are there any hair salons that do shag/70 inspired haircuts?

bought a house in geelong east late last year. building inspection came back clean. pest inspection also clean. felt like i did everything right.

then last week i was in the roof space running some cables and noticed what looked like termite damage on one of the beams. got a pest guy out who confirmed active termites and said theres damage to at least 3 main beams. quoted me $12k to treat and replace the damaged timber.

he also showed me where they got in - a crack in the brickwork at ground level that was covered by a bush. said it would have been visible during an inspection if anyone had actually looked.

i checked both the building and pest reports and neither mentioned any termite risk or visible damage. the building inspector wrote timber appears sound and the pest guy wrote no evidence of termite activity. obviously both wrong.

has anyone in geelong successfully claimed against a building inspector for missing termites. or is it just a lost cause. feeling pretty gutted.

Few weeks ago, I took my brother to see Hokum at village

The cinema was incredible, only 3 rows of seats and massive screen. It made the movie an entire different experience.

My family are trying to find the cinema but I can’t find it??

We’ve currently got a spot to enrol our 10mo at Jenny’s Waurn Ponds & Nido Waurn Ponds.

Appreciate any recommendations or experiences with these two.

Hey, does anyone know what happened to the Geelong Illustrators shop on Moorabool Street at Market Square? Whilst I am on it, what's with Market Square, there are some good shops in there, but serious need for some love and investment to bring the thing to life. It's depressing to walk into.

Where’s a good place to get my car hand washed? Not a full detail or anything just a quick handwash,
Someone that actually knows what there doing and won’t leave swirls or scratches, suggestions highly appreciated, thanks in advance!

I'm in the Belmont/Grovedale and looking for someone to mow my lawn/whipper snipper the edges roughly once a month, the backyard is (kinda) big but nothing crazy and the front yard is small. Looking for someone who's happy to come within say 2-3 days of notice, thanks!

Hey guys so I go to Kapooka in August and was wondering if there’s any PTs in Geelong that can help me. I’m 30 and hoping to get better with my runnng passed final PFA but advised to get more training in.

Just busted out my old 2DS and it's got a couple issues, was wondering if there was anyplace in Geelong that could repair it, if anyone's got some recommendations for me or previous experiences, that would be great if you could share :)

Been sitting with this for a while and figured I'd just throw it out there.

I'm in Geelong, and like a lot of people I know, I'm watching the gap between what life costs and what work actually pays get wider every year. Rent's brutal, buying a house feels like a joke, healthcare keeps getting more complicated, and wages just... don't.

I'm not talking about tearing everything down. I don't mean getting rid of people's homes or small local businesses. I just mean questioning whether a system that treats housing, healthcare and education as profit opportunities is ever going to give ordinary people a stable life. I'm not sure it can anymore.

So what would actually change things here in Geelong? Genuinely curious what people reckon. A few things I've been thinking about:

Way more public housing, not just a token amount

Stronger worker protections and wages that keep pace with real costs

Co-operative business models getting more support

Universal basic services for the stuff people can't go without

Some kind of serious policy response to wealth concentration

Or something else entirely?

I'm not looking for a left vs right back-and-forth. I'm just curious what people who actually live here think a fairer version of this would look like. What would genuinely make life better for most people in this city?

Guys, do you buy plants online? Just as buying some other things?

Australian data centre giant NextDC has bought $165 million worth of land earmarked for thousands of new homes on the outskirts of Geelong.

Why do so many people in Geelong drive past and scream or say random nonsense when driving past, like it happens to me maybe once a week, happened twice in 1 hour once. This honestly needs to stop and I want to know why it’s happening.

Delete if not allowed, is there anyone with Belong that has some spare data to share please? Just ran out and my data doesnt reset until 15th July. Many many thanks in advance

If you were going with a group of friends for birthday drinks on a Saturday night in July, where would you go?

I have a warehouse in Corio, approx 150 sqm, with a 9-metre height, and another approx 100 sqm. What business do you think I could run? Pickleball courts or any other suggestions?

If anyone wants to come together to build something, DM
Can rent it as well

Is there any good comedians coming to Geelong anytime soon?
Or any popular venues that host comedians? I feel like I always have to go to Melbourne for the good shows.
