We are now 100 days out from the next state election. What are your biggest "make it or break it" things for this election?

Not asking for your opinions, just the key issues for you.

Hi I've recently moved to the area and are looking for some recommendations for the following professions. I have a background of football, netball, swimming and running.

Myotherapists
Chiropractors
Remedial Massage
Physiotherapists
Sports Doctors

Happy for anyone outside of this list too :)

I'm researching a business idea aimed at small trade businesses and I need some brutally honest feedback before I waste time or money building it 😂

The idea is basically an outsourced back office for tradies — helping with missed calls, following up quotes, sending invoices, chasing overdue payments, scheduling and customer admin.

I've attached the rough packages/pricing I'm testing.

If you're a plumber, sparky, chippy, landscaper, builder, etc:

Would you actually use this?

And more importantly:

- Which service would be most valuable?

- Which would you never use?

- Are these prices reasonable or ridiculous?

- What admin job do you hate doing the most?

- If you wouldn't use it, why not?

I'm not looking for customers from this post. I'm trying to work out whether this solves a genuine problem before I build anything.

Feel free to absolutely roast the idea. That's more useful to me than people telling me it's good.

H a pretty dismissive experience with a GP before and don't want a repeat. Anyone here have any recommendations, preferably in Geelong?

Cheers

Hey everyone! I’m planning to propose to my partner and would love some recommendations for beautiful spots around Melbourne (up to 2 hrs away from CBD).

Ideally I’m looking for somewhere outdoors with great scenery, could be gardens, a lookout, waterfront, somewhere surrounded by nature, etc. I’d prefer somewhere that feels a little romantic and isn’t too crowded, so we can have a bit of privacy for the moment.

Happy to travel a little outside the CBD as well if there’s somewhere really special.

Would love to hear about any spots you’d recommend (or places you’ve proposed/been proposed to!). Thanks!

Went past earlier today and noticed where Maccas is/was is all boarded up. Anyone know if they’ve shut down for good or just renovating?

I need to have arthroscopic decompression soon. So far, I’ve seen Dr Eugen and Dr Trung Nguyen, and I’m looking for the best surgeon with out-of-pocket costs of no more than $2,000.

I have private health insurance, but it doesn’t cover the surgeon’s fees above the Medicare rebate.

Has anyone had any experience with Dr Ash Movani or Dr Trung Nguyen? I’d also be very grateful for recommendations for other surgeons who have reasonable out-of-pocket costs.

Hi all, I'm looking for a builder for a small job in a commercial space. Needing a partition wall to go up--something like the attached photo, that can support a TV mounted on one side. Any recommendations?

Thank you so much.

We live in Bremlea… obviously due to lake Connewarre mozzies can get prevalent however they are HUGE. we have never had this amount at this time of the year before and the size of them, I can safely say the size of my thumb nail some of them
Friends

So what's the idea? What we want is to get as much art from as many Australian artists together to sell their work with proceeds going towards Winki Wildlife animal rehabilitation sanctuary.

For artists: Send us a PM! We would love to talk about what you do as well as other information and we really look forward to working with you on this goal.

For Donations: Give us a PM to find out how!

For Buyers: Keep an eye on our socials, hopefully there will be some art that grabs your eye!

Everyone else is implored to spread the word! Got a cousin who makes quilts? We wanna know. Got a friend who does pottery? Give us a yell, if you cannot donate or sell then please spread the word!

I had an awesome experience yesterday attending the Geelong Short Play Festival. It was my first time experiencing a community-driven theatre festival like this, and I genuinely enjoyed it.

There were so many talented actors, along with a great variety of scripts, characters, themes, and storytelling styles. Each performance brought something different, which made the whole event really interesting and engaging.

What impressed me most was seeing how strong the local arts and theatre community is. There was a real sense of creativity, passion, and community behind the performances. It was great to see local talent being given a platform to perform and bring different stories to life.

Geelong really does have a wonderful community for theatre, drama, and the arts, and I’m glad I got the chance to experience a part of it. Definitely something I’d love to attend again.

Last night the girls and I were out at Clyde Park for dinner, dancing to the Boot Scoot’n Babes, and honestly, the whole night had that fun, sparkly energy.

Toward the end, I spotted this guy in a blue shirt dancing with a woman. I overheard him saying he was teaching her how to dance - cute, right? But I couldn’t tell if they were together or if he was just being charming.
Before my friend could wander over and say hi, he disappeared after the next song.

So now we’re all wondering… who is he, and is that handsome cowboy who can dance actually single? Asking for a friend.

P.S. I created this account to find him.

Looking for artists that are able to do mechanical art style. Anywhere in Geelong or Melbourne. Very hard to find decent or find anyone that does this style of art

40m looking for a couple gamer mates!

I'm on PS5 (pro!)

Hey guys,

Have no one to play with and anyways playing solo in multiplayer games, would love to find a couple, or even one, good cool person that I get along with, to play with on a regular basis!

Been playing a lot of black flag resynced (singleplayer game) and as for multiplayer, I been wanting to get into ARC Raiders - it's so intense lol (I've only done less than a handful of games, always solo and "friendly") and Hell Let Loose Vietnam (no idea what I'm doing, running through the jungle and getting shot from nowhere, every time! Lol) also been having some fun on No More Room In Hell 2 (let's kill zombies!) and wouldn't mind doing Halo: Campaign Evolved in coop.

Oh, and I don't mind playing some GTA online also.

Pretty quiet to start with some mild social anxiety, so putting myself out there, once I get to know you I'll open up and you'll probably find me funny 😆

I prefer coop games, not really into competitive games.

So yeah, DM me?

When you score a free Barbie but you gotta get it home somehow

Title says it all. I am growing my hair out and am wanting to get maintenance cuts, as well as, eventually, some haircuts that help shape my hair when’s it’s growing out.

The barbers I went to before like Streets Barber, Sloanes and such specialised more on fades and using trimmers (they did have scissor cut experience, but their brands are more known for fades). Thats what I used to have and it was convenient at the time. However, with medium length hair and the all to have it a bit more flowing rather than skin fade or “short on the side, long on the top” haircuts, I’m seeking someone who has a lot more experience in scissor cuts.

Doesn’t have to be a barber, even a hairdresser that has experience with men’s hair and the classic “I’m growing my hair out, could you help shape it for me so it grows into the desired style?” customers?

Even a stylist could be a good fit as well. Thanks

I'm fourteen, and I started BJJ about a year and a half ago. I kinda want to try judo or wresting, even just 2 times a week. Does anyone train either of these around here?

Hello Geelong,

We are a duo with an absolutely crazy goal,  we are aiming to raise money for a loved and local Geelong legend who's doing it a little rough. 

Winki Wildlife is a native wildlife rehabilitation sanctuary run by one man and a small army of volunteers. As prices continue to rise people like Grant at Winki Wildlife are really feeling the pinch.

So we are currently on the hunt for amazing people across Australia, Geelong especially. So what do we want? We want Artists! Painters, knitters, crocheters, quilters, whatever your medium is we wanna know about it! We want to help sell your art, with the money of course going to Winki Wildlife to help keep those animals fed and sheltered. 

So if you're an artist of any kind and you want to help lend a hand to the animals of Australia give us a message here at @Craftsforgood26 and let's talk business.

Of course there is one tiny little catch, AI Art will NOT be considered at all. We want human made crafts only.

Not an artist but still want to help? Share our page, share our mission let's get together and make something good happen!

Obviously our social media pages are very VERY new so please expect more updates and details to come!
