I have a tray that is likely very ugly to other people but to me I love it and want it restored. My grandmother would care for me when I was sick as a kid and bring me food and drink on this tray and so it has deep sentimental meaning for me. She was my person. Does anyone out there know someone who restores little things like this?

Is gastro or some weird stomach thing going around GC/South East Queensland at the moment?
Day 4/5 of this and it’s really starting to drag me down.
Stomach feels inflamed, irritated and weird nausea feeling.

Hey guys, I have 2x adult movie tickets for Event Cinemas, they expire 31st Oct and cant be used after 5pm Fri or Sat.

First comment gets them.

Hi all! I’m moving interstate and I need to sell my car asap! Any recommendations where I can sell them easily but not lowball me? Thanks

Hi,

I'm looking for recommendations for a Specialist Plastic Surgeon (FRACS) specifically for a blepharoplasty. 'm not looking for general cosmetic surgeons or aesthetic clinics/clinicians for this one.

I'm doing some research but if you’ve had a great experience with a surgeon on the Gold Coast or northern NSW, I would love to hear who you used.

Thanks!

Hey All, fishing on Saturday on the Gold Coast, got a 5am meetup with friends. Any place to park up and sleep in the back of the car Friday night that wouldn’t have drunks tapping on my car window?

Thanks!

How do you even let them get this bad?

In my area there was hail, it's crazy cuz I haven't seen hail in 3 years

Hey guys. 30M here, South Asian. Moved to GC earlier this year. I work as a doctor at GCUH. Looking to find like minded friends of either gender to socialise with. I’m into hiking, long drives, beach outings, escape rooms and trivia nights(suck at pop culture though!). I love cooking so if you want a spicy South Indian meal or some smash burgers, I’m your guy. I’m quite flexible (figuratively), would love to meet people for a drink, outdoorsy things, group activities.

A little background - was working in Sydney for a year before moving here and in the UK for a few years before, did uni in India. I’m free most evenings and weekends.

Feel free to drop a DM if anyone is keen to hangout.

Finally threw the towel in on fighting this insane rental market. Love the coast but the landlords here have completely lost the plot. We are officially packing up and doing the whole removals from australia to UK thing next month before we go entirely broke

Honestly the only part of this entire week that hasn't made me want to scream is the fact that Simpsons Removals came and took all our heavy boxes today so I dont have to look at them in my living room anymore.

Gonna miss the burleigh headland walks so much but my god I will not miss dealing with GC real estate agents.

somebody didn’t secure their load properly tonight and about 40 cars hit an ENTIRE tow bar on the highway, right near Pappas Way exit to Nerang. i think i was the first car who hit it because there was not a soul, but by the time we got the tow vehicle around to tow my car away there was victims everywhere. insane dude, thankfully nobody seemed harmed.

Hey guys, I’m a 26-year-old male living in Ashmore, currently training at Snap Fitness without a PT.
I recently saw some Facebook ads about PCYC offering free fitness plans, and the membership also seems more affordable than Snap Fitness.
Has anyone here trained at PCYC on the Gold Coast? How are the equipment, facilities, and overall gym environment? Are the free fitness plans actually useful?
I’m considering switching from Snap Fitness, so I’d love to hear your experiences and whether you think it’s worth it. Cheers!

I'm on the hunt for a really nice, moist chocolate cake. I recently went to Dssrt and tried the Matilda Cake. I'm not sure why they serve it with vanilla ice cream, as it ruined the texture and overall taste of the chocolate cake. All I want is a simple, gooey chocolate cake. Does anyone have any recommendations? I've been craving one for about two years now. I tried one in Brisbane that was the best I've ever had! Any recommendations on the Gold Coast?

Can someone please tell me about the foam on the beach.

I know the seas have been rough, but why is some of it white and other bits sandy.

Why does some disappear and other bits remain on the waterline

Has anyone heard of or used this bloke or company before please?

Propac Mobile Car Spray service

Edit: I have tried all other search avenues first. Came to Reddit after exhausting other avenues. Trying to determine if this is a legitimate company or not.

Please pm me (if you prefer) if you have any experience using this business. TIA.

First time seeing these in a suburban area. They are encapsulating. I ended up just watching them for a while.

Some background - I grew up in Melbourne and used to holiday in Surfers Paradise in the late 80s, all through the 90s and early 2000s. It was vibrant, touristy - in a fun way, relatively safe.. Cavill used to have this cool feel about it like a mini Hollywood.. So many fun memories! We moved to the Sunshine Coast 9 years ago and only just recently went back for a getaway on the Gold Coast. I was so shocked! When did the change happen? Was it sudden or did the area gradually get worse? Cavill has this awful, run down, dystopian feel. But then a random busy restaurant or bar here and there. We got a tram which was an interesting choice. I just cannot believe how sad it was. I realise that I’m completely out of the loop, but curious from locals, why did this happen? What went wrong? Is there a council plan to improve things? How does everyone living on the GC view Surfers?

Hey everyone,

hoping for some outside perspective.

My parents are seriously considering moving our family from Melbourne to the Gold Coast (Main Beach and surrounds). I originally thought it was one of those "talked about forever but never happens" ideas, but they're pretty set on it now. My younger siblings (19 and 16) are keen too. Mum plans to keep our Melbourne house and rent on the Coast for the first year, so we'd have a home to come back to while we see where we want to settle.

I'm 21 and I'm the one struggling with it. My partner of 5 years has to be in Sydney for work from about February to September each year, so I split my time between Sydney and Melbourne, flying back and forth around my job. Melbourne is my home base, where my friends are and where I live with my family when I'm not in Sydney. If my family moves, I'd be juggling Melbourne, Sydney and the Gold Coast, and I'm worried I'd end up with no real "home" anywhere.

I struggled to make friends at school, so I'm proud of the life and friend group I've built in Melbourne. I'm really close with my family and love living with them, and Mum doesn't want me moving out either, which is part of why we're keeping the house. But I don't love change, and I'm not sure how I'd build a life on the Coast while my job, friends and partner are elsewhere.

A few questions:

Has anyone moved to the GC with adult or near-adult kids?
How did it go?

For those who moved at 20 or so, how did you make friends when you're not at uni and working full time?

Any tips for the 16-year-old (school options, settling in) or the 19-year-old?

Anyone done the "keep the old house and trial it for a year" approach? Did it help or just delay the decision?

Any advice for juggling three cities, or for relationships where one person is often away?

Also just a note I dont/ wont just pack up my whole life and move I can’t see that working for me it’s just navigating the potential change and what others think!?

I can't find much online for families at this stage of life, so any experiences or honest opinions would be really
appreciated.

Thank you!

Will be held near the Upper Coomera Library.

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