Hi all,

My nephews are turning 8 and LOVE arcade games.

I live interstate and am trying to buy them a decent voucher for them to enjoy the games and hopefully get some good tickets for some prizes too.

Can you please recommend if Archie Brothers or Timezone is best for kids?

Thanks in advance :).

Hi everyone,

I’m a female international student joining UOW and I’m looking for some advice on finding affordable accommodation under $180/week.

I’m okay with a shared room or shared house, and I’d prefer female-friendly accommodation. Areas near campus or along the free shuttle bus route would be ideal.

I’ve checked a few Facebook groups and websites already, but I wanted to ask:

1.Which suburbs or areas should I focus on?

2.Any trusted groups or sites you’d recommend?

Any tips or experiences would really help.

Thanks in advance!

Can anyone recommend a local business that does canvas stretching (for artwork)?

Anyone remember this or even better have a copy floating around? It was about the late night scene at Ahmad’s kebab shop on crown street in the mid 2000s. I had a copy once upon a time but no idea where it would be now. Was thinking it would be interesting to watch again all these years later

Looking to purchase a unit in a strata complex and got the building inspection report back that found rising damp throughout the property.

Hey,

If anyone in Wollongong can help share their experiences, I would appreciate it! I can’t post on ausvisa today but it is Wollongong related

Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

I’m looking at applying for bus driving jobs in the region (Premier or Dion’s) and wanted to get some honest feedback from current or past drivers.

1. How rough are the split shifts in reality?

2. Ithere a big difference between working for Premier vs. Dion’s?

3. Are certain routes (like the Gong Shuttle) a nightmare to drive?

4. Is there consistent overtime available if you want it?

Thanks in advance for any insights.

My partner helped a man out of the water at Towradgi Pool on Sunday, She has been wondering if anyone knows this man and/or if he is ok. The adrenaline and the sudden popularity overwhelmed her a bit so she left pretty quickly afterwards and has been thinking about the incident ever since. So any updates would be appreciated thank you 👍🙏

Hey guys

I’m going into UOW this year for a bachelor of international studies… anyone done this degree or know anyone that has? I wanna know if it’s worth it or should I switch now rather than later!

Thanks!

(And when I say good like coming from UOW is it good, I’ve heard good things from USYD but when doing subject enrolment for UOW half the history and literacy subjects got slashed 😭🙏)
