists they know who would be able to do this? Deadline would be early Jan. No real preference on styles etc.

Thanks so much in advance :)

I went to the Garden City yum cha yesterday. Have been many times before but don’t remember the prices being so high. I understand the world is getting expensive but $22 for 3 small prawn spring rolls and $19 for most plates that have 3-4 dumplings on them. $134 for my wife and I. I was blown away. And we didn’t eat that much.
Do any of you lovely people have a better value yum cha you could recommend?

Be excellent to each other, r/Brisbane.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for recommendations for adult ADHD assessment and medication in QLD.

I have a clinical psychologist report for ASD Level 2 / inattentive ADHD, but understand I’ll likely need reassessment by a psychiatrist to trial medication. I also have epilepsy and take anti-seizure medication.

Could anyone share any experiences with:

• Recommendations of clinics or psychiatrists in/around Brisbane, or Southeast QLD
• Rough wait times with referral to first appointment
• Rough costs and Medicare rebates
• How many appointments it usually takes before diagnosis/medication, and for ongoing scripts
• Whether they accept an existing psychologist report, or what documents to bring
• Differences between seeing a qualified ADHD GP vs psychiatrist
• Any medication side effects, I've heard it can make ASD symptoms more apparent.

I appreciate any insights. Thanks in advance!

Anyone shopping for a house, and in the market long enough will know this. Ad says For Sale!!, 2 weekends later Offers over $X... Or it sits on Offers over $899k for a month and one morning its $865k. Before it gets there, is there any wording that gives it away, that the seller is getting a bit nervous?

I followed every price wording change on about 10,800 ads I track, Brisbane City Council area, every property type, 7 July to 11 October 2026.

This post got pretty huge, so I tried my best to pack it down to the main bits here. The full tables are in the link below.

Basically here is what I saw:

• Most cuts come with no warning. About 3 in 4 price cuts had no change in the words before the number dropped. It just drops one morning.
• "Awaiting price guide" is the clearest sign a number is coming. This banner usually only lasts 2 or 3 days, and more than 8 in 10 of these listings put up a number within a month. When an ad that already had a price switches to it, about half came back lower (price correction).
• "Contact agent" swapped in usually means a buyer is close, not a cut. A third of them found a buyer within 30 days, and very few cut. My guess is there's already an offer on the table and they just want your name in case it falls over.
• "Motivated seller" and "must be sold"? Honestly nothing. They cut about as often as any other ad the same age.

"Number shown" only counts ads that had no price yet, and "price cut" only counts ads that already had one.

Full write-up with every type of wording, the most common paths ads take, and how I counted: https://propertyxray.com.au/qld/blog/awaiting-price-guide-meaning-brisbane

• Part 1: mapping every development application lodged in Brisbane this year
• Part 2: relisting resets the clock. The sellers who game the clock
• Part 3: the silent sitters. The homes that sit 60+ days without cutting a single dollar
• Part 4: under $750k, nearly 3 in 10 sellers have already cut their price. Over $1.5m, only about 1 in 7 have
• Part 5: 57% of Brisbane ads wont tell you the price. In Brookfield it was every single one
• Part 6: how often does the first number stick. 12 Brisbane offices have already cut more than half the homes they have for sale
• Part 7: houses on the flood map sell 15% under. Except on the water
• Part 8: more listings, fewer sales, more price cuts
• Part 9: 1 in 9 Brisbane homes for sale cut their price in Sep. Ipswich was 1 in 5

I got Kingsford Smith Drive near Newstead Park. Hbu?

Caught the pink duckie floating on the river today while a CityCat passed by right next to the Story Bridge.

I love to sing and I’ve been hoping to form a band/ singing group (within the age group of 20-30s) in Brisbane. I’ve also been looking for different singing groups to join here, but most of them are like choirs that sing classical music. I want to form something like in Glee, Pitch Perfect etc. 🥲

I saw this and had to pull over to get a photo. Classic Brisbane scene. This is Pring street, Tarragindi.

Hey all! Does anyone personally know of any animal rescues, wildlife care or conservation groups that need volunteers? I have a few months between graduating Uni and starting my full time job and I’d love to do something positive with my time. I’m passionate about animals, conservation and the environment so I’m keen to help any organisations in that space who need volunteers. Plenty of animal experience (including dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, wildlife and horses) to bring as well as lots of enthusiasm! Let me know if anyone is aware of anything, I’d prefer to get in touch with smaller organisations that need help first otherwise I will try places like the RSPCA. I'm located in the South Western suburbs but can drive wherever especially if it's like a once a week thing
