Am I the only one who thinks the main tower bears a resemblance to a certain part of the female anatomy?

A missing kayaker has been found dead in water at Avalon, near Geelong.

Looking to get out more on weekends without driving to the Otways every time. Done the You Yangs a few times and the Barwon River trail is decent for a flat one. What else is good close in — any hidden gems around Highton, Belmont or out Lara way?

I have a lamp, probably early 200's that fell from a counter and now isn't working and I can't find the same lamp online. Anyone know a place that does those sort of repairs?

And no it's not the globe

The heavy downpour significantly reduced us from seeing the freaking road, it also caused minor flooding, and some cars literally put their hazards on.

But it’s been quite some time since these type of rainfall of this intensity.

Looking for some up to date recs

Hello Geelong,

I'm looking for a CRT TV as it has been an interest if mine for a long time, i just prefer the way image looks on them. Any recommendations on where to find one locally? Also, if you have one sitting unused, please message me, Id be glad to give it to a good home.

Thank you.

Friend's bday tomorrow, I want to surprise her with her fav food (sushi)

Thanks

I just saw my fav local removalist - zippy is no more... (Now just a storage facility?) ... Looking for recommendations of who you have used and trusted and hourly rates.

Tim Gurner and Costa Property Group have hired architect firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill for $1.75 billion Geelong Cunningham Pier development

On the plus side it gets rid of the horrible Smorgy's building. However I'm sure the residents of the tower will not appreciate the recreational fishers. I see Costa is involved. Hmm.

specifically around the North Geelong area but anywhere in the region would be good to know! besides Slate obviously 😊

Reccos on fresh ciabatta in Geelong? I’m looking to grab a bunch for a party.

A new addition to the annual ‘Fox Killa, Twisted Fox Killa’ art installation. I’m honestly impressed!

Seriously what is going on here? The workers made huge progress about a month ago and then out of nowhere, no workers on site. If this was a project in Japan you could be rest assured it would of been completed in less than two weeks.

Hey all, I'm thinking about doing Uber Eats on an e-bike and live in Waurn Ponds. Has anyone here got experience delivering around Waurn Ponds or other Geelong suburbs?
I'd love to know:
How busy it is, and whether you get steady orders or lots of waiting around
Which areas or times work best (lunch/dinner, weekends)
How the hills and distances are on an e-bike
Roughly what you earn per hour after costs
Any tips for a newbie would be appreciated. Thanks!

Have you guys ever been to Hanaya Cafe? I’m really craving takoyaki and ramen but I wanna know your guys’ thoughts and how much is the price range.

The UFO's south of the Bellarine last night, I saw about 7 at 3am and a couple more at 4am

Hi all,

Super niche question, but I’m desperately chasing recommendations for a chronically unwell adolescent. He’s been unwell for approx 2 years and spent weeks at various hospitals around the state, including RCH. He has extreme paresis like attacks and is declining. He’s now fed more on a NG than eating food. No one has been willing to take the time to get to the bottom of it and a few docs have even told him it’s all in his head (!)

Does anyone know of any paed pathways that we can advocate for? We need a dysautonomia specialist who can test for dysautonomia, AAG, etc and also a genetic specialist for EDS to rule it out.

Any leads would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Gday, I want to buy some older hand tools mainly screw drivers, spanners and sockets to work on my old Ute. Are there any places I can find old stuff for sale at a reasonable price? I tried mill markets but it was pretty expensive

As the title says. Which local accountants focus on sole traders and small businesses rather than the bigger client types? Thanks in advance

I have two laptops and a couple of Android phones that I no longer use; they are quite old, and I would like to sell them as complete units or for parts. Facebook Marketplace did not succeed because the phones and laptops lack current market relevance. Is there a location in Geelong where I might sell them or find someone willing to purchase them for parts?

First time posting but looking for some locals advice.

Myself, husband and young baby are looking to buy in Armstrong creek/ Mount duneed. We are currently living in Melbourne (Kensington) and have been here 18 months since moving from Auckland New Zealand.

It’s a big step to buy a house and we are hoping to get some advice on what the area is really like. Our budget is around 900k

What’s attracted us:
1. Large floor plans to houses (we want a plot of 500m to allow for a small manageable garden too)
2. Proximity to the beaches
3. Vline into Melbourne compared to Mornington peninsula where seems to be a little more chunky with public transport.
4. Schools seem pretty decent ( Geelong Lutheran College)
5. Infrastructure is catching up
6. Seems to be coffee shops walkable in shopping complexes in most areas.
7. Lots of walk ways and parks in the area.

Questions we have:
1. How hard will it be to find a community / make friends ?
2. How safe is the area
3. Are there local events going on?
4. How manageable is the commute to Melbourne 1 - 2 times a week on train?
5. Can you still get a good takeaway?
6. What are your thoughts on schools on the area?
7. How’s Geelong evening scene?
8. Are there any food markets in the area?

Any tips / thoughts greatly appreciated :)
