Anyone know what happened? I was driving on the motorway a few hours ago and passed hyperdome and there were SO many police cars there.

Will be held near the Upper Coomera Library.

Kinda long drive from where I am. If not the case then would have wasted time and precious diesel 😄

Tried ringing them but no answer. Cheers !

I visited the GC on holiday late 2019, and got some awesome meat on chips just off the motorway. Big portions and they let you pour your own sauce. It was near one of the theme parks (possibly Dreamworld), and potentially near a row of shops with a subway.

I'm currently in the GC on holiday again and would really like to visit again if it's still around. I know it's quite vague, but I'm hoping a local may know or remember something. Thanks in advance for anything.

Anyone have recommendations for removalists who have moved furniture and white goods into an apartment at the Southport Centrals Towers? Cheers

To the lady who I was chatting with on the bridge for half an hour this afternoon… thanks for the non-losable stubbie cubby !! It went straight to the pool room.

And if you’re on here … keen on a drink before you go ? 😀

I was out with my near 5 year old son this afternoon at Coomera Westfield. We've watched Goat recently so he's super into basketball at moment. There was a young man playing at the basketball court. My son walked over to watch closer, when the young man invited him over to play.

He played with, encouraged and praised my son, and went so far to ask my permission to put my son on his shoulders so he could get a goal. He missed but oh well.

Thank you for showing kindness to my son. If you happen to see this, you really made my son's day and he's been raving about you since, and keeps wanting to see the pictures I took. You should be proud. My son mentioned to me after "that boy was really kind to me". Again, thank you.

I found this at my local gym on the wall today.

Last night I was in Pac Fair and watched a teenage eshay spit his coconut water all over the glass of the escalator outside Myer. Then I watched a grown man spit on the undercover pedestrian crossing in the car park while I was leaving. Then I watched a video this morning of a kid spit on a busker in Surfers. Every morning I drive to work and am witness to so many people spitting.

What’s up with that?

Can anyone recommend a good skin cancer check up place on the gold coast with no creepy men or incompetent doctors lol. Thx

One of my favourite stores in Brisbane is Sam Coco’s or Coco’s in Annerley and they have a massive range of international products and domestic products for cheap. I’m particularly interested in finding somewhere that has a similar range of cheap BBQ meat, predominantly picanhas/ rump caps. I recently moved to GC and would love to find somewhere similar. Cheers

Hi everyone,

Just seeking out the reviews for ADHD assessments and what’s involved from Dr Robert Seaton on the Gold Coast.

Hey everyone, I’m researching training habits among tradies for a project I’m working on. I’d like to understand what people actually do around physical work.

A few things I’m curious about:

• What’s your trade, and what are you currently training towards?
• Last week, how many sessions did you plan to do, and how many actually happened?
• What worked well or got in the way? Have you tried anything to make training fit better?
• Do you currently use a program, app or coach? What made you choose it, and is it free or paid?

No need to answer everything—even one example from your own experience would help.

Cheers, appreciate your time.

Ritchie Benaud this morning in Surfers! 😂

We're a family of 6 with young kids who need to stay on the Gold Coast for 3 or 4 nights.

Most hotels assume that you'll be outside or at the beach most of the time, but this weather is making it increasingly likely we'll be getting rain and wind most of the time.

I'm fine with that, provided the hotel is really well equipped inside with heated pools, spas, activities for the kids at or very close to the hotel, very comfortable and spacious rooms in case we're spending more time in the room.

Can anyone recommend a hotel that's like this? Happy to spend more for the right stay.

Billionaire-backed Spotlight Property Group has snapped up a Coomera site next to Dreamworld with plans to build a major retail complex, betting on the theme park's revival.

The Qld government sparked a boost in the park's value when it stepped in to approve Coast Entertainment's masterplan for its 55ha Coomera landholding surrounding Dreamworld and WhiteWater World.

Spotlight is led by billionaire co-founder and chairman Morry Fraid and his nephew, executive deputy chairman Zac Fried and they've already pushed into Qld with a Sunshine Coast development.

Spotlight has now picked up the high-profile 2.78ha site beside Dreamworld from privately-owned Gordon Corp in an off-market transaction negotiated by Colliers' Marlon Crawford for $30M.

The company will build on the two-lot holding at Lot 170 and Lot 171 Dreamworld Parkway, Coomera. Spanning about 28000 sqm, the property fronts the Pacific Motorway and is positioned in one of the Gold Coast's highest-profile destinations. Spotlight will build a retail centre, with the broader holding also presenting potential for complementary retail and large-format showrooms.

Mr Fried said the Coomera site was an exciting opportunity to build a retail centre in a location with strong exposure to both local customers and visitors. 'The Gold Coast's visitor economy and the continued growth of Qld make Coomera an exciting location for retail', he said.

Gordon Corp owner Tim Gordon said the sale followed consideration of alternative options for the property, including subdivision. 'SPG presented a compelling opportunity to sell the holding to a genuine occupier with the vision and capacity to realise its potential. We're pleased to see the property move into the hands of a business that can make the most of its scale and location'.

Mr Crawford said the transaction highlighted demand for well-located land that could accommodate business operations while delivering strong customer visibility. 'We've seen strong appetite for well-located sites with this kind of scale and opportunities with this profile are increasingly rare' he said.

Spotlight's real estate holdings include flagship properties at Bennetts Green, South Melbourne, Frankston Homemaker Centre, Carnegie, Christchurch and Hervey Bay.

I know this is a long shot but I hurt my back in 2019 and my mum took me to a very ‘woo woo’ style chiropractor(?) somewhere around Burleigh. He worked miracles and helped me so much. Mum’s since passed away and I can’t remember his name but my back is bothering me again something shocking so I’d be so grateful if anyone had any idea who I’m talking about?

He was old and short with a beard, any help much appreciated!

ETA: he was working from a shed at his home and used acupuncture as well

ETA2: I don’t think this guy was a traditional chiropractor that’s just the best word I could use to describe him. More of a naturopath/masseuse maybe?

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

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?

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

Family visiting from ireland! Hoping to take her around out and about, any suggestions 28F!

Thank you!
