Fake spiderweb decorations

Surely everyone is aware now that they pose a risk to wildlife of all shapes and sizes, not to mention the microplastics. Why do people still use them?

Stolen e-bike in Hamilton South

7 Upvotes

Last night I accidentally left my garage door open when I took the bins out. Someone came by in the middle of the night and stole a brand new e-bike out of the garage. It’s completely my fault for leaving the door open but I’m just wandering what else I can do? It’s my partners bike that she recently purchased. I’ve filled out a report online with the police.

Free EV chargers?

Most EV chargers cost around 60-80c/kW, but some places have them free. Does anyone know of free ones in Newcastle area?

Help - car blocking our driveway / garage and police / council won't do anything

147 Upvotes

Hey guys a car parked over our driveway and we can't get our car in / out. It's been there since yesterday morning. The police said it not a police matter. They said ring the council after hours.

Council said they would put a job out to the rangers and to call back in a few hours if it wasn't taken care of.

So a few hours later we called back since The car is still there. Now council days you need to log it online on the council website which obviously won't be attended to until 3 to 5 business weeks.

What are my legal options here?

Rabbit spotted in the New Lambton area

21 Upvotes

Saw a rabbit (small fella shown above) near where I live this morning, it was on the other side of a short fence (not enclosed, it could exit via the driveway) in a front yard, seemed to back up a bit when I got close but didn’t just bolt like a wild rabbit would.

If anyone’s missing a pet rabbit, DM me for exactly where.

Social 19F, international student at UON looking to make friends

14 Upvotes

Hey, I moved to Newcastle about two months ago for uni and haven't really made any friends here yet, so I thought I'd give this a shot.

Would be nice to meet some people around my age, maybe start by chatting online and hang out sometime if we get along. Feel free to message me!

Found photos in suitcase near bush, what to do with them?

8 Upvotes

The other weekend I was out riding in the bush at Sugarloaf and came across a mostly empty suitcase, and near by a burned out Ute. There wasn’t much there but there were some photos in frames. Weathered but intact. I grabbed them and brought them home thinking the owner might like them back.

Question is how do I find out who they belong to? Surely with the internet there must be a way?

Feel lucky to see them in the harbor

Newcastle Farmers Markets

Hi. I’m going to the markets tomorrow and it’s been a while since my last visit.
For those who have been there recently, what are your favourite purchases?
I love the apples and flowers. I used to love getting a falafel wrap but the vendors weren’t there last time…

Best Cinema Seating? Which Movie Theatre company has the best most comfortable seats?

16 Upvotes

Hello Newcastle mates,

Was wondering what Cinema (location or brand specific) has the best most comfy cinema seats?

And

Out of Event Cinemas, Reading Cinemas or Hoyts Cinemas whose got the nicest ones in Australia?

I ask cause I will be watching some rather long films and will be having friends along. Some of which are disabled and find hard uncomfortable seats unbearable.

I've also been to Tower Cinemas since its reopened, I do applaud the film selections they have and hope they continue to succeed because of the variety they bring but the seats are not the cinema seats you'd expect.

Any sort of experience within Newcastle area and outside who can give some feedback on which theatres have the nicest seating and atmosphere would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks!

Single parent finding work

19 Upvotes

Hi all I’ll keep it as short as possible, so I’m male with 2 kids 3&6 in the last year I’ve had to leave my job and taken on full care of my 2 kids (I love having them full time) I was employed 10+ years with the company but couldn’t commit as I did a fair amount of travelling. I’ve now been unemployed for 6ish months I managed for 6 months but become to stressful with my kids having extra needs. I’ve just joined a parent program to help me get back into work I’ve always worked in construction but having school commitments and the younger one only 2 days a week daycare I’m really struggling to work out what line of work fit the school drop offs and pickups 9:10am-3:10pm I’ve thought about support work but am worried I sware like a trooper and half the time don’t even realise I do it. I’m basic with computers I can use it but far from ever being a guru. I’ve thought of getting a lawn mower and edger but wasn’t sure how stable that would be I’d need an abn and insurance. I’ve thought of doing the test and tag electrical course and trying to apply within an electrical company and say these are the days I’m available not sure if it’s a stable work load. I have tickets already forklift, dogman, ewp under 11m, telehandler, confined space, whitecard. But all them require a 7am-5pm availability. I can’t currently afford to send the kids to before and afterschool care or extra days at daycare they have frequent appointments having extra needs. Just after peoples opinions and maybe what you have done to find work being a solo full time parent. Appreciate any feedback. Thanks. (Sorry if it’s hard to read)

Plane aerobatics over Warners Bay area this arvo?

8 Upvotes

Did anyone else catch the incredible view this afternoon of the plane performing some awesome tricks up the top end of the lake? Only caught snippets pulled over on the side of the road while driving up through Teralba to get to the freeway… anyone with any clue if they are a regular flyer/performer or if it was a special event? Think I was loving it more than the kids 🙄😂
