A few days ago, I went to buy lunch. After browsing around for a while, I decided to buy sushi. As I was choosing which flavor to get, I heard a familiar melody playing in the store.

I heard old Taiwanese song.

Sushi restaurant staff, If you remember an Asian guy with a mullet, standing there grinning like an idiot, that's me.

Thank you to the person who selected the music playlist; it made me feel like I was back home.

Hi Newcastle,

I'm hoping to find a last minute muso for a birthday party on Saturday 24th October.

I'm having a gathering at home, and would love if I could find someone to come and play for an hour or so.

Open to all genres, I don't have room for a band though, so a solo or duo is probably best.

Any leads?

Please DM me with rates and some info.

Thanks.

Specifically looking for guajillo, ancho, and chillies de arbol so I can make birria tacos.

Thanks!

Any chance anybody has photos of the ceiling tiles with all the movies across it all? I vaguely remember Jaws and Crocodile Dundee. I don’t use social media so can’t speak with Lost Newcastle.

Bonus points if anybody has photos of a similar ceiling at the Regent street fish and chip shop from back in the day.

Hey guys!! Just plugging my event over here for anyone who’s interested in art/free activities on Halloween weekend.

November the 1st is the final day of my artist collectives group show, Australian Gothic, and we wanted to put on a Halloween event to go out with a bang.

Lots of fun activities to get amongst, a perf excuse to put on silly outfits and dance to live music up at a LIGHTHOUSE!!

Here’s the schedule and fb event link for details :))

Hii,
I’m coming from nz to stay with my cousin in Newcastle for a week, and looking to find some of the best things to do. It would have to be easy to do with public transport (staying in Belmont most likely) and relatively safe, as I’ll most likely be female solo. Family’s too busy to take me around which I understand. I want to relax so best beach’s to chill, places to wonder and best food recommendations!
Also how’s public transport in terms of reliability and safety? And the train to Sydney and any tips would be appreciated :)

Halloween is here a week early tomorrow at the Croatian Club! Awesome All ages welcome festival with a Food Truck and Decorations, with a costume contest for those who want to dress up and get in the spirit!

Featuring: Nathan Bell's band Machine Gun Theatre, Angel V Animal, Poisoned Cherry, Disco, Dead Pennies Zipper Clone, CitizenFire, S.M.D, Filthy E & The Clean Teens and I Hate People and more!

Tickets $10 available via the link below

You dont wanna miss this one!!

I’m curious if anyone has ever been to King Street Private Hospital in Newcastle? What was your experience like? Are the staff nice and professional? I’d really like an honest review in any capacity. I’m really nervous about going to hospital.

Update: thank you for your replies and feedback, this is putting my mind at ease a bit.

Am moving from newie to east maitland in the next month and i don't really want to do all the work myself. My partner is deadset against a packing service but is ok with a removalist but im kind of hoping to find a packaged deal that doesn't cost too much to convince him to agree to it.

Anyone have any good experiences or recs?

Best place for beer jugs in broadmeadow/Hamilton? Not quite sure if all pubs do them or not. Any good recommendations?

Anyone got any experience with Hope Brewery’s beer click and collect?

Been absolutely plastered with ads on insta and Facebook for their specials lately and I finally caved and ordered one of their 50/50 ipa cases to indulge in this weekend.

However it’s now 1pm on Friday and I haven’t heard anything. Order still says waiting to be packed. It’s been 3 days.

Kind of expected I would be able to pick it up next day but here we are.

It’s long gone now but was on a coal bucket on the corner of Parry St and Stewart Ave. Thanks in advance.

Looking for anyone who knows an iMile delivery driver or where their parcels are held in Newy? It’s been saying out for delivery for ages and ofc iMile’s customer service is terrible.

Have custom decorations really needed for this weekend and I’d love to see if i can problem solve 🙏

Hey everyone, my friends and I are wondering what we can do for Halloween as a group.

We weren't invited to any parties, we can't host our own because none of our parents will let us, and we can't go out for drinks or anything because we aren't all 18. We also don't want to go trick or treating because we've done that a million times before and feel like we are getting to old.

Is there anyone in a similar situation with good ideas? Please let me know below.

Has anyone here had PRP injections (for tendon tear)? If so, where, and how much did it cost?

Anyone know why the power is out in half of Adamstown?

Lucky my ribs in the slow cooker were done or I'd be up there fixing it myself 👺

Hope to see you all down at The Station on Saturday! Keen as.

I would like to go to the CBD on my e-bike and need somewhere secure to leave it for several hours. Street racks feel risky for bikes worth this much.

Does anyone know a bike cage, locked parking or a shop that minds bikes (till late)? Failing that, if you have a garage or locked yard nearby, I’ll pay cash to store it for a few hours

I want to gift experiences rather than physical items for friends and family. What are some local ideas (Newcastle and hunter) for family experiences? (Kids are in ages 4-8)
Thank you!

Currently with genesis but want somewhere closer and these two are nearest. Anyone have good/bad experiences with either of these? I'm pretty much just using the equipment and don't really do classes as yet. I'm in fletcher and travelling to Warners bay genesis and over it. Snap Jesmond is about as far as I'd ideally like to go

Per title , cheers

The cost doesn’t get added to your electricity bill - it’s so others can see you, even if you think you can see fine.

i mean directly, not via doordash etc. cheers for the info!

Saw a white range with pink number plates RROSEE on Lambton road 4:10 today almost plot down a gray Mazda, didn’t know how to use a blinker acted very erratic on the road! Pathetic and embarrassing
