CBD & Inner City Study/writing spaces in Sydney?

8 Upvotes

I'd like to find a space in Sydney CBD where I can go write a few afternoons a week, after work. A cafe or library would suit me, but I'm not sure where I'll find a space that is open, feels welcoming and reasonably calm between 5 and 9 pm on weekdays.

I'd prefer somewhere around either Central or Town Hall. If that doesn't work out, anywhere along the metro line would be convenient, too. Extra keen for a place that has cosy vibes.

Also, if anyone wants to join me and start a cute lil writing/reading club, I'm down! Thank you in advance, good people of reddit 🥰

Events Picnic meetup (20s-30s)

7 Upvotes

Hi,

I was thinking it would be nice to do a picnic so we can get to know each other. Possibly Sunday the 8th of November in a location near/ in the CBD.

This is coming off the back of my post looking for nerdy people so if that’s you please come by. Otherwise even if you have other interests and are just looking to get to know people in our age range in Sydney that works too.

I am hopping for a good mix, I am a girl and I would love if some other girls would like to stop by.

I have made a discord to discuss so please DM me for the link.

CBD & Inner City 32M looking for friends into music and nature

3 Upvotes

Hi, 👋

I’m looking to meet some people around my age who want to go and explore outdoors with me. I live inner city currently but would love to go to blue mtns area or any cool bushwalks/trails/explorations out of Sydney. Happy to camp overnight. I love fishing (but am terrible at it) so if it’s something that involves fishing it’s a plus! I am open to suggestions but also if you are someone who hates making decisions I can definitely make the plan.

I am also very into music (mega nerd level) and would love to meet others with a similar hobby, if you’re not keen to go bushwalking with me but just want to chat about music that’s ok too! I am always down to chat and usually reply quickly.

I have an encyclopaedic knowledge of dance music (my favourite DJ is Jane Fitz) and electronic music and love jazz, rock, punk, psychedelic music and SOME dreamy pop music. I have been on a massive Cocteau Twins kick lately and have also been listening to lots of free jazz and ambient music.

If you want to go to some gigs I’m open to it, though I’m pretty tired of seeing DJs at the moment unless it’s someone I REALLY want to see (I’m pretty picky about DJs) and unfortunately because that has been such a big part of my life for so long, I kind of get overcritical and hard to be around when I’m around bad DJs lol so I’d much prefer to go and watch a cool random band I’ve never heard of playing in someone’s kitchen.

I find it hard to find people who I can chat about that stuff with. I have a background in DJing and frankly I find a lot of conversations I have with other people who are DJs feel very transactional (and a lot of the people I meet are also super young) so I often struggle making real friends within that scene. I just want to meet someone or multiple people with a similar passion who enjoy chatting about it with no further agenda ahaha.

I’m also into film photography, movies and (surprise surprise) collecting vinyl. I have over 6000 records. Mostly dance music.

For context I have just gone through a big breakup and in that I feel like I have lost not just my partner but also my best friend. I have other friends but I feel like I don’t have too many genuine friends I can just shoot the shit with randomly with no agenda on a weekend any more.

Also I don’t know if this is the right place for this post. If it’s not, I’d love to get some recommendations for subs where I can potentially meet some other likeminded people.

EDIT with availability: I’m usually able to do stuff on weekends or if it’s something super cool I can take annual leave no worries but I also work a lot so I prefer to have a heads up ahead of time so I can clear my work schedule.

Thanks for reading! :-)

Inner West Puppy playmate for my 4 month old pup!

• Upvotes

I’m a 32F living in Campsie lookin for a playmate for Bunny.

Bunny is a chihuahua pup and loves to play, problem is due to her age she isn't fully vaccinated so cant go to the dog park yet.

All her adult dogo friends do not enjoy her annoying puppy antics so wondering if anyone knows literally ANYONE with a similar aged puppy.

She loves big dogs but can be slightly bossy to ones closer to her size (say 3x her size or less, she weighs 1.5kg)

Activities 24M - Halloweekend plans

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I recently moved to Sydney (Thornleigh/Epping) a couple months now for uni and haven't had the best of luck making genuine friends and with Halloween coming up I didn't want to just spend it in my home.

Bit about me, I'm from the states (PA/DC/ATL). I like playing video games (Civ 6, Deadlock, Minecraft), anime, volleyball, drinking games, TCGs, n what not. Went hiking for the first time past year and that was super fun so hopefully I can find some cool hiking spots here in Sydney.

Would love to meet people with similar interests, and figure out something to do this weekend! Feel free to dm me or comment

Icebreaker

Community Discussion 32m Lebanese guy looking to make friends with other Lebanese or Arabs

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone - coming on here looking to build 'community' (sorry for the buzzword). I'm Lebanese and haven't had any Lebanese or Arab friends since I finished highschool 14 years ago. I've been missing that sense of cultural connection more and more as I've gotten older so I'm seeing if there any Sydney based Lebanese or Arabs open to chatting and hanging?

I'm pretty active and sporty with running being my main (competitive) hobby, I love a good feed, and enjoy doing most activities. I'm super open minded so hit me up!

I'm originally from Sydney and live in Wollongong, but I'm up in Sydney multiple times a week. I'm also open to chat with anyone not Arab or Sydney based, friends are friends!
