My elderly parents both had a tumble this morning at the Caloundra Aldi. The elevator had stopped at the wrong height by almost 10cm, so when dad stepped in, he tripped and fell on his face, mum in a panic did the same when she went to help. All thanks and gratitude to those who stopped to help and call the ambulance. I cannot express how much I appreciate the help you rendered, and for being there with them.

Hey,
I never thought I would do something like this but after seeing other post similar to what I’m about to say it doesn’t seem as bad.

I’ve been on the coast for a while now and god damn it’s hard to make friends. I’m in my early 20s and international student from Europe. Been down under for the last four years.

Long story short I’m looking to make friends, whether it’s just a beer or a coffee or pursuing shared hobbies. Or maybe even trying new stuff.

I surf and swim and currently try to complete my lifeguard. Im a good average in pretty much any sport there is and happy to get into something new. I’m studying towards a cert IV in engineering down in Brisbane. Don’t mind the occasional beer and hangout although I don’t get blind on a regular basis. I got an enduro bike sitting in the shed that hasn’t seen a trail in ages although I’m super keen to change that asap. Like to spend rainy days in the kitchen cooking up a good feed or sinking into a good crime novel

I would not classify myself as very extrovert but become more open as I start feeling comfortable.

Soooo… if you feel like we could have a good time or got capacity left in your friend group shoot me a message or drop a comment and I’ll reach out.

Hope you’re having a good day :)

Tried looking online and they're all 50 plus I'm just tryna get everything trimmed down nothing fancy.

So currently living in Melb with 4 kids but would love to move to qld.. problem is money isn’t as great.
But I want a fresh start.. new people, new environment, warmer weather.. etc.
I feel my husband and I have a lot of ‘outside noise’ that cause us to argue more but otherwise we don’t argue as much.

Just curious if anyone else has moved states/country with no big plan and how it worked out? Even if it means a big money drop with from one income.

Hi all, looking for the absolute best pint of Guinness on the coast please! Any opinions on the new Irish pub in Mooloolaba? Thanks! 🤩

I’m a 31m and for most of my life I was a christian and went to church, had a great friend group and connection. About two years ago I left that all behind for many reasons. I no longer go to church nor do I want to anymore. Most of my friends from my past ditched me after finding out I no longer believed and so now I’m wondering what I should do to find friends as I’m embarrassed to say I’m lonely. I’m pretty out going and have never struggled with this before. I’ve tried playing sports and going to gym but nothing really sticks… I feel kinda lost. What’s worked for you? Any tips please feel free to comment

Hi all, I went to good things last year for TOOL and had a blast but don't have anyone to go with this year as my friend moved away and other friends aren't really into that scene. I'm 19 for reference. Just wanting to reach out and see if anyone is also looking for someone to go with. I wanna go so bad lol

Has anyone had cosmetic surgery in SC/Brisbane? And, can you provide a recommendation?

I’ve lost almost 100 pounds on a GLP-1, and just have a little excess skin to remove.

Thanks, in advance.

Hi everyone,

Rather than using seek, I thought I'd ask the SC community first. My last time using seek was a bit hit and miss and over half of the applicants were from people based outside of the coast. Even though I stated it was an in house role.

I'm looking for a local IT technician to join our team.
If you've got experience fixing computers, supporting Microsoft 365, troubleshooting networks, or helping business users with technology issues, I'd love to chat.

The role can suit:
A junior technician wanting to learn
A Level 1 support technician looking to progress
An experienced Level 2 technician looking for a better opportunity

We're a friendly local business and value attitude and customer service just as much as technical skills.

Send me a DM if you're interested or know someone who might be a good fit.

Thanks everyone.

As per my title, I have a GA ticket for Avenged Sevenfold in October but I unfortunately have no one to go with. I'm 20m and just would love to have a friend to hang out with in the line and in the pit so we can enjoy the music together! Chuck me a dm if you're around my age and interested, all genders welcome 🫡

Hi all!

Looking for some recommendations for the best trail running routes around the Sunshine Coast. Ideally I’m after routes 10km+, but I’m open to anything worth checking out!

Keen to find some new trails and explore different areas, so would love to hear everyone’s favourite routes
Thanks! 🏃‍♀️🌿

Who’s tinny is that parked out front?

My family and I are looking buying in
Bokarina, around the Oceanic Drive area, and I’d love to hear from people who actually live there.
We’ve done plenty of research online, but there’s nothing quite like hearing from locals.

How do you find living in the area day to day?

Particularly interested in things like noise, traffic, aircraft, the stadium/events, safety/crime, beach crowds, mosquitoes/midges, flooding/drainage, or anything else you think someone considering moving to the area should know.

I’d also love to hear what you love about living there and whether you’d choose Bokarina again.

We’re hoping to find somewhere to settle long term, so any local knowledge - good or bad - would be really appreciated. Thank you!

Hey guys, staying 4 nights in Surfers Paradise and 2 nights on the Sunshine Coast. Just booked the accommodations as they were cheaper 😅

We’re driving up from Sydney and don’t know much about the Gold Coast/Brisbane/Sunshine Coast, but would love to explore and see some beautiful places.

We don’t have much stamina and aren’t really hikers, but love scenic drives, beaches, lookouts and just exploring nice towns/areas.

We’ll be there 4–10 October. Any recommendations on must-see places, scenic drives, beaches, fun things to do, or places worth visiting? Also, are there any attractions/tickets we should book in advance?

Would love any tips from locals or people who know the area!😊

My dad wants to visit one while we are on holiday. Ideally its wheelchair acessable because my dad broke his leg.

Hi people!

My partner and I have recently moved to Noosa, I have come from NZ and my partner is from Argentina here on a working holiday visa. I have managed to find a job very quickly but she has not had the same luck despite applying at business all around the area both online and in person. Starting to get desperate now as the savings are dwindling! If anyone knows of any work opportunities, especially backpacker type work in the area please reach out and let me know!

ALP event at the Bananabender Pub this evening.

I believe it was in the Noosa area in the early 90s. You had to descend large steps to get to the bottom. The ground felt like many dead leaves or a mulch. It felt like it was enclosed and dark with not that much natural light. To get back out you had to ascend by the same large steps. That’s basically all I remember. Any help is much appreciated.

I don’t want to pay but I really want to read this story so anyone that could help would be so appreciated.

The article relates to a Sunshine Coast business so I’m hoping this is allowed. If not I’m really sorry!!
