The surf the last couple days has been awesome to watch! 🏄🏽‍♂️

The most chaotic bus stop in Wynyard needed another challenge

In progress at World Square 😂

Seems that the City Tattersalls Club in the CBD has now gone out of business. Its main club house was/is being redeveloped, and it was operating out of the Castlereagh Club on Castlereagh St in the meanwhile, but it has ceased trading.

"Venue closer [sic]: Please be advised City Tattersalls Club has ceased operating due to it's [sic] impaired financial position. This closure affects all of The Castlereagh Club, World Gym and Squash courts."

The last total eclipse visible from Sydney happened in 1857, and the next one will be in 2858. Check the position of the sun today at around 12:40PM if you want to start planning for the big day.

I can't believe this was Bankstown almost a century ago.

We can’t have anything nice. Newtown Forest got removed today 😢

My son has recently started learning to drive and is still very new. He already has a driving instructor, but I’m looking for a safe place for short parent-supervised practice once he is ready.

Ideally looking for somewhere:

- quiet on weekend mornings

- flat and open

- not a multi-storey car park

- not a busy shopping-centre car park

- suitable for basic steering, slow turns, braking, lane positioning, and confidence building

Areas around Edmondson Park, Prestons, Moorebank, Chipping Norton, Liverpool, Casula, or Campbelltown would be ideal, but I’m open to other Southwest Sydney suggestions.

Any recommendations would be much appreciated. Thank you.

There's a few road verges close to my place that are rarely maintained by council and a bit overgrown with tall grass and weeds. I'm considering scattering some seeds in there to add a bit of colour. If they grow, they grow - but for $10 worth of seeds I think it's worth the gamble.

I'm just reluctant as I don't want to mess with any native flora, but it literally just looks long grass.

To add context: I know fuck all about plants and can barely keep pot plants in my flat alive.

Sydney is looking good this morning!

Major delays due to vandalism. The train I’m on at Campbelltown station has been there for 30 mins without moving.

May the odds be ever in our favour

Is it just me or more drivers in Sydney nowadays like to blast their horn if someone is not turning or creeping forward when the red arrow light is still on?

There have been so many times people blasting their horn when the red arrow is clearly still on (and there are still people crossing, although it doesn't matter as a red light means no go).

Oh and the amount of time people are still crossing and people tailgate and blast their horn (I have already creeped into the intersection) when I give way to pedestrians are staggering.

How hard is it to sacrifice a few seconds and let people cross in peace? If every street intersection has a police fining drivers for not giving way or obeying red light, our government would be so much richer.

Rants over. Sydney please get a better public transport network as I really hate dealing with all the lunatics on the road every time I drive. Pic grabbed from Google street view as an example of traffic light.

I used to live in Sydney and want to bring a little of it into my home. I was thinking posters of the different suburbs we lived in over the years, but am having trouble tracking any down online.

Any ideas?

Specifically I am looking for: Redfern, Marrickville, Darlinghurst, Pyrmont, Kirribilli, Coogee.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I hope this is allowed! I’m turning 30 this year, and I’m attempting to throw myself the first birthday party I’ve had since I was 18 (woo!). The original plan was to hire out a local community hall, order in some pizza and have a classic early 2000s school disco, but reality has slapped me in the face; I got married earlier this year and between the financial recovery from that and the fact that local community hall hire is now in the thousands (wtf?!), that idea is now off the table.

Mine and my husband’s place isn’t really suitable for hosting a party (we live in a super quiet area with lots of young families and we are very aware of noise levels with young children in all the houses around us), and I’m trying to avoid dinner at a restaurant as I don’t enjoy those and want something a bit more fun.

If anyone has any suggestions that are cost effective for everyone and fun, I’d love to hear them! If it helps, I love adventure, fun (if there was an adults only Maccas playground I’d be set lmao), video games, card and board games and being in bed by 11pm lmao, and I have quite a few friends who require accessibility options for various reasons. It would be for around 20ish people!

Thank you in advance for suggestions!

Train station, both posters seen side by side. You can of course make a clever combination promo that left does something with right, etc, but in this case we see exactly the same poster printed side by side.

Theories of the fuck up?
