Gotta love it when the hivemind blocks M1 because they all have to go to the same beach on the same day at the same time

Nerang spiritual church

Does anybody remember the nerang spiritual church would do readings once a month I think and there were like 6 or more members that did various styles of readings for like $10.. this was like 30years ago..

I remember sitting down with 4 different psychics all in the one day as a full sceptic not giving them anything to use to cold read me and 3 of 4 were incredibly accurate! One guy used crystals to do reading , another tarot another just held my hand..

Anyways does anybody know if this place still operates and if they still do these monthly readings ?

Seeking Your Invaluable Insights on Southern Cross University, Gold Coast

Hi everyone,

I'm an international student starting my MASTER'S IN SOCIAL WORK at Southern Cross University this October and moving to the Gold Coast. I would love to hear about your experiences at SCU. How would you rate the faculty and the learning environment? How effective was the university's support in helping you secure post-degree work placements and ultimately a job?

Any advice or insights you could provide about Southern Cross University would be immensely helpful. Additionally, I'm looking for part-time work, ideally in the healthcare industry. What kind of part-time jobs can I expect to find?

For context, I'm a 23-year-old female with a Master's degree in Psychology from overseas (which isn't accredited in Australia).

Thank you so much for your help!

Social co working spaces?

I’m feeling pretty isolated working from home full time. My company is based in Melbourne, and I do occasional trips down there and really enjoy the social aspect of an office/work drinks. Does anyone else on the Goldie experience something similar? I’ve tried going to some coworking spaces, but everyone looks so busy working and since we don’t work for the same company, getting beyond small talk is hard!

Any recommendations for nice atmosphere balancing work and social?

Cheers

Food Challenges on the Gold Coast?

Hi,

Out of curiosity we were wondering if you know of any food eating challenges on the Gold Coast?

Currently we are aware of these:

  • Ze Pickle’s burger challenge and STFU burger in Burleigh Heads,
  • Choofas' XXXL Aussie Burger in Coolangatta,
  • Longboard’s Phat Bastard Burger in Surfers Paradise,

But do you know of any others?

We obviously tried to Google this as well, but that just came up with outdated information with restaurants that have long closed down operations, etc. So we were hoping you had some insights on the matter.

Cheers!

How safe is Robina / Varsity Lakes?

Considering a move to one of these areas from New Zealand but I am concerned about the crime. Is it really bad in these areas or relatively safe? Thanks!

[Searching] Advice on coding

Hope everyone is having a great day. Im an international carpenter, have been on the tools for the past 7 years now, since I moved to Australia. At this point I can pull at least 85k AUD a year working as a chippy. Have a full time job. But Im getting old, I’m 27 now, and my body is starting to feel it. My whole life Ive been into technology, and I’ve been considering a career change for the next 3 years. Recently I purchased a desktop with a nice setup, and I’be been trying to get into the coding world, firstly as curiosity that eventually could lead to a job. I know its gonna take time, and demand effort. As my life is right now, I could dedicate 2h a day for studying (initially on my own). I learn fast, have some spare time, been researching about HTML. As a construction worker I understand about PROCESSES, and mistake fixing. Can anyone enlighten me? Any sort of informations. Where to start from, any piece of information/advice is highly appreciated. Please help a fella get off the tools.

Are there any good mechanical engineering companies in goldcoast

Don’t know if it’s the right sub to ask but I’m pursuing my masters in mechanical engineering at Griffith, I just wanna know which all are the good companies, where I could do an internship? I’ve been applying for heaps in Brisbane but I’m getting rejected as I don’t have much experience. I don’t mind doing unpaid internships if it’s available.

Thanks in advance

Best pubs/deals on the coast?

Saw the ‘worst pubs’ post - how about the pubs that are offering great deals/vibes?

My vote is the mermaid tav - $5.50-$6 happy hour tap beers and 2-for-1 meals on Mondays but not a huge vibe though.
