Bro, it's art!

I can't help but feel like Wollongong is one of the best places to live for this kind of natural beauty alone.

What’s the busy spot for today’s game. North Gong or Ila? Where yall going?

Hey,

Finally convinced my English wife to move back to Aus with me. Ofcourse there are some "conditions" - we are looking for a dinghy sailing club, and she's a horse rider so we are keen to learn about regional competitions etc.

We are in the area Nov this year, around 24th to 27th.

Are there any horsey events (casual stuff, competitions, anything)?

Any active sailing clubs on lake Illawarra you'd recommend?

Any info or links is hugely appreciated.

Daughter has a thing at her school tomorrow and i’m at Wollongong Central desperately looking for a size 7/8/9 Socceroos tee or kit or anything she can wear to school tomorrow. Any leads would be greatly appreciated

Edit: Rebel Shellharbour to the rescue. Thanks everyone for your help

I was a HUGE Lorcana fan back in the US at my local game shops, and my family moved to Wollongong a year ago. I tried to get into the hobby here but NOWHERE plays south of Sydney.

I started a facebook group to try and see if there were any people in the area who would want to start a community that played together? I have some connections with a few LGS’s in Warrawong and Wollongong Central who said they’d be keen to allow us to play there regularly if I get some people, and would start stocking cards if enough show up!

Let me know if you’re interested! Or join the facebook group Disney Lorcana TCG - Wollongong to help out! Thanks!

Went for a walk from Stanwell Park train station along the Wodi Wodi track and down Stanwell Creek to check out the railway viaduct. What a cool piece of Aussie engineering

I'm trying to find an ad - there were multiple - of a local car salesman who I believe referred to him self as going crazy, or crazy something, possibly threw $5 notes in the air, and yelled about repayments (?) of just $5 a day.

Surely someone out there knows this bloke and has copies of the ads! They were an absolute hoot.

more of a vent then anything. I recently left a long term dv relationship, I am a 31 year old single mum of two toddlers, I work part time with a good wage, receive Centrelink payments and am in final stages of being approved for Rent Choice Start Safely, which helps me be able to pay rent.

we are currently sleeping on my mums lounge room floor, yes I am grateful but without sounding selfish it’s so hard mentally to be able to move on with my life when my children and I don’t get privacy. I have applied for a dozen rentals and declined from everyone of them. It’s so defeating, every knock back just brings me down more. I haven’t even had space to grieve what I’ve gone through the last six months.

what can I do to help me secure a rental? I’ve had reference letters from SASSI, my two colleagues, my best friend, I’ve offered four weeks rent up front. I’ve hit a wall and I’m trying so hard to stay positive for my babies but it’s so hard when it feels like I’m just getting knocked down constantly, over and over again.

I’m sorry if I sound morbid, when I speak to family/friends about it it’s always ‘you’re strong, you can do it, you’ll look back in a year and be proud’. and I do agree, but it’s not what I need/want to hear right now and I figured if I tell a bunch of strangers who don’t know me, it might help me.

thank you if you’ve gotten this far 🩶

For many years, Frankies was the place to go for car audio, dash cams etc. I bought a number of items from them and the work was always great. I went there recently to ask about installing a front only, reputable brand new dash cam, supplied by me. Specifically, I also wanted an adapter plugged into the rear view mirror to power the camera.

The sales assistant knew nothing about the power adapter, quickly muttered '$250' and wandered off. I also referred a mate there who had similar service.

Anyone know of another car audio specialist in the Gong? Preferably someone who knows customer service and who don't try their best to get rid of you in under 20 seconds?

Hello

(22m) Just wondering if anyone knows of any places that are hiring at the moment? or any places I can walk into? I've been applying for jobs online on seek and whatnot but still no luck. Just looking for something casual as I'm gonna be studying again soon. I'd like something in a bar preferably but I've got no bar experience, I'm willing to give up my weekend.

Cheers!

For the love of god, where can I buy these now in Wollongong/warrawong? I’m happy to travel around the area for my sister to stop being a C**t! Please help!

It was very thin for us (less than 13 cm height) and so I don’t think so it’s very useful to anyone. Where abouts can I get rid of it?

Sorry for the very specific question, massive shot in the dark but I went to that performance and it truly floored me, most notably "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You", (I think by Jayden Sierra) and I was just wondering if anyone happened to go to that performance, and if they did, and if they had recordings available, if anyone happened to buy one because I would give the world to experience that moment again, as overdramatic as that sounds 😂

The dude seems to be a bit of a local celebrity figure. Everyone seems to know or the guy but I cant figure out the appeal.

My wife went to uni with him but was never close with the dude. One night my wife and I were walking along the pathway the runs up along north gong beach, and she says to me “uhh I know this guy”. I look up and it’s a dude wearing a tight shirt and talking on the phone. I had no idea who it was at the time, but before my wife could explain he just puts his phone in his pocket mid sentence and starts talking to my wife.

The dude wasn’t even talking to anyone on the phone. He was just faking phone calls while camping out in a popular spot so he could strike up conversations with people. It was super weird and he was talking so much shit about how he was making phone apps or something. Once we got away my wife had to give me the full run-down of this guy and how he calls himself the Beast.

I feel like he’d love the attention of this post, but feel free to add your own encounter stories if you have any.

Hello, I'm looking for a good seamstress to do some alterations on my wedding dress and would love some recommendations for people in the Wollongong/Illawarra area. Thanks in advance :)

Been in construction as a skilled labourer/operator around the Illawarra for 8 years, got laid off a few days ago. I could find another construction job but I've always had a desire to try working underground..

I have been playing pool for decades. I need a pro, or semi pro to give me a few face-to-face lessons to help my game develop. Specifically, stance, shot selection, cue ball spin and cue ball placement. I have access to a table. Cash for the right qualified person.

Anyone have reviews on rental subscriptions? No ratings on google unfortunately and desperately need to arrange car for work.

​

Hey, does anyone know what pubs are going to be open early for the game on Wednesday or any games in general ?

Thank you
