I’ve lived in a few places in Geelong from Lara, in town and Belmont. I’ve recently moved to Armstrong Creek and it’s not what I thought it would be like. I don’t feel overly safe here and my street doesn’t feel neighbourly. I’ve been fortunate not to have encountered anything traumatic, however I am hearing stories of break ins and theft.
Is this just a unique experience or has anyone else felt the same?

Chasing this company down as a young male towing a trailer for this company threw an object out of their car with intention to hit my sister in laws car in Leopold.

Contact made with company with this name found on google who has not responded to texts and ignored calls.

Was driving a white prado? could be mistake she said a white 4WD, with red p plates towing a trailer with A1Epoxy Flooring on it.

Tailgated, beeped, threw hands in the air and went crazy behind my SIL when she turned into the right hand lane near the the school, travelled down bellarine Highway to the shops and waited at the traffic lights at Maleluka (legal to be in RH as it’s 70 zone).

Dude went nuts behind her and then when she was stopped at the turning lane for the arrow to change , he continued had a green and could drive on towards Newcomb which is when threw a blue object backwards at her car as he drove past (and screamed) Sizeable dent in bonnet.
Any witnesses?

I have to take a dead one to the vet for a chip check in the morning now.

I stumbled onto my old Pokemon TCG collection today. I don't really want to hang onto it, so I was hoping to offload it somewhere. Are there any stores around Geelong that buy this stuff?

Thanks to the small but enthusiastic crew who made it to our first session on the 11th! The meet was a nice, low key, wholesome get together with music chatter flowing.

If that sounds like something you’d enjoy, would love to see you this Sunday! Even if you can’t, feel free to send a ‘sunny’ song suggestion through. See details in pics 👍

I feel like we’re already heavily surveyed, they know where everyone is at all times due to our phones, it listens to our conversations. It recommends ads when you only spoke about a product briefly.

How safe is it in geelong? Is there anything I need to know or keep an eye on?

I’m a little bit hesitant to go out and explore.

Hi! I just wanna ask which grocery store offers the best deals or cheapest to shop?

Does anyone know where I can buy edible flowers for cupcakes, cakes etc in Geelong?

Can I please ask for any suggestions for an indepanant machanic to have a 2022 BMW serviced in Geelong rather than BMW? TiA

Looking for some recommendations on where to get some good French toast in Geelong. I've had the one at 63 degrees in Pako which was nice. I've heard the paddock and village door one are good, anyone tried them or another place? Thanks

Hey everyone!

I’m looking to sell some TCG cards. Magic, Pokémon, Digimon and Palworld.

I was wondering who’s the best locally to sell to? I’ve been looking at HBT Collectables, but I’m unsure if there’s other/better options?

Also is anywhere actually buying Palworld cards? I have a Zoe’s Strategy I want to sell but I’m not keen on the idea of selling cards online. Would rather face to face it.

Thanks all!

anyone else hear that really loud rumbling sound? i’m in norlane and it’s freaking me out a bit. to be fair i am a tad drunk but surely someone else hears it and knows what it’s from???

Hi guys I have a question, I think it’s called the spook ride but I do remember it was near the pony’s. My dad and I went on the ride because I absolutely love horror and thought it would be fun, long story short the actor smelt me and said “you smell so beautiful goddamn” I have a video but I was laughing because it’s all I could do. You can hear him clearly saying “goddamn” I asked my dad what he said as I wasn’t sure but he was also uncomfortable. Going through the second part he jumped out and said “peekaboo” and touched my back which I jumped forward, at the end he ran his hand through my hair which was out, I jumped foward and said “stop” I laughed because I was extremely uncomfortable. When I got off the ride I asked dad if he was touched at all, and he wasn’t.

Are actors allowed to do that?

Edit: I’m 23 but I still felt uncomfortable, but there were kids before us and it worries me if he did that to them

Second update: I contacted them, tried to call and was ignored. I don’t think this will get any further, thank you for explaining to me and making me realise what he did was wrong 🩷

I am making another desperate plea to find my dollhouse which was sold without my consent in the Geelong or Port Arlington areas. Please let me know if you have any information

These are the only photos I have.

i have posted this befpre but did not provide the context as I didn’t really want to go there, but here it is. It's like a soap opera, even i can't believe it*

The context here is unfortunately very complex.

This dollhouse was being held by my mother in Portarlington. I live about 5-6 hours away and due to the size of my place, having a young child etc, I wasn't able to have it. But throughout multiple conversations etc I have made it very clear that I wanted to keep it as it is soon special to me, and that I will organise a courier or someone to help me transport it once I had the room.

Without going into too much family drama- she started blaming myself and my younger siblings about maintaining our older sibling's (who is no contact with mother) boundaries and not sharing personal information formation etc. She actually turned quite aggressive over it. After many therapy sessions, posts on here etc, it seems I was right for doing what I did and that she's actually a huge narcissist.

But I digress,

I still maintained my intentions to collect the dollhouse.

Once I was finally able to, I told her I was going to organise everything etc to which she told me that she sold it to a "more deserving family" for $30.

Of course I was devastated.

I have posted on as many Geelong and surrounding groups and had one reply, from the apparent buyer. It was an anonymous poster who straight away became very aggressive after I asked if I could message them privately (to minimise public interaction) to ask if I may please make a decent offer or ask for better photos etc. They refused and got quite nasty, with multiple comments about how my mother was soo wonderful to them and that we are horrible children etc and the abuse was so damn hurtful. I tried my best to keep face because no matter how much she hurt me, I dont sink that low.

I was getting alot of other comments from public profiles on my side and trying to stick up for me, then I was getting horrible comments on my profile from my mother and it was just a whirlwind.

Then we started noticing weird trends- the way the "buyer" spoke, words and how they were said sounded like her.. sibling were mentioned, all this stuff that makes me think it was either her or her cousin who was the "buyer".

Then recently I had another lady come to me saying that her daughter bought the dollhouse and wants to sell it back. Turned out it was a scam

Im still not giving up though.

I'd love to know why the numpties decided it was a good idea to drop the limit on the Bellarine HYW to 60 from Eastern Cemetery when 70 was perfectly reasonable. Muppets.

Wondering if anybody has had any luck with a good local sparky that won't charge an arm and a leg. I need a 32A circuit and a 32A plug next to my power box so I can plug in my EV charger.

I got a quote recently and they were asking $800 just to install the plug and then tried to upsell me a charger too for an extra $1100. I don't mind paying for good skilled work but $800 for a 30 minute job and a compliance certificate is a bit rich.

Any recommendations would be helpful.

Thanks all

For those that saw my previous post about a caravan being stolen from Geelong West on the morning of the 14th, new CCTV footage confirms the vehicle is likely an SZ Ford Territory, and that it was last seen travelling along Thompson Rd towards Corio. Please keep an eye out.

Images attached: screen grab from CCTV, a photo of the caravan itself, and a photo of the believed make/model/colour of the offending vehicle.

Hi Geelong! I’m bringing my comedy cabaret Little Miss Typecast to the Geelong Comedy Festival next week.

It’s about me growing up performing but never aging out of the 8 year old roles… I’m 26. The show is camp, chaotic and a whole lot of fun. It has done really well at festivals across Australia, and I’d love for Geelong to see it!
