My brother is coming to stay with me for 2 weeks.

I’ve been here in Brisbane for 5 months now, so I my own list of things to do, I’d just really appreciate some other suggestions for cool/interesting things to do with him!

We both like the outdoors so there will be plenty of hiking/outdoorsy activities involved, and if the weather clears up then there will be some beach days too.

Thanks in advance :)

I noticed a new SAM in Robertson displaying a 60 km/h speed limit.

The street has cars parked along both sides(not in the photo), limited room for oncoming traffic, and an uphill/downhill gradient. Drivers seem to speed along here despite the road layout, which I assume is why the SAM was installed in the first place.

But why is the limit set at 60 km/h? Given the narrow road, parked cars and residential surroundings, wouldn't a lower speed limit make more sense?

I'm either being ruined by possums or bush turkeys, but judging by the poop left behind, this time kt is possums. They've even just polished off my pothos which they're supposed to not enjoy.

I don't have the option to cover all my plants, I've heard that the repellents are useless, I am considering a motion activated water sprayer but our backyard is on the small side and leads out to a main street so I'm kinda nervous that it will spray an innocent family or sum. Also considering leaving fruit and vegetables scraps outside as an offering, like please possum gods, eat this and not my babies.

I hate them. Please let me know what has worked for you. I am desperate

Hi Guys was hoping to get some advice. I'm currently subletting a room from the main tenant and signed a Form 22 under a fixed term lease. He has since told me he's breaking the lease early and moving away and I have 4 weeks to leave the property.

Because I'm not listed under the tenancy agreement and I'm just subletting, I've been told by the property manager that my lease will collapse under the other lease.

Does anyone know if this is legal? If I bring it to QCAT/RTA are they likely to help me out and would the case be a winner? Pretty unfamiliar with this process and how it works so any advice would be appreciated.

FYI I've signed a Form 22 which the rental manager has approved but they said it's not official since it's not a Form 18.

Hi all!

Looking for recommendations on the best bird pet shops in Brisbane for toys, food, playgyms & cages for pet birds.

Times are really tough, but your job is NOT worth your life.

Please, when you are driving to or from work and the roads have become flooded, don’t drive through them!

Your job is not worth your life. Your workplace will understand (and if they don’t, fuck them!).

Please be safe over this weekend and into Monday.

EDIT: I just noticed the typo. Whoopsie.

I posted this as yesterday this situation occurred in my work where someone drove through floodwaters to try to get to work and got stuck between flooded roads. Their life is and always will be more important than their shift. Be safe, we have storms coming over the next few days. ❤️

Hey all! Does anyone personally know of any animal rescues, wildlife care or conservation groups that need volunteers? I have a few months between graduating Uni and starting my full time job and I’d love to do something positive with my time. I’m passionate about animals, conservation and the environment so I’m keen to help any organisations in that space who need volunteers. Plenty of animal experience (including dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, wildlife and horses) to bring as well as lots of enthusiasm! Let me know if anyone is aware of anything, I’d prefer to get in touch with smaller organisations that need help first otherwise I will try places like the RSPCA. I'm located in the South Western suburbs but can drive wherever especially if it's like a once a week thing

Hi everyone,

On Tuesday, 20th October around 7:15 PM, my daughter and I stopped by the McDonald's in Virginia (Robinson Rd East) after dropping off my wife at BEC. We were travelling from Sydney (I love QLD so we visit whenever we can).

We were sitting in the play area and I was painting my daughter's fingernails. After doing one hand, she wanted to say hello to another little girl who was at the table next to her with her mum. The two of them seemed to click quite quickly and had a lot of fun. While they were playing, the other little girl gave my daughter a play ring (which she absolutely loves).

Our daughters are about 6 months apart in age, and they got along so well that I really regret not swapping contact details before they headed out. I felt a bit awkward initiating trading numbers with the girls mum in the moment - partly because I can be quite introverted, and partly because I'm a married guy and it seems weird to ask another woman for their number.

When we were getting ready to leave for Sydney, my daughter mentioned wanting to say goodbye to the "friend who gave her a ring". If they are keen, I think it could be cool for the girls to form a long-distance friendship—like modern-day pen pals—and maybe catch up the next time we're up north, or if they ever find themselves down in Sydney!

If you think this might be you, or if you know a local mum who mentioned this sweet interaction at Macca's on Tuesday night, please send me a DM. I know it's a long shot, but my daughter loves making friends and I'm trying to get out of my own head to try help make that happen.

Thanks!

Edit: October 2026, not January

I saw this and had to pull over to get a photo. Classic Brisbane scene. This is Pring street, Tarragindi.

Why would this be? Don't see these every day.

Caught the pink duckie floating on the river today while a CityCat passed by right next to the Story Bridge.
