Moving advice

Hi, Just got a job offer in Rocky and will start working in a few months. Been in Brisbane for most of my time in Australia, so looking at getting a car before starting work.

Never owned or bought a car. So comparing getting a used or dealer demo car between Rocky or Brisbane, what would you recommend for the price/convenience?

Thanks for the advice🙏

Laughing at the guy wearing Trump board shorts yesterday in ED.

I was like, you wouldn't be getting free healthcare if he was your prime minister. (I actually didn't say anything I'm a chicken.)

r/Rockhampton Updates

Hey all,

Below are some things I would like to update everyone on:

  • As some of you have seen the AMA is up, its just a little thing I want to try out every now and then to get some growth and interactivity in the sub, go check it out if you haven't already.
  • I have added some things to the subreddit's main page, most of these changes are on the 'sidebar' section of the front page of the subreddit. On desktop, while looking at the subreddit it is to the right of the page and on mobile, also while looking at the sub it is under the "see more button" under the title.
  • A part of the changes to the side bar is the addition of a calendar as a sort of community notice board which, by sending a mod mail can be reviewed and added. Keep an eye out for when more is added.
  • I will be adding quick-links to things like See It Live for the Pilbeam and the RRC events page (suggestions welcome).

Let me know anything else you would like to see happen here and I'll do my research and get up.

Enjoy your night everyone!

Rockhampton region AMA

This is the first of potentially more community AMA's.

I have done a bit or research (reading other AMA's) and have decided to do it a little different. I'm not interesting and nobody will care if I give my miniscule life story so I'm going to flip the norms of AMA's:

Ask each other. My idea of this is to find links in the community and connect it further while also bringing on more members. Letting people find each other and their interests. It could be as simple as "Is there anyone that has experienced this thing", keep it light, keep it happy, keep it sensible and stay anonymous (comments and/or the post will get deleted if it isn't). If you see someone's question and you know someone who may be able to answer it bring them along and get them involved too.

Hopefully this will turn into a great community event that we can replicate further in the future and build on.

I'll leave you all with a prompt which I will keep ultra broad:

  • Town life. What people do day to day.

Ask away!

Note: There is a filter at the top of the AMA post that has answered and unanswered questions, I will write "Answered" in a comment to mark it as answered.

Top 100 in Towns and places

Thanks to everyone for being here.

It might not seem that big of a deal but I got the notification.

We have broke position 100 on the towns and places leaderboard. I can't tell exactly what position right now (I'm on mobile at the moment). But we did it.

Later this week I will be also trying to put up an AMA to boost the sub a little. I just need to read into it a little more to set it up properly. I'll keep everyone updated on that one.

Thank you again to everyone for participating, I just wanted to share this little achievement in growing this sub for our city.

Park Avenue dogs

Honestly, I have absolutely never had an issue with dogs barking in any town I've lived in before. But this street is absolutely incessant with dogs barking say and night non stop. it's the one that almost screams that makes me really anxious like, the poor thing. But I work night shifts at the hospital and I can't even get a wink of sleep with headphones in during the afternoons now. I don't understand how the actual owners don't go insane. There's too many houses with noise to even make a complaint, and ive never wanted to complain before.

Looking for friends

Im 28M living here on rocky for almost 9 years but never made any friends since I know almost no one in here. I came here when I was 19years old had aquiantances from work but nothing really close. Just recently I started hitting the gym, training muay thai and joined a touch football club. It may seem that I have something going on but I've been doing everything solo.

I wished I had mates who share the same passion or who is interested in what I do and I'll be happy to tag you in. If you have hobbies you'd like to share I'd be happy to try it too.

The solitude is just unbearable, my dms are dry, no one to talk to, no one to do things with. The weekends is just the worst I stare at my ceiling feeling so emtpy and ending up staying on bed all day. Idk how I managed to tank this for almost 9 years.

Nicotine pouches

What is the interest like in Rocky for nicotine pouches like Zyn's? Mainly thinking of people who want to give up vaping etc.

Bos's Creek: What might have been

But for an administrative oversight the City of Rockhampton might have had a future and flood-proofed airport, sixty-five years ago

Are there ghosts in South Rocky Cemetery?

Planning to relocate to a cheap rental property beside the cemetery. I can’t see ghosts but my partner is spooked and doesn’t want to pursue the property. Should I back out?
