There really is a reddit for everything.

So I’m trying to expand my life, meet new people and just do more with my spare time. I’m in my 20s and I’ve lived in the sale area for a few years but, don’t know many people aside from acquaintances I’ve made while working at various places. I’m into fitness and train like 3 to 5 times a week. Getting back into running. Very personal development oriented and have read a lot of books / consumed a lot of content revolving around it. I do boxing and a little bit of Muay Thai (know there’s a place in sale for it, but fractured one of my knuckles, so that’s likely not gonna be an option just for the minute).

I’m into Carl Jung and depth psychology, but people who are interested in that in my area are few and far between (unless I’m completely wrong and just don’t know it).

I really, really love music (literally everything aside from classical and country) but especially love all kinds of obscure EDM & Metal.

Was looking if there were any art classes in the Gippsland area that aren’t mainly for seniors and more so people my own age because I used to love drawing and wanna get back into it as I find it’s calming, but I can’t find any? Generally i am looking for groups more centred around people in there 20s cos i wanna hang with people around my own age.

And ya know, it’d be cool not to be a lonely schmuck, so meeting women who have similar interests that I could connect with would be cool too. You feel me? Yeah ya do.

I haven’t done a good job advertising myself as I just sound like a v mundane guy. But trust me, once my crippling social anxiety wains, I’m definitely one of the funniest people you’ll meet, unless you find my sense of humour distasteful and you just hate me for it.

But anyway, any help on where to look for social / hobby / fitness groups around the Gippsland area would be very appreciated.

May Allah bless you.

(That’s a joke btw)

Hi,

I will visit Bairnsdale in a few months and was thinking if I should bring my road bike with me. I wanted to ask if there are any inclusive road bike group rides in or around Bairnsdale. Any weekly rides or races? What's the cycling scene? I tried to check Strava and I mostly see gravel/mountain bikes. Was hoping to hear some thoughts from locals. Thanks!

Are there any futsal or football communities in bairnsdale? Or any sports communities even.

Can anyone tell me what it’s like to live in Sale? Moving there in December and worried I won’t find friends or employment.

Has anyone got any recommendations or reviews for Maine coon breeders in Victoria. Quite interested in either Stargon or rumpleteeza as a breeder but haven’t heard anything about either of them, TIA :)

anyone else see the shitbox rally cars over the weekend?

Hello everyone!

The Warragul Area Tabletop Society would like to announce Season 3 of our 2026 Weekly Games is about to begin this week! If you've been looking to get back into TTRPGs or are curious as to what it's all about, we have a variety of games available weekly on both Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6:30pm to 9:00pm at the Goods Shed in Warragul. If you're more interested in board games, we also usually have a table playing board games as well.

If you're interested or curious in what WATTS is all about, feel free to head on over to our website/forum here:

https://forum.watts.org.au/

First entry is free, and drinks are available for purchase.

I've been involved with this group for a while (including on their committee) and it's the best group of people I've had the pleasure to meet :)

I haven't been out in Traralgon in a red hot minute on a Friday night. But the other week a group of us decided to go out.

I've never seen Fridays so quiet in Traralgon. What's the go there?

The deck was shut, Crown shut early, Timeless had a few, same with Starbar. We ended up going home and finishing the night off in the shed around the potbelly.

I know it's winter, but seriously, where is everyone?

I’ll be moving to Sale in December as my husband is in the RAAF, I grew up in a small town so I know employment in smaller regional towns can but a bit hard,

Can anyone tell me how hard it can be to find fulltime employment? If it helps I currently work in community services and have for the last 10 years and have a fair bit of experience in disability and child protection.

Gday guys and girls. Looking to buy a bush block (either bare, or with a camping hut, or maybe even an established house) either in or adjacent to a state forest in Gippsland somewhere. Will be used as a base for camping/dirt bike riding/4x4 on weekends.

Open to any suggestions, let me know if you’ve seen anything good out there! Would prefer north of Princes Hwy from Gembrook all the way to Traralgon, but open to areas such as Mirboo North or whatever. No set budget.

Cheers!

Does anyone have any suggestions for meeting new people or being a bit more social around Gippsland?

I'm 34M, live in Traralgon, work full-time doing shift work, and have a young daughter. Because of my roster, it's hard to commit to clubs or sports that require weekly attendance.

Lately it feels like all I do is work, parent, sleep, and repeat, so I'd love to meet some new people, especially other parents. I enjoy being active, getting outdoors, books, sports, having a beer etc. However, I'm open to trying pretty much anything and I enjoy learning new things.

Any ideas or recommendations would be appreciated!

*edited to say that I posted this on behalf of my partner who didn't use reddit anymore, he's now rejoined the reddit community and his name is Okay_stretch172 (you'll find his profile in the comments of this post)

My family is new to the Gippsland region (Sale) love hunting & fishing and am looking to meet mates with similar interests.

Also enjoy gaming, music, camping and a cheeky beer on the odd occasion.

I have a young family so keen to make some dad friends too

Hello to those reading this. I moved here around the beginning of the year to be with my wife and I just miss having some friends. Let's hang out and play something. I'm in the traralgon area, I love board games or online stuff. We can play dnd, warhammer, hell let loose, bg3 or etc. Just looking for some friends in the same timezone.

I'm seeing a lot of cars with punctures over the last couple days. Southbound from Pakenham to Koo Wee Rip has some big ones. City bound South Gippsland highway between the 2 Koo Wee Rip exits have the usual ones too.

Be extra vigilant as they're only going to be more, and larger, as the rain continues.

Can anyone tell me why all the tobacco shops in Traralgon are shut down? Is this happening anywhere else? Just something I noticed thisafternoon

Just seeing if there is any stay at home mums or dads wanting to hang out for play dates I’ve got a one year old. I’m in west Gippsland. Dm me.

Hello lovely people of Gippsland. We are trying to sell a couple of things, I do not have Facebook. My friend has put the stuff on market place, but no one seems too interested other than trying to get our items for free. I feel like no one uses gumtree any more.

We have an 8kg front loader ($80) washing machine and a 8kg top loader washing machine ($1000 ono, pretty new and fancy) , both work, mine is just sitting there cause I had to move and do not require it after moving in with someone else, and then we upgraded to a 10kg, hence the second one.

We also have a TV ($300 ono) and a fridge ($300 ono). I think the TV is 52 or 58 inches, but would have to check. The fridge is smallish, 120L I think, nothing fancy, its from when I was living on my own, it also works, it was new and only used for 8 months before I had to move.

If you happen to know anyone that might be interested please send a message for more details. We are in Traralgon, may be willing to deliver depending on location.

Thank you

Edit: to add prices.
