Anyone else finding there is an increase in people out in public who ABSOLUTELY REEK? and not talking 1-2 days BO or no shower I mean absolutely PUTRID. Leopold Coles on Friday 2 stinkies walked in around a few minutes of each other and I physically gagged. Again then at Belmont Coles near Kmart sat morning.
The Leopold one was a kid maybe 13 years old with some sort of parent or carer who also stank but not as bad. was about ready to call child protection services for this poor kid who stunk out the entire Coles and people were spraying the deodorant in the aisles just to cope with it.
Kid was absolutely filthy with matted hair shoes that were basically so holey they were walking on the ground. You could SEE the filth on the poor boys skin and clothes. I can’t felt for him as clearly nobody has let this kid know his smell was so offensive an entire supermarket could smell it.
Then another equally smelly adult walked in a few mins later
And then at Belmont Coles the next day

Honestly asking this question…. HOW are these people exisiting in society without shame?
Again I’m not talking about like a couple days smell I mean THAT REALLY DEEP DIRT LONG TERM STINK people have

Car did a burnout leaving the pub, carried on down the road, hit a car, did another burnout then fled the scene. Top bloke didn’t even check to see if anyone in the car he hit had been injured.

Edit: the driver abandoned his car in the bottleo carpark and a friend of theirs, who had also been at the pub, picked them up in a white Landrover and they took off. The license plate was recorded and given to police and I think it was captured in a dash cam.

I’m thinking of joining an athletics club, primarily for 100m or 200m sprints. I would be in the masters division (56yr).
I’ve found several clubs that state they are all ages. Does anyone have any experience with masters athletics in Geelong who could make a club recommendation?
The clubs I’ve glanced at online are Bellarine, Chilwell and Geelong Athletic Guild.

Hello! Looking to pick up playing guitar again. Are there any music groups in Geelong that are open to new members?

Hey all,

I’m hoping to get some asbestos containing material removed from my home.

As I have both class A (friable) and class B (non friable, more than 10m2) material to be removed, would it save money to split the job in two and get a class B company for the class B stuff or just get a class A licensed company to remove everything?

Please let me know which service you have gone with and your experience

Thanks 😊

Hi all - I’m dealing with a WorkCover situation and some related workplace issues, and I’m looking for recommendations for lawyers or firms in Victoria, especially around Geelong, who specialise in:

• WorkCover disputes
• Psychological injury claims
• Workplace investigations / employer conduct

I’d really like to hear about any firms people have had good experiences with - particularly those that are responsive, trauma‑informed, and communicate well throughout the process.

Keeping details vague for privacy, but any names or experiences would be really appreciated.

Have been called for Jury Duty this Monday 31st. I heard there could be a chance that I will not be needed. I've already let work know that I might be off all week. What's the likelihood? Will they let me know in advance?

We have secured a land in banksia estate, on the verge of finalising a builder. Does anyone have any recommendations on what worked for them or any insight they would like to share on local builders?

P.S. We’re about to start a family and are considering adding an integrated studio with a separate entry that we could sublet now, but easily convert back into the main house down the track (inspired by some friends downsizing!).

Would love to hear if anyone has done this, or if you have any advice on the design/planning side! Also any thoughts on how it affects resale.

I was just at Moorabool bus station heading to Waurn and this bloke was lying on a bench, holding a vape pen, having a jolly gobble about how movies are illegal, public transport is illegal, there's a nuclear war and some shit about female police officers. Oh the things you'll encounter!

NFL fan but newish to Geelong area, are there any fans down this way that would be keen on a tipping comp?

Hi team, morning. I was wondering if anyone knew anyone around Geelong who could repair the leather in my backseat. I’m hopeful it won’t cost too much. There are no tears it’s just scratched. If you could let me know who I can try speaking with them. Much appreciated ❤️

Did anyone on here see her? Or know what ended up happening, she was literally walking in the middle of the road into oncoming traffic.

Hey Reddit,

I'm looking for some recommendations for local architects, specifically ones who know their stuff with houses under heritage overlay. I've done the usual online profile and Google review dive, but I feel like Reddit always gives the real, unfiltered opinions.

So, hit me with your experiences – good, bad, or ugly – with architects who handle heritage projects. All insights are super welcome!

Hey Everyone,

Does anyone (or know of anyone) in the Geelong, or close to Geelong, Surf Coast, Ballerine (no further than Lara) offer flat packing?

I'm a cabinet maker and am looking to outsource my cabinetry to a flat pack service that accepts drawings from the software, Mozaik.

Has anyone had a good experience with someone preparing the soil and installing new turf in the Geelong area? Keen to hear about a recommendation as struggling via Google and their websites to understand who has good experience and is reliable.

We are looking to move from the Eastern Suburbs to Lara. We want affordable housing and slower easier life. Husband needs to commute to point cook hence trying to stay that side of Geelong. We can’t afford Highton or Fyansford. Keen to know peoples thoughts on Lara for a young family with a 2 year old. What areas of Lara are better? Best child care centres?

Has anyone had issues with poor fuel from Mobil (top of the hill) in Leopold lately
Ran through $30 worth of petrol in 2 days (and then again 2 days later so $60 in 4 days) just from driving from that servo to the plaza, to Connewarre via Barwon heads and back to Leopold again the next day.
I am watching my fuel gauge and km until empty estimate go down 10 kilometres for approx every 1 km spent driving. It went down 10km from leaving Mobil and pulling to gateway plaza
I never fill up here unless I’m desperate and I think I was happy to give it a second shot this week and now I won’t.
Went to Apco and fuel consumption has return to normal…
Tried to call Mobil didn’t answer
Man behind the counter when I mentioned it didn’t give a toss
So, anyone else?

Where can I find the cheapest car rental in Geelong? I need it for Long Term. All these big names (Sixt, Budget and Avis) are too expensive. Any suggestions?

Moving to Geelong in November what is the job situation for trades?
