Train into Melbourne?

Hey guys thinking of buying in Corio, I heard about a new train being built that would be a 30 mins ride into Melbourne

You guys know much about it? Has it been built already or is it still being built?

Thanks!!

Mt Duneed Estate Transport?

I'm going to Fatboy Slim at Mt Duneed Estate next month, I've never been to a gig there before. What's the best way to get there and back from Indented Head? I'm guessing I'll have to pre-book Ubers...

Mobile Mechanic

Hey Gbangers, my car won't start and currently held hostage in a carpark in town lol. Tried to jump it, no go, seems most likely a starter motor relay or a cooked battery.

Any recommendations for a mobile mechanic/autoelec that you've used before?

Happy to wait till Monday morn. Cheers legends.

Wedding Accom for 8

Attending a wedding at Rocklea Farm & looking for accommodation recommendations for 8+ people (only one couple). Ideally after something nice w a pool & not too far from wedding venue, but needs to be in a chill neighbourhood/away from neighbours, so we don’t have to go indoors & can enjoy ourselves without worrying about getting reported to noise control. A lot of the places seem to have curfews on the pool use, “quiet times”, no outdoor music etc. While everyone is mid thirties, when the guys get together without their partners they regress to their teenage years.

Drowning down at eastern beach today

Was walking past with our dog today before cadel evans starts and saw a lifeguard and a group of people running up with them to the dive tower where someone was pulled out of the water, apparently an older man who may have had a stroke and wasn't moving when I asked one of the women who ran up with them.

Ambulances rocked up with a trolley but weren't running over so I'm wondering whether they were too late or not.

Anyone happen to see what happened and have any idea if he's alright?

Breamlea Marina Development in the 80s

I remember stories about a proposal to turn the wetland area behind Breamlea into a marina, though I can't find anything to verify it. Does anyone remember anything about this ?

If you could only have ONE (food or drink) ITEM, from ONE PLACE, ONE HOUR drive or less from Geelong, for the rest of your life - what would it be?

I saw this in another subreddit and thought it would be good to steal and try here!

  • ONE item, from
  • ONE bakery, cafe, shop etc
  • ONE hour or less drive from Geelong

For the sake of keeping it local, you aren't allowed to go past Little River in the Melbourne direction.

My pick:

Beef & jalapeno pie, Inverleigh bakehouse

Preserving Jars

Does anyone know where I can get some decent preserving jars from around Geelong?

I've tried the supermarket ones, the Reject Shop ones, and the K-Mart ones and I don't think the quality or the seal is all that good.

Any women actually looking for a serious relationship?

I just wanted to hear from all the single women on this subreddit about the dating scene. Are any of you still on dating apps or pursing a romantic interest through other means? The dating scene is tough I get it, just curious to hear more thoughts from others!

Gheringhap/Little Ryrie noise?

Does anyone else hear the loud bass around 71 Gheringhap street? I think it may be from a nearby bar - the combination of bass palpable in a 7th floor apartment to the sound of drunk people stumbling around is pretty agitating at 4 AM.

WTF Bunnings?

I placed an order via the Bunnings website, and it's heading my way.
From Tarneit?
Meanwhile, the fairly close North Geelong store has (according to the website) everything in stock, including a couple of items that were apparently out of stock, and for which I've been refunded.
What?
