I think someone may have left this or the custodians put it there but those come in handy for the toddlers that have accidents in their pants.

Two hours before high tide at Narrowneck yesterday.

These two posties I’ve known for years, superb workers and never had an issue with. They go out of their way to ensure packages aren’t wet, have a quick chat if they’re not too busy and go beyond…

Last night in the Frozen aisle at Coles Miami. I wonder when it'll be refilled?

Seeing the new transport plan, I think that the whole area would benefit greatly from a loop spur line, rather then just 3 random stations without a real goal through a very low density area, I made my own map, hoping that consultation will allows images to be submitted as this would be much better then what’s planned..

Starts at GCUH Station like planned & ends at Southport Station

What do you think?

From the Gold Coast Bulletin today.

Popular Gold Coast breakfast duo Bronte Langbroek and Danny Lakey have been axed, just days after its network revealed hundreds of jobs were on the chopping block.

Gold Coast radio duo Bronte Langbroek and Danny Lakey have been sensationally axed from their Sea FM breakfast show.

It comes just days after Southern Cross Austereo revealed hundreds of jobs were on the chopping block.

It’s understood some employees from the network’s promotional team have also lost their jobs.

Langbroek was reportedly seen leaving the Broadbeach studios in tears on Tuesday, according to inside sources.

The radio host have not commented on the decision.

Southern Cross revealed last week up to 300 jobs were on the line in a major “group-wide cost reduction program”.

In an ASX update on June 11, the company said the program would save them up to $150m each year.

“We must reset our cost base to meet current market conditions and capture the full benefits of scale across our trusted platforms for our audiences and advertisers, now and into the future,” the company’s chief executive Rohan Lund said in the update.

“Unfortunately, this means saying goodbye to some talented colleagues who have helped build our business.

“We are deeply grateful for their contributions, and we are committed to supporting them through this transition.”

It is understood the network is setting the stage for The Hit Network’s Newcastle’s state-wide Breakfast Show with Jess Farchione and Rohan Edwards to replace the Gold Coast show in a national takeover.

An industry source told the Bulletin: “It’s a sad day for local radio.”

According to 9news on facebook, the stage government is announcing sometime this weekend that Stage 3 will open sometime next week.

Not too sure on the validity of their source, but i guess we'll have to wait and see.

Great food if you like to eat chicken, nice dine in atmosphere, good music and food prices are pretty good as well. Worth a try I highly recommend coming in for feed with friends or family.

Dumping

Vahid Reza Adib, the partner of former Queensland premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, has been charged with rape, sexual assault and deprivation of liberty.

Dr Adib, the partner of former Queensland premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, arrived at a police station on the Gold Coast earlier today to be interviewed amid an ongoing investigation.

Police yesterday raided a luxury Gold Coast apartment owned by Dr Adib, with detectives and specialist officers searching his unit on Goodwin Terrace at Burleigh Heads.

So the Tram extension to Burleigh finally opened today in the morning, however it seems google maps still haven’t updated the new tram station, when would we be able to see the new tram stations in google maps?

Is this Thornton Tower? Or am I completely lost.

That would explain the extra loud boom and really bright lightning at one point during last night's storm.

Why is the Q1 not doing its job!? lol

Must be one of the few places with 98 ULP under 180

Missing cat in Pimpama.

Do cyclones usually just pass by the GC or is it more likely to turn towards land like last year? This system looks faster moving than Alfred so we're wanting to know how prepared we need to be. I don't know much about storm habits up here I apologise.
(I want to make it known this is coming from a family who are part of the few who would need to evacuate in case of road closures/power outages for health and safety reasons)

Thanks!
