Best Shisha in Geelong

Best Shisha bar in Geelong?

Been to the one on Moorabool Street (2 cousins) I think it’s called? And wasn’t a fan. Flavours were dull and left me with a headache

Homers

My partner found some Homers near the Barwon river. They were awesome. I feel sorry for the person who dropped them.

Does anyone else like speed cameras?

Personally I like speed cameras

I always drive atleast 5-10km under the limit so that way i've never been booked by one. It also makes barely any difference to travel times.

Does anyone else also like speed cameras?

Found a baby bird that has been alone on the ground since at least ~11:30am. Just brought it home because it seems abandoned or kicked out of its nest. Looking for an iD and tips on care

The picture is here: https://i.imgur.com/v1HYruc.jpeg

I walked past it twice today, first time at just past 11:30am and told myself if it was still there when I went back a third time, I'd try to take care of it. It was cowering in amongst leaves and shrubbery. Picked it up at about 6:30pm as it was starting to get cold.

Any advice or links will be greatly appreciated. I will provide any updates as an edit to this post.

Edit: It's young enough that when I look at it above it opens its mouth to be fed. Just no idea what to safely feed it, or how to hydrate it.

Edit 2/Final Edit: Not going to be a saga, this one. I took it to the vet. They have advised that it is a Mudlark and they've taken it into their care. I was told it's already eating and it will be OK.

Any PCP in the area willing to take cash?

Wifey needs to see a doc SAP and we haven’t had time to get Medicare reinstated since moving back. Would appreciate a rec on someone that would be willing to see us before that happens.

Car Sharing

G'day fellow lovers of Hoops

I'm moving into town and considering ditching my money pit for bicycles and a more communal approach when I need the fossil fuel powered option.

Just wondering about people's experience of car shares in Geelong.

Car availability, are they in decent spots, booking issues, customer service, best providers in G, that kinda thing.

I'm not expecting an overwhelming response given most of us own our cars etc.

Thanks in advance

Queenscliffe Music Fest '24

Hi! I (F32) I'm new to Melb this year from Canada, and bought tickets to QMF a long time ago. My one good friend I've made can no longer go. Wondering if there's anyone going (preferably female but guys and a little group is cool too!) who might be up to connecting before or at the festival. I'm pretty good at making friends, but would love to have a friendly face to see when I get there to get me started.

Also is there no QMF subreddit? Can't seem to find one.

For friends-making purposes I am a music loving Canadian gal, recently immigrated to Aus and love all things live music, beaches, sailing, gin, and obviously...camping at music festivals. Yeehaw!

Vet recommendations please !

My cat has been having ongoing issues and my usual vet has emptied my bank account without getting any closer to a resolution. Goodle reviews are flooded with bought reviews or sponsored pages.

I will do anything to help my boy and am beyond stressing.

Any help will be seriously appreciated

The Geelong Comedy Festival is back for its second year

If you weren't aware, the Geelong Comedy Festival kicks off this week. Last year was the festival's first and it has grown exponentially since then with heaps of great acts doing shows this year. If anyone's looking for recommendations, my picks are Dane Simpson, Oliver Coleman and Brett Blake.

I'm also doing a show (yes, this is shameless self-promotion) so if you want to take a punt on someone you've probably never heard of it would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, check out any of the 20+ shows on this week, it's a stacked program!

Dentist recommendations

I’m looking recommendations for a new dentist to go to just for my annual checkup/teeth clean. With the one I was seeing, I wasn’t happy with their lack of bedside manners and unwillingness to listen to me when explaining issues at my last appointment so I’m wanting to find someone else.
