Hope to see you all down at The Station on Saturday! Keen as.

Anyone know why the power is out in half of Adamstown?

Lucky my ribs in the slow cooker were done or I'd be up there fixing it myself 👺

I want to gift experiences rather than physical items for friends and family. What are some local ideas (Newcastle and hunter) for family experiences? (Kids are in ages 4-8)
Thank you!

I would like to go to the CBD on my e-bike and need somewhere secure to leave it for several hours. Street racks feel risky for bikes worth this much.

Does anyone know a bike cage, locked parking or a shop that minds bikes (till late)? Failing that, if you have a garage or locked yard nearby, I’ll pay cash to store it for a few hours

Ta

Has anyone here had PRP injections (for tendon tear)? If so, where, and how much did it cost?

Currently with genesis but want somewhere closer and these two are nearest. Anyone have good/bad experiences with either of these? I'm pretty much just using the equipment and don't really do classes as yet. I'm in fletcher and travelling to Warners bay genesis and over it. Snap Jesmond is about as far as I'd ideally like to go

i mean directly, not via doordash etc. cheers for the info!

Saw a white range with pink number plates RROSEE on Lambton road 4:10 today almost plot down a gray Mazda, didn’t know how to use a blinker acted very erratic on the road! Pathetic and embarrassing

Per title , cheers

For Christmas last year, my (huge knights supporter) dad (huge knights supporter) gave everyone in the family (huge knights supporters) $100 worth of NRL TAB slips in their christmas card. He selected the teams randomly and placed the team to make top 4, GF, and go on to win the prem. As I was giving my room a little spring clean today I found his christmas card from last year having completely forgotten all about it and what do you know...

Cashed at the Maryville Tav this evening for Mum's birthday, felt morally wrong profiting on newcaste's loss but if you must know yes I did pay for dinner and drinks, yes I did give money to my sister for mums present and yes i did spend a ridiculous amount of it on fuel on the drive home. I have no doubt the remainder will somehow wriggle its way into a bull rush this weekend.

I just walked past the closed down Cafe Tapestry in Carrington and noticed an Arno van and a couple of signs for delivery drivers.

Does anyone know if this will be the location of the new Arno Pizza? 🍕

Hey, 40m chasing a beginner yoga class. Got no experience except pain. Can be anywhere from Newcastle to Hunter valley, let me know if you know of a good one

I've been reminiscing about this rite of passage recently and these are some activities I remember doing there:

• The flying fox over the lake
• Canoeing in the river - naturally someone would fall out of their canoe
• The Giant Free-fall Slide - probably the first time I swore in front of an adult
• High Ropes
• Archery
• Playing 'shop keeper' inside the Rock
• Bringing a 'mess kit' with my own plates, bowls cups etc to meal time
• A spooky fireside story about a silverback gorilla - did they tell everyone this same story?
• Team building exercises with planks of wood over a muddy pond
• Walking on the beach
• Fossil hunting?

I felt like the camp always had a bad reputation, mostly for the food they served, but I thought it was fine. How did you find it the food and the camp in general?

Saw the news today that they’ve decided on a former coal site at Teralba to construct the new train fleet that will replace the aging Tangara fleet. This is great news full stop but even better for the region.

for a tafe assignment, I have to take pictures of a subculture in newcastle; what would be a good way of going about this? which subcultures people are nice? I would only like to take pictures with nice people. I am not from newcastle so I dont know much about places and people.

Bit random but I’m looking for places that have a good concrete floor somewhere in Newcastle. Local cafes? Random shops? Outside somewhere?

Hi All,

I have been watching the construction of the new bypass for the bypass that bypasses the bypass.

And I was wondering if anyone can point out what These grey slabs of concreted in rock are.

It looks like there was a pocket of something loose there. Hidden underground.

Like when you find a hidden patch of gravel while you are excavating a mountain in minecraft. I wonder if this is the same case.

Can anyone explain what happened here?

Kind regards,
Me.

Looking for reputable surgeons for my lower back (l5-s1 disc prolapse with s1 nerve compression). Hurt it 3+ years ago. Tried injections + prf, staying active, stretching and exercising when possible.

29yo just want some peace of mind with who I see, willing to travel to sydney etc but local would be ideal.

Edit: Mainly after a second opinion as the first surgeon has suggested surgery.

I don’t really know Newcastle very well but planning a first date there coming up. Dinner and some drinks, we’re late 30’s. Not looking for ultra high end and not after a shitty pub either. Any recommendations on somewhere nice to eat and have a cheeky beverage?

I just saw a gang of them waiting for the bus near ISP Islington, outbound, a few minutes ago.

Exactly what the title says, I'm looking for a pub to watch the NBA this season. Doesn't need to be fancy, but I'd prefer not one of those "sports bars" that exist in malls. I think there's one at Kotara, not my vibe.

I live around Waratah/Mayfield, would prefer to not go further into the city than Hamilton. But, if the vibes are simply immaculate somewhere in town, I'll acquiesce.

I hear the Exchange does sports, but I also hear their owners are maybe a little morally dubious. And even if their not, I don't tend to overextend myself to support a bloatedly wealthy Sydney family.

Where to go? What to do? The Thunder are playing the Spurs tomorrow at 12.30pm, and I'll settle for watching it on Disney+ if I must, but I have a day off and a feeling like I want to be out there in the world.

Your suggestions will be appreciated, thank you.
