alternative family owned restaurants than chain owned

I would just like recommendations for moderately priced family owned restaurants in Toowoomba to go out with a bunch of friends, rather than going to chain owned restaurants.

Advice on finding a good, quiet shared house to move into.

Myself (M46) employed in the Lockyer Valley and newish to Toowoomba and surrounds wondering if there is an alternative to fb marketplace and the scammy backpacker groups to hopefully find a house with one or two others around similar age or just not party people, any ideas?

I'm a fitness tragic, non smoker, happy disposition, tidy and clean and hanging around long term. I'll purchase a property eventually (well, that's the plan right!) but just happy to house share for a while and find my feet.

Cheers all.

Best place to find a cheap car with rego and RWC around Toowoomba?

Hi team, not long moved here from NZ and am in need of a daily runner and not sure where to look. Marketplace on Facebook seems to be chock full of thrashed out commodores and falcons without rwc or rego. Don't really want to spend more than $2500 but could possibly stump up more. I know it's not your usual reddit request but any pushes in the right direction are welcome, or if you happen to have a cheap daily, get back to me! Appreciate your time! 👍🏻

Photographer needed

Preparing a car for sale and would like any suggestions on a local photographer to take some photos for the ad.

Vehicle currently being detailed so ideally looking to organise for tomorrow 24/11th or early next week.

Any recommendations greatly appreciated. Even if it’s just someone with a decent camera who’s looking for an afternoon cash job. Thankyou!

any recommendations for a body corporate management company?

hey there,

does anyone have any recommendations for a body corporate management company? I live in a house that has been divided into a number of small units, and I've been lucky enough to have been able to buy one. We're looking at contracting a body corporate management firm to run and manage all the shared grounds, bills, rates, etc.

Good stories and bad stories both welcomed!

Live music Friday nights?

The wife and I are heading out for a rare treat. We used to love bodega for good ol lice cover music. Old school 80’s 90’s, sadly they’re closed now. Anywhere else good these days. We don’t head out much.

USQ is closing Umail access to alumni. Wasn't this forever?

Any USQ Alumni that still use their umail.usq.edu.au account will have received emails to say that access to your umail account, among other USQ IT access, is being deactivated from 27 Feb 2025.

I remember receiving emails that said that we'd have access to our email account forever. Does anyone else remember this and still have a copy of those communications?

TRC to double down and create more traffic chaos.

I was reading a copy of the chronicle (do not judge me) and was horrified to see that after destroying the Margaret and McKenzie intersection they plan to 'fix it' by installing another set of lights at Margaret and Curzon. I'd love to see the traffic plan that documents why they seem to be systematically adding lights where they aren't needed and converting existing lights to that ridiculous four phase design which ensures motorists maximum delays. Why are they spending millions on unneeded lights and next to nothing on public transport initiatives or cycle lanes. TRC you need to stop playing now and get some advice on how to undo the mess you have created.

Want to meet new people

Hey all. 24M here. I work out at the uni and I'm getting a bit stir crazy since my friends/roommates don't go out much. I'm thinking of going to some sewing classes or something. Anyone interested?

Having some women friends would be pretty good because my friends group is a bit of a sausage party but I'm pretty open.
