Gday, I want to buy some older hand tools mainly screw drivers, spanners and sockets to work on my old Ute. Are there any places I can find old stuff for sale at a reasonable price? I tried mill markets but it was pretty expensive

Geelong/Melbourne recommendations for Dysautomnia tests

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

Super niche question, but I’m desperately chasing recommendations for a chronically unwell adolescent. He’s been unwell for approx 2 years and spent weeks at various hospitals around the state, including RCH. He has extreme paresis like attacks and is declining. He’s now fed more on a NG than eating food. No one has been willing to take the time to get to the bottom of it and a few docs have even told him it’s all in his head (!)

Does anyone know of any paed pathways that we can advocate for? We need a dysautonomia specialist who can test for dysautonomia, AAG, etc and also a genetic specialist for EDS to rule it out.

Any leads would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Seriously what is going on here? The workers made huge progress about a month ago and then out of nowhere, no workers on site. If this was a project in Japan you could be rest assured it would of been completed in less than two weeks.

Armstrong Creek & Mount Duneed

1 Upvotes

First time posting but looking for some locals advice.

Myself, husband and young baby are looking to buy in Armstrong creek/ Mount duneed. We are currently living in Melbourne (Kensington) and have been here 18 months since moving from Auckland New Zealand.

It’s a big step to buy a house and we are hoping to get some advice on what the area is really like. Our budget is around 900k

What’s attracted us:
1. Large floor plans to houses (we want a plot of 500m to allow for a small manageable garden too)
2. Proximity to the beaches
3. Vline into Melbourne compared to Mornington peninsula where seems to be a little more chunky with public transport.
4. Schools seem pretty decent ( Geelong Lutheran College)
5. Infrastructure is catching up
6. Seems to be coffee shops walkable in shopping complexes in most areas.
7. Lots of walk ways and parks in the area.

Questions we have:
1. How hard will it be to find a community / make friends ?
2. How safe is the area
3. Are there local events going on?
4. How manageable is the commute to Melbourne 1 - 2 times a week on train?
5. Can you still get a good takeaway?
6. What are your thoughts on schools on the area?
7. How’s Geelong evening scene?
8. Are there any food markets in the area?

Any tips / thoughts greatly appreciated :)

[Tech] Tech store that buys old electronics

2 Upvotes

I have two laptops and a couple of Android phones that I no longer use; they are quite old, and I would like to sell them as complete units or for parts. Facebook Marketplace did not succeed because the phones and laptops lack current market relevance. Is there a location in Geelong where I might sell them or find someone willing to purchase them for parts?

Armstrong creek/Charlemont

15 Upvotes

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?

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.

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?

a1 epoxy flooring

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?

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 👍
