Security Camera Systema

Hi everyone,

Just wondering what the consensus was for wired vs wireless systems here.

Anyone had issues with either, like detection and use in prosecution.

Any recommendations for either option, like companies or camera brands?

Killers concert. Just didn't do it for me. Thoughts?

Disclosure... I am not a Killers fan but I am a Jet fan. I also went with people that love them Jet and honestly had it being just Jet alone, I would have paid double the ticket price. I still don't know why, but for me it's Killer's monotonous voice and guitar. Every bloody song sounds the same. Same beat too. It's just nah nah nah...and more nah nah with the same tone all throughout. I am a boomer I admit, but yeah they just don't do it. Pink concert on the other had was out of this world! Please come back Pink!

Pilates in Townsville?

So hey everyone. I posted recently about moving to Townsville. I'm curious if there's any dedicated Reformer Pilates studios around? Or even any Pilates studios that also offer Reform? From a Google search I mostly found only Mat classes. I'm also curious about regular gym recs for more central Townsville? I'm looking into finding a PT for a few sessions a week

Killers Concert/Stadium Park and Ride

Hiya! First post here, I'm a huge fan of The Killers going to the concert tomorrow. It will be my first time going to the Stadium and I'm currently living Kirwan-side so walking isn't an option for me. Having weighed up my options I think the Lou Lister Park and Ride option seems like the best for me, but having never used it was just wondering what I should expect? The shuttle service starts at 5:30 — could anybody who has used this service for a similar scale event before advise me as to when I should arrive at the park if I want to get a spot? Is it chock-o-block to the point I need to be in at like 2 if I want to be able to park, or is there ample space for the average turnout? Also if anyone has any other suggestions or tips for my first TSV stadium experience, would greatly appreciate it!

Any knowledge would be a great help!

PlayStation Local Community.

Hey guys, hope the week is not treating you too harshly in this heat! Anyway, I wanted to make a thread for loads of us, looking to find other like-minded gamers to add for our multiplayer experiences, etc. I figure if it’s North Queenslanders, we can probably organize times easily.

A little about me, I’ve been gaming for two decades now in my 30s I enjoy most of my time on the PS5, jamming most nights throughout the week and sometimes through throughout the day as well, depending other commitments etc.

I really enjoy cooperative games ideally I’m looking for people playing the following, but in no way limited to:

  • Diablo IV (Casual)
  • Battlefield V
  • No man’s sky
  • The Division 2
  • The Crew: Motorfest
  • Medieval Dynasty (New co-op village builder)
  • War Thunder / World of Warships

So as you can see, there’s a mix of Action/Rpg, Shooters, Racing and simulation. I do own a lot of games, but I wouldn’t say I’m a hard-core player, I just enjoy chilling out and having a laugh with other like-minded people. If your game is not on this list, please still hit me up because there’s a good chance I have it and it would be great to start something fun locally, any questions or suggestions hit me up guys have a great day!

Moving to Townsville from the Hunter Valley

I am considering moving to Townsville from the Hunter Valley into a more stable and better paying job, but I have primarily heard bad things about the city (from people have either never lived or even been there). Is anyone able to give some perspective on how it compares to the Hunter?

[Advice] 20F nervous about FIFO- what's the vibe like with men on site? Friendly or intimidating

20F australian here and I'm thinking about getting into FIFO because I need the money and feel a bit lost with my career direction. I've been told FIFO could be a good option, either in WA or QLD. I'm considering starting as a utility worker and figuring out my next steps from there -whatever role inspires me. I'm physically fit (I hit the gym regularly), so the hard work doesn't worry me, but the idea of flying into a male-dominated environment does.

Will the guys on site look after me, or should I be concerned about fitting in?

Would love some reassurance or advice

Also, if you have some job recommendations in Aus and don't want to post it public, feel free to DM me here or insta, whatever works for you :)

Costco in Townsville?

Ok so after years of wishing we had Aldi here, we finally got one, and yet I've only been there once. I found my counter experience abysmal and slower than Coles, due to a technical fault, but I am sure it's all good there now? Do people still go there often? So, let's talk about Costco. Do you think it will ever open a store here, considering it's by membership only? I think it would do better than Aldi and really give our two bemoths a run for their money. It certainly would remove the scum feral shoppers that are trying to steal and products are at almost cost price. I say bring it please!

Troy-Boy

Hi fellow Townsvillians,

I've been reading the stories about Troy Thompson and his suspension on full pay. Nice one Troy.

As a former resident and rate payer, I'm not pleased about this. I am drafting a letter to the Minister for local government to see what she says. I don't accept that he should be on full pay while basically suspended.

What do you think? What should I write to the Minister?

Drink spiking

Went to Hot as Hell gig with a friend a couple of weeks ago at the Kirwan tavern. Was having a great night then went down hill very rapidly ended up up under a tree in a paddock with no idea how I got there and massive gaps in my memory. Of course my friend isn't talking to me after this. Upon talking to other people about this they said I've had a spiked drink. Has anyone had similar experiences?

Recommendations for a hairdresser? (picture attached)

Looking for a warm coloured Balayage, still tossing up on colours, and more layers in my hair. Im pretty young so i like the not-so-subtle layering, natural lying hair (no curling or etc needed) and would like a hair stylist who can do this sort of thing well :) Other question would be what can i expect the prices to be for this sort of thing? i know its not cheap and if given a saloon i can check their prices anyways. Thank you

Psychology

I'm looking for a reasonably priced Psychologist located in Townsville. My old one is moving at the end of this month and I would like to continue therapy with someone else. I've already tried Head Space and On Bundock and a couple others that I can't remember but am not interested in going to these places again. I also have a preference for female psychologists, specifically ones that specialise in autism (and other issues that relate such as anxiety, depression and anger). So if anyone has any recommendations, please lmk.

Latinx Presence

I’m going to be moving to Townsville soon and wanted to know a bit about latino presence in the area.

I know Australia doesn’t generally have large populations of Latinx people but wanted to see what the general vibe is. Also if there were any grocers/stores in Townsville that carry Hispanic food products. Thanks.

Red Tailed Black Cockatoo - feather

Hi all. My partner loves the red tailed black cockatoos and I was hoping to find a tail feather for a Christmas gift. I haven’t had any luck searching the esplanade or their other spots. Has anyone found one and would be willing to let me buy it off them?
