Hey all,

Is there anywhere in Bendigo or surrounding areas that I could take a few rough sawn and old weathered timber beams to be run through a thicknesser?

Hey all, I’m blaze, I’m 16. recently moved to Bendigo and starting school sometime this month or next. If anyone in this sub around my age, lmk and lets catch up. My snap is blazejohnspate (I assume most people my age would be using snap so) anyways, thank you

I'm noticing that our place seems to have a lot of draughts etc where heat is escaping, and need to get it professionally assessed and fixed - I wouldn't even know where to begin.

Anyone can recommend any services in Bendigo (or that work in the Bendigo area) that can do something like this? All I've found so far are https://www.goinggreensolutions.com.au/ and https://www.ephe.com.au/, but no idea if they're any good, or if they even service the local area.

Anyone experiencing this in Bendigo? Any buyer or seller locally who is observing it?

So I started getting male Brazilian waxing a while ago. It hurts, the process sucks but totally worth it.

I don’t want to keep travelling into Melbourne to get it done, a 2 hour drive home with sore bits is nearly as bad as the waxing itself.

Does anyone have a recommendation for somewhere in Bendigo that does men’s intimate waxing, and does a good job of it?
It seems lots of places don’t do men, which is understandable but I just wanna get my bits smooth and go about my day in peace.

Hello amazing peeps,
I’m an international student and I’ll be coming to Bendigo in the next two months to start my undergraduate studies.
I wanted to ask what qualifications or requirements I would need to get a part-time job there, especially if I want to work as an early childhood educator or in childcare while studying.
Do I need a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care, a Working With Children Check, First Aid certification, or any prior experience? I’d really appreciate any advice from people living or studying in Bendigo.
Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I'm an international student from India and I'm planning to study Master of Information Technology at La Trobe University (Bendigo) next year.

I have a few questions and would really appreciate advice from people living in Bendigo:

• How is Bendigo for international students?
• Is it easy to find part-time jobs (retail, hospitality, warehouse, etc.)?
• Which areas are good and affordable to rent near La Trobe?
• Is public transport reliable?
• Is Bendigo a good place to start an IT career?
• Any advice for someone moving there for the first time?

Thanks in advance! I'm looking forward to becoming part of the Bendigo community.

My gf and I are staying in the centre of Bendigo for the next few days. And was wondering what places are good for dinner and breakfast. It’s just us 2 and anything that’s roughly $40-$100 in total. Thanks for the help

To the lovely young man who helped my older mother catch the train back to bendigo from Southern cross today:

Thank you!

She had forgotten her phone, had an eye appointment and been turned around all day.

You sat with her, chatted with her and after offering her a ride home, which she declined, waited to make sure she got into her car ok.

She has been telling everyone in our family how lovely you were to her today and we cannot thank you enough!

She indicated you may have been worried how she would respond to you because of your situation. She has been glowing you up all evening!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I know Australia is sometimes a shittier place than you'd think, but we aren't all racist pieces of shit and we genuinely appreciate good people.

We genuinely appreciate you!!!

Can someone please point me in the direction of cheap smoke shops? Ideally looking for somewhere that sells manchesters? Dm me. Cheers

can anyone recommend a landscaper for a new build. I know what I am wanting so not for the design side just the labour.

Thank you

I hope this okay to post but has anyone else noticed how different the prices for IGET one are between stores around Bendigo? I’ve seen people mention everything from $30 to $80. Curious what everyone’s local shop is charging these days.

As title says, chasing a way to find local artists or someone willing to do a commissioned watercolour painting from a photo. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions!

Does anyone know someone that can do cornrows or box braids? I’ve been looking for a bit since I’ve moved to Bendigo.

Who hurt you? Why do you do it? Do you even realise you are doing it?

I’m talking about the people who stop so short of the lights they’re not even triggering the sensor. Got stuck behind someone doing it at the lights today and saw two more in town. Is it just me or are there more people doing this one in the last couple Of years?

Hey everyone.

Has anyone else gotten weird conspiracy theory notes in there letter box? It's a single sheet with one side having a picture of Mario (the video game character) t-posing on one side and stuff about how every day civilians are spies and actors on the other. It also has his blog address on it.

Do I tell the authorities? Or just throw it out? I'd rather not get this nonsense in my letter box. Any guidance would be appreciated.

looking for recommendations for a butcher in Bendigo that does cuts for American BBQ. Brisket, pork collar butt, beef and pork ribs etc.

I'm considering a move to Bendigo from Sydney, driven by housing prices but also community (I used to live o/s in much smaller towns and only recently moved back to Sydney). I've never lived or even visited regional Vic so next week I'm coming down as a first scoping visit. Objective is a general 'vibe' check - does the town have the feel I'm looking for? Are there enough activities that my kids will enjoy (sports, outdoors etc)? What are my target suburbs based on house prices and their neighbourhood feel? I'm in town for 4 days, and going to prioritise checking out houses, shopping, activities and restaurants in the CBD and below suburbs:

• Spring Gully

• Kennington

• Strathdale

• Flora Hill

• Quarry Hill

• Strathfieldsaye

• Junortoun

Welcome to ideas on where to go, which suburbs to look into. For context, I'm a single mum of 3 kids under 10 with remote professional job and looking for a 4bdr house under $700K. Also, I'd love to hear from anyone with children attending Marist College, or any parents with ND kids at school!
