Dentists in Townsville

Hey everyone! My partner has had terrible experiences with dentist in the past and we are looking for a dentist that has a decent bedside manner, that also offers payment plans. Would love to hear of a dentistry/dentist that comes close to these requirements. We tried 1800 smiles in Belgium gardens and it honestly left my partner physically and emotionally traumatized. Thanks in advance 😃

Camping spots around the area?

Can anyone recommend some good camping areas around the city for solo camping? From what I could see there's some Bluewater campsites and crystal creek and paluma. Extra points for places I can have a fire :P

Are there any restaurants that sell curried sausages?

Sunday is my little sisters birthday, and she's insisting on curried sausages for dinner, but my mum wants to take her out to a restaurant.

So, does anyone know a good restaurant where you could get curried sausages?

Recommendations PLEASE

Can anybody please recommend a good quality psychic medium in the Townsville area? Thanks in advance !

EDIT: looking for a face to face reading, happy to pay within reason, highly reviewed online would be ideal as well as I know this industry can be shady at the best of times and places.

Anywhere local that sells cheese curds?

Every once in a while I get the urge to try some Poutine but cheese curds don't seem to be a thing really in Australia let alone Townsville.

Wondering if there are any delis or specialty shops about that carry it?

Dogs and snakes

Heya just moved to house in Railway Estate from NZ. I have two dogs (west highland terriers, about 12kg each)

Just wondering how safe they are to be left outside unsupervised? Our neighbours said a brown snake was seen across the street a few days ago.

When is snake season in Townsville or any other general tips to keep them safe. As they are terriers they have a higher prey drive.

Thanks!

Rank these suburbs pls

Hi guys!

I've finally made the move from Dubbo (regional nsw) to Townsville.

I am currently trying to buy a house, my budget is around 450k.

Are you guys able to rank these suburbs that fit my budget (yes I know these suburbs have a bad rap, but it's all I can afford) Wulguru Heatley Kirwan Vincent Condon Rasmussen Kelso

My initial thoughts is to buy something in wulguru, because it is closer to the city, and also next to the more desired suburb of annandale. I'm hoping it will gentrify over time. A real estate agent also told me driving to wulguru will be a lot better traffic compared to driving west towards the other suburbs. Is this true? I'm taking everything the agent tells me with a grain of salt.

I will be checking out multiple houses in wulguru this week, is anyone able to share which pockets/streets to avoid? It seems like there's a very large disparity in the suburb, with some houses selling for 300s, while others sell for 600+.

Would appreciate your thoughts!

Thank you so much

need some advice as an international student

Hi everyone! I am an international student from Singapore that is aspiring to pursue marine sciences in Australia. I have received an offer from JCU for a Bach in marine sci for study period 2. However upon further digging, I have noticed some mixed reviews about the school.

Although it seems evident that the marine science courses offered at JCU are reputable, various reviews about outdated study material and the quality in the teaching are frowned upon. I am also curious about in campus accommodation as well.

I am just anxious about the whole thing.. moving away from family and into a completely new country, Id just like to get myself mentally prepared for what's to come. If anyone has any advice or would like to share their experiences having studied/are currently studying at JCU. Please do share them. I would really appreciate it! It would alleviate some of my anxiety about enrolling here !

Question about JCU Uni Bar

So I have never been there, and have no idea about the place other than its at the uni. However I just found out a band I like is playing there soon (The Rubens), and I was wondering how weird it is for someone in their 30s to go to the uni bar? Not sure if I'm going to go because it feels weird to me but I kind of want some other peoples opinions haha
