I've noticed particularly bad data network coverage lately with Woolworths Mobile/Telstra and was wondering about other users and areas that may be suffering issues. A few areas in particular are:

- Bulli. Park Road near the highway
- Keiraville. Gipps Rd near Nyrang Park
- Corrimal. Russell St leading from near Aldi to Corrimal phone exchange/highway.

Hey, I know this likely gets posted quite a bit but I was just wondering if anyone here would know any other abandoned spots apart from the common ones (such as cokeworks, hill 60, Fort Drummond)

Basically I am trying to create a big folder on my phone of photographs and videos of abandoned and forgotten Wollongong places and would probably make a folder in Facebook :) Thanks!

I'm looking for aqua or water therapy for my son who has ASD. NDIS registered would be preferred. I've tried Google and it wasn't helpful...

I have vague memories of going to Maccas as a kid in the 80's before they built the one at cholesterol corner near the roundabout, but I can't pinpoint where it was located. I think it was somewhere around Fairy Meadow - maybe the current KFC location?

Hi all I’ve been trying to find a op shop that hosted a sale where you could pick up clothes by the kilo for a couple of bucks, I attended a few years ago maybe 2019-2020. A friend asked me one day to go with her to a particular op shop that was having a sale on, it was a kilo of clothes for $7 per kilo or around that price my memories abit fuzzy on the price I just remember the total of what I spent lol. There was rows as well as these massive cardboard circle things that just had piles of clothes in them for people to go through all of the clothes were sectioned into sizing though and into men’s/women’s/unisex categories.

I cannot for the life of me remember the op shops name or much about this sale I have tried to write down all the information I do remember, one of the things that stands out in my memory is the lady when serving us told us to go on our phones and like the Facebook page of the op shop because we had to show her the post the op shop had made about the sale in order for her to be able to let us have the sale I unfortunately don’t have access to my account I liked the page on so no help there. I also have looked up the location of where this op shop was but the op shop is no longer there or it was a pop up location for the op shop either way I can’t find anything online for it so hopefully this is my next best bet.
I would love to find something similar to this sale, if anyone can remember possibly maybe attending the same op shop at the time or just the name of the op shop, just anything really that can point me in the right direction I would be so happy and thankful. 🙏🏻

(Btw I thought I should mention before anyone says it’s that vintage sale that pops up at the uni/different locations for $50 a kilo this isn’t what I’m referring to, what I am referring to is an actual op shop business who were running a sale for a short time only and the price was $7 not $50 for a kilo of clothes).

We have some non-perishable food items we would like to donate. Does anyone know a Wollongong organisation who distributes to those in nee and we can take it to?

Last night was too hot, I'm ready for an multi split system in 2 rooms of my unit.

Its the ground floor/ lowest unit but still however like 6 meters in the air to install the external piping, will also need to involve strata I bet to get their approval on where to put the unit outside.

Has anyone worked with an installer locally who would be good for such a project? its a bit of a tougher job than most residential installs in a house I bet.

Ideally I would get one external unit mounted chest height on a wall 3-6 meters down from the rooms. I really hope they dont need a cherry picker because I cant imagine how they would get one in easily.

Hey,

Hey guys, I am looking to sell my second hand clothes and want to know if there are any shops that can buy clothes from me. I would have put it in marketplace or online but the clothes are too much to sell one by one.

Please provide any recommendations

Does anyone know why WIN stadium holds such little events outside of sports? I just feel like it’s such a missed opportunity. We lose a lot of potential events to Newcastle - I recall Pink last year initially tried to lineup Wollongong for a show and took it to Newcastle instead. There’s quite a list of artists who have performed in Newcastle and albeit I can’t find a list for WIN stadium.. I recall over the last few years being pretty mid.
