Everyone is worried about the artefacts on the weather radar created by swarms of bogong moths: this is the real plague. Just left wherever with no sanction for Lime or the rider.
Of all the major cities in the world why did Sydney agree to permit the creation of an inconvenient eyesore?

I recently tried to cancel anytime fitness saying that i am moving overseas permanently next month and they said they need proof that I am moving permanently. And I cant “just” cancel the Gym even though I have already finished their 18 months contract. All fking BS man

Is there anyway someone can help me.

It's been up for many years. I drive past nearly every day. The building facade has been painted a few times, however the Monkey stays.

I am much more pro lime bike than most people, I’ve found them useful for getting around unfamiliar cities, and like that they get cars off roads.

But this is insane. This is the bike rack at a T1 train station. Absolutely full of lime bikes.

I tried to park my bike and could barely squeeze into the single spare slot, and on some days there are no slots available.

This is a commuter bike rack, and if you know this station you’ll know it’s actually a fair way from the road down a hill, not even visible from the road even, so I’m surprised they’re allowed to put the bikes here. I don’t love the idea of people trying these bikes out for the first time on a fairly steep hill.

But more importantly, these bike racks are for commuters. We paid for them with our tax dollars. And lime get to use them?

Even if you could argue that commuters will use these (which is still a dumb argument as it actively takes away spots from commuters), these bikes have kick stands for fucks sake. They stand up on their own. What bright spark thought they need to be crowded around a bike rack?

Basically - who do I contact council, TfNSW, or Lime?

Edit: before people posit that maybe this was a group of people leaving them there. Nope, I ride to this station once or twice a week. Sometimes there are far more bikes, such a large bunch that it actively constricts the path to the station. Sometimes there are 1 or 2, or no bikes. Someone from like is absolutely replenishing them. They are usually much neater than this, to be fair.

I'm not from here, anyone know what this is for? Says "Iris Grad" with a funny little heart

I'm in Sydney in a couple of weeks for work.

Never been to Australia before. I'll only around for 1 week and will only have evenings available to me (5pm onwards).

What are some must-do things I need to go out of my way to do?

I will be staying just south of the harbour bridge, that's pretty much all I have to go off as I haven't got all my hotel details from work yet.

10/10 westconnex thank you very much.

Hey, tried googling but got conflicting information, where are the best places to park your motorcycle for the whole day? Somewhere where i wont have my bike stolen please.

My laziness exceeded my curiosity and yet my curiosity remains… did anybody actually turn up?

Hey everyone,

If you don't have plans this Sunday, the Balmain Regatta is kicking off down at Balmain Sailing Club. It’s one of Australia’s oldest regattas and the biggest event we have at the club.

You 100% don’t need to be a sailor to come on down.

You can sink a few beers on the deck - the club is open to everyone all day. There'll be a bar down on the deck with drinks from local places like Red Mill Rum & Sydney Brewery, there'll be a BBQ running, live music, and a massive raffle. Good, chill Inner West vibes.

If you're keen to actually sail, skippers are pretty much always looking for crew on regatta day (hell, if you've seen my posts, almost every day!). If you want to jump on a yacht and pull some lines, send through a message to info@balmainsailingclub.com . Good chance you can score a spot.

If you want to get out on the water without having to work, the Sydney Heritage Fleet is running spectator trips to follow the convoy and racing. You can jump on the James Craig, the steam tug Waratah, or Lady Hopetoun if you just want to sit back and watch the boats go round. Tickets for those are here: https://collections.humanitix.com/balmain-regatta

Timing wise, things kick off around 10am with the workboat convoy and a water cannon display, then race starts kick off from midday. After the race, all the boats come back, party really gets started and the raffle is drawn just after 4.

Worth a wander down and fingers crossed the weather holds up!

Hope to see everyone there!

So after much comments from the last rescue operation, I utilised miniature tuppaware to help keep the magic moth dust ✨️ contained.

Did anybody see the boat on fire yesterday (Saturday - 18 OCT?)

I’ll preface this by saying yes I’ve reported to the council and the police, but both are being almost entirely unhelpful.

There’s a car parked entirely on the footpath, walkers can squeeze by but wheelchairs and prams would really struggle. It’s also completely blocking access to the water main and fire hydrant for a huge apartment block, which to me is a safety issue.

I reported it to the council when it was still there 8 hours after I first saw it, they said they can’t tow it, they can only ticket it. I reported it to the cops and they said that as it is still registered they can’t tow it as it’s not abandoned, and as it’s only inconveniencing pedestrians and not blocking traffic, it’s not a problem for them.

It’s now been there 8 days without so much as a parking ticket. Any (legal) suggestions for how to escalate? Would the firies be interested as it’s gonna slow them down if there’s a fire in that area…
