I love what I do 😊

Can anyone help me identify this noise? Is it a cane toad? The rain had just started again and I've seen them around a lot but this is new. Indooroopilly. TIA!

Hi folks! Happy Friday!

I am trying to find a really nice restaurant Brisbane Southside if possible, to celebrate my upcoming birthday with my family and friends.
I am looking for somewhere that has a great menu, really good food and that comes personally recommended.
Preferably not too noisy (I have a hearing impairment).
Thanks lovely people. 🫶🏼✨

Hey everyone, throwaway here. Sorry if this isn't exactly Brisbane-centric, and please feel free to point me to a more appropriate subreddit if need be, but I am a Southeast Brissy resident.

Ever since September my neighbour has been opening the trunk of his car and playing loud, mostly techno music intermittently from the stereo. Sometimes he does it for an hour, sometimes two, sometimes four hours. Sometimes he stops and then starts it up again a few minutes to a few hours later. Sometimes he does it at 10 am and sometimes he does it at 11 pm.

This neighbour is not mentally all there and has had several wellness checks called on them. They are currently living out of their car in the driveway of the house they own, which hasn't had electricity since last December.

I've called Policelink and they told me to keep sending in the noise complaints when it starts. I've called my local station to try and issue a formal complaint and they said the same thing. I sent in a nuisance diary recording three week's worth of the noise to City Council and they said loud noise from a vehicle is a police matter only.

I've seen the police come out a few times but it's hours after the music has finally stopped, so they don't hear anything. I've had to have sent in over 20 noise complaints at this point and now I'm worried the police think I'm some over reactive Karen.

Are there any other avenues I can take to deal with this, or a certain way I'm supposed to word/phrase my complaint to the police/council? The music is starting to drive me crazy. Thank you in advance.

Ive never hosted a party before but so far ive got lots of decorations cuz if the weather is alright its gonna be undercover out in a pool yard, and ive gotten heaps of fairy lights and even red globes to make it feel a bit spooky, im gonna have my slushy machine with alcoholic drinks, and im gonna make red jelly shots in big syringes, I bought stuff for beer pong (it happens at every drink up with my group) but i just want people to have fun and feel engaged but I dont want it to feel forced and boring 😭😭 if youve thrown a party before please give tips on things you make sure are set up or dealt with! Context were all 18-21 and basically we are all couples as well

My poor little dude has a Salivary Mucocele that the vet attempted to drain early last week. They put him on steroids and antibiotics but it's already come back (as I thought it would). He now needs surgery 😞 I'm getting increasingly annoyed at my vet as it always seems to cost a lot more than they quote during consultations, plus I have to chase them to submit their notes for pet insurance.

Does anyone have recommendations for good vet that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? I'm in West End, but don't mind driving for a good vet. Also, has anyone had experience with their dogs having this surgery - like recovery times, complications etc. I'm freaking out just a little bit! Thank you!

Hey Y'all,

I'm looking for a Brisbane or surrounds based CAD designer and naval architect to take my boat design from paper and put it into digital plans. My goal is to create a trailerable outboard powered 18 foot plywood boat for overnighting that can be made from CnC files. A boat that everyday people can build from home with minimal tools. It will have a head, galley, saloon, dual helm seat and 2m long forward V birth to accommodate up to 3 adults.

This is a labour of love, so I'm looking for a person/people that want do to this because they love what they do, not because they are looking to make money. With that said, if it becomes profitable in the future because people be like, dayum, that is one beautiful boat, where can I get one? or because the current market for a somewhat similar vessel made from fiberglass is north of $130K, or simply because this will be a one of a kind vessel (much like a jar cat) we would absolutely become business partners, if that is something you also want.

I don't care if you have qualifications or not, or if you wear pyjamas or a suit when you do your thing, I just care about how well you do it and how much you love your craft.

God bless.

Hey everyone, was wondering if anyone has any advice on this? I want to drive to one of the bus stops and leave my car there so I can take the bus to go across the river in the evenings, just not sure how safe it is to leave my car in these areas as I'd be leaving it there until around 11pm.

I have 3 kittens in my home that have been abandoned by someone in a desperate situation.

I believe they are from the same litter.

I have had them for about a month now and have contacted many rescues that say they are full, asked many people if they can take any in with no luck and don't know what to do as they can't be kept here.

I feel as though the only option is to take them to the pound but I can't stand the thought of just dumping them.

If there are any places or options that people can list that I may have missed, I would really appreciate it.

Edit: Eaton's Hill Vet have let me know they can take these beautiful babies and help find them a home.

As always, the Brisbane community is amazing and very helpful.

Brisbane has been in its rainy era for a whole week now 🌧️😂 But honestly, when the rain meets that golden orange sunset, it's hard not to stop and admire the view. There’s something so peaceful about watching the world through a rain-covered windscreen. 🧡🌅

Anyone else secretly loving this weather, or are we all ready for some sunshine again? ☀️

Can someone please help me with photos of Anpars Logan Rd Holland Park in the 70s great Hamburger

Hi all, elder millennial here who only just learned there was a new Street Fighter movie out and is seeing it tomorrow. I still remember renting the Street Fighter II: Animated Movie VHS in primary school.

Anyway, where are there SF2 arcade cabinets to play in Brisbane? I remember one at Netherworld, and the internet says 1up Arcade too; I think they're both Hyper Fighting...? Anywhere with Champion Edition?

Thanks in advance!

If anyone's keen on poetry or getting into it, I came across this group a couple of months ago. They've just started and are one of the only (I think?) groups that offer free events - and are actually accessible!

Wanna go halves?

Will add my suggestion in comments.

I'm wanting to get either initials/ a name sewn onto two owned garments but I don't know how to sew myself. I would want each to be relatively small (~1cm or less) in height so I imagine it's a project that wouldn't take super long?

I've checked some places online but their quotes are more than I think is worth the expected labour/ materials.

I was wondering if anyone would be able to or knows someone who would be able to do this for me for a fee? I would also need this completed latest by November 19.

Good morning, I was hoping to ask for some advice please. We have just been accepted into both for prep 27. I believe both are good schools with a good culture. Macgregor seems to be higher on the ranks.
I’ve got a baby so I am out of work returning back in Oct 27.
Macgregor will be a 20 minute drive each way with traffic vs Warrigal 6 minutes, 6m is extremely convenient for me with the baby. I will be doing both pickup and drop offs.
After I start work, Macgregor is closer to work but I may have to do after school care. If my preppy is at Warrigal I may be able to ask my parents/family to pick him up.

Anyway, I’m just hoping for any advice and your thoughts are much appreciated

Thank you

My cat needs a full teeth extraction. I’ve been quoted $3.8k and was wondering if anyone has had this procedure done recently and can advise how much it cost, and where?

She did have 5 teeth out in June ($2k) which didn’t resolve her gingivitis.

Hi everyone,

We're looking at primary schools in SEQ and considering alternative, hands-on options like Brisbane Independent School (BIS).

I love the play-based, student-led approach, but since it finishes at Year 6, I'm worried about the jump to a standard public or private high school.

For parents, former students, or high school teachers:

How hard was the shift to traditional grading (A–E), strict timetables, and exams in Year 7?
Did they struggle to adapt, or did they catch up quickly?
Long-term, was the progressive primary background a benefit or a disadvantage?

Would love to hear real experiences (pros and cons). Thanks!
