I live in Fairy Meadow - anyone else lost power more than once tonight?

Edit: Out again, feels long term this time

What is so special about these hoodies? Are they lined with goose down or something? I took my kids shopping for mothers day today and we were at Stockland Shellharbour for no more than 1 hour and we counted 14 different people wearing one of these things. What gives?

Does anyone have good local tutors for a year 11 standards math students? Flexible timing would be great!

Hi all,

Hope everybody’s having a great weekend.

I was wondering if anybody has a recommendation for a psychologist/therapist that specialises in men’s mental health?

Asking for my fiancé.

Cheers

Just being nosy really, but anyone know what's going on in town tonight? Heaps of police/ambo/fire trucks on Church St at McCabe Park and also Cnr of Keira and Burelli St...

Alrighty guys long term follower 2nd time poster in the group. A bit about me so basically I’m 20 currently a truck driver working in Sydney live in gong just looking for some like minded people to meet for some new friends etc I like getting outdoors fishing, boating, 4wd trips and just getting out in general. DMs are open.

I’m making plans to travel to Sydney next weekend and I’m wondering how safe it is at Helensburgh train station?

Could I leave my car there and reasonably expect it to be fine the next morning? Alternatively, if I come back around 11pm would that be safe to transfer from train back to car?

I’d probably prefer a less isolated rail stop but it is definitely more convenient so just thought I’d check if anyone knows what the vibe there is after dark.

Heyoo so i've moved closer to the wollongong area from further south, I would really love to go around to some new op shops. I used to go to the Warilla Salvos a lot so i know of that one and how good it is, but if there's any other smaller ones around/near by?

Researchers at UOW and the ANU are seeking participants from the Illawarra, Shoalhaven, or Sydney regions for a research study examining how food intake choices and overeating behaviours are influenced by hormones in people with depression. The study will involve a 60-minute visit to UOW where participants will be asked to give one small blood sample, complete an interview and questionnaires, and have basic body measurements taken. Participants who complete the study will receive a small reimbursement for their time. Individuals may be suitable if they are over 18 years of age, have English skills, and are currently experiencing depressive symptoms, including increased appetite.

This morning there are bagpipes playing and people marching, they just passed auburn st. Anyone know what it’s for? I saw a bunch of banners but couldn’t make out what they were. Seemed like lots of different flags and symbols

Anyone in Illawarra have a spare moonboot they ain’t using or know where I could hire one? Today cheers

Wondering if anyone knows where a JP is available today/tomorrow? Preferably in Corrimal.

I’ve checked and can only find Wollongong library tomorrow morning - however seeing if there’s anywhere closer to home.

I have been looking for jobs in wollongong. I have worked in restaurants for one year as a front and back staff. I would like to switch from hospitality to retail or some other sector where the physical work is less. I tried seek, indeed but didn’t really worked for me.

I will prefer working in a marketing role since i will be graduating soon.

Would really appreciate if anyone has any leads

I've tried the tattoo shop in Thirroul and most recently Moe & Co in Corrimal.

Both are fine but I used to work shift work and could make it in easily during work hours and now with a 9-5 it's much harder to find myself there for a haircut.

Wondering if anyone had any suggestions. I'm fine with a middle of the road haircut, I don't need a towel shave and a glass of whiskey while I get my haircut.

I have been with Coles (uses Optus) yearly plan and it has lot of black spots throughout the journey. I am looking for a better one so I could work while on the go? Or is everything the same??

Anyone hear that ? I’m on Hillcrest street, that sounded like it exploding before the power shut off lol

I am a vocalist and was just wondering if there is interest out there for singing lessons, all ages and abilities welcome, $60ph.

Trust me when I say that anyone can learn to sing with a bit of guidance and practice!

Cheers. Sean.

Hey gong

I have a 1 year old beagle x spaniel that is not responding well to a move. Everything sets him off & he is barking 24/7. Once a very placid and quiet dog. Where we have moved has a lot more dogs and noises that he hadn’t heard before in an apartment.

Basically I’m at my end, and need support. I’ve googled and done all the “right” things (so I thought) and it’s time for professional help for someone to watch me and make sure I’m sending him the right messages.

I would be extremely grateful if anyone could recommend someone who is really great - my dog knows all the basics but it goes out the window and his barking is quite manic. It’s interfering with my sanity and causing a lot of distress. I love him but I’m starting to resent the barking and I know it’s only a reflection of my training.

Please help.

Thank you 🙏

Looking for the best BJJ gym in the gong. I am a current student so dont have the biggest budget and would like to keep it under $50 if possible, lower the better. If you can put recommendations and prices please :)

Hey hey! I'm Tom, 22 and born and raised around here, looking to expand my social circle a bit,, finding it hard to make friends and stuff and university clubs haven't really been it for me in the past. I'm into astrology, art and video games.
I also go to the gym 2-3 times a week and go for a walk/run when I can. I'm currently studying a Bachelor of Primary Education at UOW and really just looking for people to talk to/socialise/hang out!

Hi! I was looking for somewhere I could find hitting partners in Wollongong/shire. I’ve played before so don’t need lessons, just somebody to practice with.

I used to play and am getting back into it and would love to have a buddy around my age (30s).

Does anybody know where I could find people? All the local comps seem to be doubles as well and I’m much more interested in singles.

Ideally free or cheap. One of our favourite things is riding our bike to different parks along the bike track but looking to spice things up.

Hey legends,

My car was stolen from the Beaton Park Leisure Centre/Tennis Club today. Cops are involved and everything.

Just throwing out a Hail Mary if anyone manages to spot it.

Hello ladies and gentlemen

I need a good place to party in Wollongong if possible with classy people or good vibes at least.
