Good Auto Electrician?

Anyone know an auto electrician who doesn't rip people off or act condescending? We've had a few completely unhelpful ones and still have car problems.

Thank you.

Saw a lot of people talking about how R/Brisbane has a lot of issues with people being knobs, so guess who is the new owner of r/Brissie.

It's all the public art

Any mods about? I'd love to get access to some post flairs - maybe memes, question, discussion, ect.

And if it's not tooooo much. Maybe even some user flairs? Coming in from the western plains, fighting it out on the freeway, ect.

Let's class this place up a little!

Ungerrmann Brothers

Hi. On Saturday night we went to UB for dessert and there was only one other group in there. They only had a few flavours of ice cream and none of them were the unusual ones that we love (particularly fairy bread and carrot cake). It was just chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. I had the vanilla and it tasted like home brand vanilla. My partner had a strawberry sundae and it was just strawberry ice cream without any toppings or strawberries. When I questioned the girl she added some fresh strawberries. I don’t blame the staff as they seem to be very young but for the last six months whenever we’ve been there we have either not been able to order what we want because they’ve run out or what we do order is subpar. Has anyone else had this experience?

The mowing paradox

I need to mow, but to mow, I need the yard to dry out. The grass is so long, it won't dry unless I mow.

I'm on 2.5 acres (1Ha) near Rosewood. Lots of water out here over the last 2 weeks.

Rail Call Grows Louder as Ipswich Population Skyrockets

A South-East Queensland council says its proposed rail line would unlock 20,000 homes as it grapples with a population tipped to more than double by 2046.

The Ipswich City Council has renewed calls for a 25km line between the city and Springfield Central, to be known as the Ipswich-to-Springfield Central public transport corridor or I2S. It first proposed the plan in 2006.

Ipswich mayor Teresa Harding said the line was needed to drive more housing in the area as demand rose along with Ipswich’s population, which is expected to hit 533,000 by 2046, a dramatic increase on the 251,000 population of 2023.

“Ipswich is now forecast to grow at a faster rate than any other council in Queensland over the next 20 years, with our population set to more than double in this time,” Harding said.

“Seventy per cent of the growth in Ipswich is occurring along this critical corridor, yet most of these booming suburbs are serviced by hourly bus services or not at all.”

Harding and other councillors believe the I2S would boost the delivery of 20,000 more homes in the area.

The proposal for the I2S includes nine stations connecting Ripley, Redbank Plains and Yamanto with Ipswich and Brisbane.

Swanbank, Ripley North, Deebing South, Springfield Central and the University of Queensland are the other proposed stations.

A temporary train station at Ripley Town Centre has been built by the Ipswich city councillors as part of the campaign.

The council said the I2S would be an alternative to cars for more than 200,000 people and take more than 68,000 cars off the road.

Hello from Ipswich, England!

Hello!

I'm from the Ipswich in England! How is life over in Queensland? It should be getting to summer round there if I'm correct so make sure to wear your sun cream! Over in Ipswich in England, It's a dump tbh. It's really trash here. We are a swing seat but as of this year we are under the labor party. There's quite a big music scene around here, which I'm a part of. I actually recently met Ed Sheeran when he showed up at a rehearsal of mine. (cause he's from here) which was pretty cool. I don't like his music though to be honest.

So yeah! What's life over in your Ipswich?

Experiences on r/Brisbane ?

I’ve been checking out r/(Brisbane) lately. People act like they’re better than everyone else just cause if you live in Logan or Ipswich.

To top it off, a mod even messaged me and called me a racial slur— like actually Wtf? I feel like reporting it does nothing sadly

But makes me appreciate how much better and friendlier this community is.

Just Posting here to see if anyone else had a similar experience?

What Happened At Redbank Plaza?

At Redbank Plaza I found two lower levels of car park + access points closed off with tape and these notices. Don’t attempt to park at the top level, you will get stuck up there in a traffic jam with grumpy drivers.

Epoxy floors?

Hi folks,

Looking at getting some epoxy coating done of a concrete floor, but my partner is unsure of what the texture/feel will be like.

Anyone know of a publically accessible area in or around Ippy (shopping centre, footpath, basketball court etc) that has epoxy installed so we can go have a look at how it feels underfoot/can see if it's worth looking into further without a sales rep hovering around?

Thanks!
