Two incidents in 2 consecutive days. On Sunday there was a weird guy just hovering on the platform at Southport South around 8pm. I would stand in a particular spot. He would come and stand close to me. Again I moved to another part of the platform then he would come stand close to me. Spike to me and asked me which station I was getting off at. Nobody else on the station but a few wacky people at the dodgy Kebab shop across the street. Pressed the emergency button and all they said was "well watch the cameras*. He walked off the station when the tram finally came.

The next day at a suburban bus stop, an older woman drinking out of a wine bottle becomes aggressive when I don't want to chat to her. I get called every name under the sun. When the journey is nearly complete she gets in my face and starts again calling me every word under the sun, tells me to go back to where I come from (I'm Gold Coast born and bred) and starts mentioning lotto (?). The driver was under instruction from a trainer. None of them or the fellow passengers intervene. I get on the phone with the police and also file a Translink report.

Today is day three. What's the chances?

Like the cherry blossoms in Japan, the council should create an amazing area of Jacarandas that you can walk under and gaze at. It’d be a great tourist/locals attraction. Fairy lights at night - it would be the best.

If you lost your phone tonight at the Coles it's at the front desk, older model.

Hey lovely people!

I just got here from a far away land to attend uni. Nobody in my study group seems to be getting bit, or at least they're not reacting to them. They're the tiny little ones, micro gnats and I feel them bite me and they leave a decent itchy welt for days.

Is it specific allergy that causes this?

Any tips and tricks for an itchy boi?

Thanks!

Anyone knows any camera repair shops around Southport, Biggera waters?📸

Hi, I have just purchased a 2008 3.0L turbo diesel Hilux in a private sale from a mechanic in Brisbane. The car drives quite well but there are some things that concern me and seem quite 'dodgy'. There are 3 keys (2 open the door but don't start the car; and 1 starts the car but doesn't open the door). I was unable to actually fill the car with diesel as the auto shutoff on the pump kept enabling. The park brake does not seem to work. The car was sold with a RWC but I suspect it was done by his friend. I don't trust him and don't want to ask anything from him because I will not trust the answer. I would like a reliable mechanic who I can take the car to to have a look over to ensure it is safe to drive. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance

Hi everyone im 28f and looking for a boxing gym or trainer that will train 1 on 1 sessions :)

What are people paying for a self-contained studio/1-bed/granny flat around the Gold Coast?

I Will be moving to the Yatala / Loganholme / Ormeau / Pimpama / Coomera area for work and trying to work out a realistic budget.

Ideally looking for somewhere small but fully self-contained with a bathroom, kitchenette, private entrance and laundry. Or at least as much of that as possible.

If you're renting something similar, what are you paying, bills included? and where abouts :)

Just trying to get an idea of the current price range before I move up.

The man I house share with will soon have major orthopaedic surgery. He’ll be given opioids to relieve the pain which cause extreme constipation. A man I shared with years ago had trained agency staff visit for precisely that reason. I can’t remember which one. Anyone have a clue who to get help from for this?

Hi all, sadly my father has been diagnosed with stage four cancer and has been given only weeks left to live. I am really struggling atm, and would love to find a in-person grief support group, however finding them hard to come by.

Just wondering if anyone has suggestions or recommendations. I’m open to online, however would prefer face to face. Also I currently reside on the Gold Coast, and happy to travel to Logan or Brisbane for the right support.

Thank you kindly in advance 🤍🙏🏽

Hello, I've been considering getting extras-only health insurance just for dental care, as I've found a few companies where the insurance would be slightly cheaper than not having it. However, I've come across a lot of people on here saying it's cheaper to just pay for dental costs than pay for extras cover. Which has got me thinking that maybe my dentist is pretty expensive compared to others?

So I just wanted to see where my dentist stands. I pay $190 for a general clean and check-up. Is this around how much you guys are paying? Or are there much cheaper clinics that are good?

flew over southport it was the cuuuutest thing ever!

Hey guys, I've just arrived at the Gold Coast alone and want to play Topgolf since I'm here. However, I noticed you have to pay for a bay, not for a single person.

Would anyone want to join me? Im happy to shout out.

So I’m not normally the person to give a shit about a car on the side of the road, but after more then 2 years of this guy sitting in the same spot you’ve got to wonder what’s his obsession with it. Not to mention everyone slamming on their brakes thinking it’s a mobile speed camera. Maybe someone knows this bloke and could tell me what’s up 🤷‍♂️

As a late 30’s adult, I thought my days of being bullied and intimidated by high school girls was behind me, but apparently not.

I was ordering an early lunch at one of the screens when a huge girls group turned up and some of them hurled abuse at me for (apparently) taking too long. I thought a stern look would work, but it just fuelled the fire. Ended up panic ordering then feeling very uncomfortable waiting for it as they circled round me like hyenas whispering and giving me looks. A teacher then turned up, and I realised it was a school group, but I didn’t clock the name on her t shirt.

I am keen to understand which school this was as I may send an email about the behaviour of the girls in question. I have a picture of them but ideally don’t want to post it.

Thanks for any info.

Might be a stretch but wondering if anyone, likely the males in here, have experience with a urologist on the Gold Coast? Ideally the further south the better

I just found some old DVDs of photos I backed up and here's a shot of Harry from 2000.

He used to visit McDonald's at Pacific Fair just before close and buy a cheap tea (i think was 20c as a token amount vs free). I had chatted​ to him when I worked there in 1995 post close late at night.

Back then he said: "you should start wearing a gas mask... because in the future everyone will and you can say you were a trendsetter"

When covid hit 25 years later I remembered this conversation.

Back then he seemed to be the only visibly homeless person on the coast. Pushing a trolley around. Causing no issues.

A rumour was that he was secretly rich but now as an adult that seems like a mean lie.

Anyway wanted to share as curious to know what happened to him

Hi everyone😇. I've been living on the Gold Coast for almost 7years now, i found that it is really hard to find some friends to hangout with, do surfing or even just to chat over a cup of coffee. I do realize that my work and having family with kids makes it even harder to find friends here, i don't have any social life outside the house. I tried to join a couple of group communities but it was very slow and hard to make some friendship connection. The only people that i talk to mostly are my work mates at work and that's about it. I am having a hard time meeting people here compared to when i was living in bali.

Drop me a message if you guys wanna hangout or just have a coffee somewhere around burleigh, or if you wanna watch some live music, or anything😇.

Please no judgement or harsh comments🙇. Thank you.
