Local Question Hike recommendations

0 Upvotes

I’m going to be joining the Griffith Gold Coast campus come February. Does anybody have any gear recommendations, general advice or trail recommendations? I’ve lived around and hiked the Rockies my whole life, everything that can harm you here is an animal more than double your size or the weather. Is there anything I should invest in or look into that I wouldn’t already have that would be worth getting before moving?

Commute GC to BNE

6 Upvotes

Hi All. I’m considering a role, however it will require me to be in the office twice a week in Brisbane, and WFH the rest. Interested to hear others thoughts on this:
1. My cousin lives in Brisbane city, so I’d travel up on Monday, overnight at their place, work on Tuesday and then travel back down.
2. I don’t want to leave my car overnight at Varsity Lakes Station (I don’t think my insurer would like that either).
3. There is a bus from The Pines at Elanora to Varsity Lakes Station, so I think I’d have to catch that to and from the station early Monday morning and again on Tuesday avo.
Does anyone catch a bus and train combo to get to Brisbane?
I thought about the M1 and it just seems like I’d lose my sanity and licence.
Appreciate your thoughts, thank you 😊

Anyone selling or have a spare commercial van for sale that you’re no longer using or upgrading?

Hey guys! Anyone selling or have a spare commercial van for sale that you’re no longer using or upgrading?

I don't care about aesthetics (dents/scratches are fine), but low kilometres and solid mechanics are a must.

Ready for a quick, hassle-free sale with instant payment for the right vehicle. DM me with details, pics, and price. Cheers! 👍

Best private gynecologist on the Gold Coast?

3 Upvotes

Hi,

I'm looking for a good gynecologist on the Gold Coast who is experienced with fibroid removal. I had a few consults with gynecologist at the public hospital, but after talking to them I don't have much faith or trust in them. They didn't seem to address all my questions, and one of them was rather rude and dismissive.
I need a second opinion and seeking a private gynecologist now. Any good recommendations?

Local Question Have you noticed a recent uptick of people who are just incredibly stressed out?

112 Upvotes

Last week, I had a dying relative in the hospital. On my way back to the Sharks club parking lot with my 11 y/o, some young punk with a mulllet walking in the opposite direction just told me to basically go fuck myself for no reason at all. I stopped, turned around, looked at him with a "what is wrong with you?" look and he turned around, took a step forward as though he wanted to fight me. I just stood there waiting. He turned around and left.

Today, after my relative's funeral, I was walking on the roadside of the awkward entrance of a parking lot because the walkway was too narrow. A guy in a ute aggressively rammed his car onto me and told me to get on the sidewalk. I thought it was a friend of mine, but when I went to say hi, I realised it was some idiot and he just started cursing at me as though I had offended his entire family line. He then drove off a little and stopped to curse me some more. I turned around and stood there and just said, "Mate, are you OK? What's your problem?" and he shut up and just drove off.

If you're either of these people reading this, please relax and stop threatening people out of nowhere. You may be having a shit day but some of us are having an even worse day.

Edit: someone else reported a similar issue at the same place with a similar ute. This guy is a menace to society. I've asked for security cam footage and I'm reporting him to the police

Helensvale station

We have literally had trains closed for almost a month recently and they still can’t be bothered to pick up the literal tip of rubbish lining the station. I don’t think it’s ever been picked up. No excuse for the grubs that chuck it there waiting at the bus stop, but why do they not have any bins there?

Local Question Parking note on cars

22 Upvotes

Edit : my partner mentioned she came home one day last week and he put a witches hat on the street to block a parking spot too.

Constantly receiving notes saying “park in front of your house” on our cars in the morning.

We park in our busy street where we can find a park. Live close to a hospital so street parking gets full, the suspected neighbour has already spoken to us about this before because his daughters spot is on our side of the street apparently and he gets annoyed when we park there. Which so happens to be in front of our house. But forgets they have about 5 cars at their house. 2 on their driveway and 3 in the street

Put the 2 notes back onto their cars this morning before we both left for work
