Any insights on Gembrook area?

I've found averages for weather but I'm more curious if it's four season in one day type of weather? Is there a strong sense of community?

Tom Cruise impersonator at Melbourne Church of Scientology?

A handful of years ago, myself and my friend took a Scientology personality test online so that we could enter the Ascot Vale church of Scientology because we were bored and wanted to do something that felt risky so that we could get a thrill from it.

The dude who greeted us and dissected our ‘test’ results was a creep who divulged in his side gig which was impersonating Tom Cruise. I remember searching him up after and found videos of him at large events with a sizeable audience cheering him on, and another video where he proposes to his gf as ‘Tom Cruise’

This weirdo played the friendly facade early on, but once he caught on that we weren’t serious about joining the cult, he quickly became pretty expansionist and ended up saying some xenophobic and racist stuff to me as we were walking out the door.

A long shot but does anyone know what this dudes name?

Best union for hospo worker?

Currently working at the front desk in a hotel in Melbourne CBD. What's the best union for someone like me?

Google says it's "UWU" but frankly, I dont know anything about them.

I'm aware there are employers unions and employee unions, and I'm also aware that some unions are far better than others.

Anyone have and advice?

Ran a red fine

I am a red P plater and I knew that there is a camera at the intersection of Olympic Boulevard so i was going 5 under the speed limit and i should've stopped when i saw the lights turn yellow but i still crossed the lights when they were yellow (at the very last second of it being yellow) and when the lights turned red, i was in the middle of the intersection (as i was already going 5 under the limit) and i saw a flash, I also have a clean record with no offences in the past, if anyone has been in a similar situation or knows if it would be possible to avoid the fine and the demerit points then that would be great appreciated.
thanks

Australian E-Bikes.

Looking to get a Talaria x3 and I live in victoria. How much do cops actually care if you ride them? I wanna get it but I also don’t want the cops to be on my back everywhere i go. I know the laws and the fines for getting caught but how much do the cops actually care? What’s your experience with having e- looking motorcycles and cops? Thanks!

Can you drive a camper van on your L’s?

I can’t find a suitable subreddit to post this in so this is my best shot.

I’ve searched everywhere but i cannot find an answer to if you can drive a camper van on your L’s. I’m going on a road trip with my family so it would be a good time to get the hours in.

The van is bellow 4.5t gvm and seats less than 12 people so you don’t need a special vehicle license to drive it.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

What exactly are VIC's fire laws, especially during fire danger periods?

Hi!

I'm asking for some clarification on here because I'm having trouble fully understanding the answers I got from google.

Some friends and I are going to Phillip Island during the summer hols and we wanted to have a bonfire on the beach. But since it's summer, we just want to make sure we're definitely following rules and not about to burn the place down.

Google says no beach fires are allowed at all at any time. The CFA website says that it's allowed if it follows some constraints. Please can someone confirm what exactly is and isn't allowed?

Thanks!

Excessive flies

My partner and I went to Point Nepean National Park today and were left agitated (along with others) by the amount of flies that would swarm you constantly. Is this a problem state wide at current?
I have previously been there in January with no problems. We're due to go camping next weekend, nearby Lake Eildon (more inland though, away from the water) and I don't know if I want to if it's the same there.
We're not precious people and have camped a lot over the years and haven't experienced this issue to this level. We want to feel recharged after it, cheers!

SENIORS CARDS VICTORIA

I'm about to apply for a Seniors Card and have questions about the process. I generally work slightly less than 35 hours, so I should qualify for the full Seniors Card, but occasionally I do work 35 hours, which would qualify me for the Seniors Business Card. Apart from the online application, what is the verification process? For example, is it an honour system, or do they contact you and ask for payslips that show how often you work? Genuinely asking. *Not a wealthy boomer*

Places in Vic that are akin to places like Palmerston North in NZ

This feels like a funny question, but we've been living in Wellington for a while, got sick of the prices and houses and want to cross the ditch with our family. Looking to move to a place that has:

A lower cost of living (rent, groceries, entertainment) than the average big city

A high enough population that we can find like-minded folk (mainly people that are into board games)

Enough stuff to do that we won't lose our minds.

I actively encourage you to make as many jokes about Palmy as possible, but please let me know if those three key elements seem like they match any town in Victoria. Thank you!
