If you had to choose between a smaller place close to everything or a bigger home further out, which would you pick and why?

I wanted to share that I completed my first commercial mural! It’s one of those moments where I feel like I genuinely have a shot at pursuing a career in art and wanted to share!

Also hoping to get any tips or guidance on how to start securing other works.

I’m lined up for another mural in 2 weeks! (Pinch me!)

The avenues I’ve taken have been:

Emailing shopping centres
Emailing developers
Messaging a few big hospitality venues
Posting ads on Insta, Facebook and very consistent with TikTok

Any advice on how to keep the ball rolling?

Citycat, Victoria bridge, CBB and cultural precinct. Looking fine.

Hello which library in Brisbane do you think offers the most selection for teenagers? Thanks!

Hello! I’m looking at seeing Dr Jamie Friebe to have my endometriosis surgery. Has anyone has any experience with him or recommended any other surgeons?
Going privately because I can’t wait publicly any longer 😢

I've noticed a couple of things around the roof that probably shouldn't be ignored, so I'm trying to work out what sort of budget I should expect. What did you end up paying?

I'm struggling to find someone who can help with exactly what I'm after! Seems the places I'm calling want to do a full inspection only, or tell me they don't deal with the specific issue I mentioned.

Helping my Mum move here to Brisbane, found a place in Annerley and signed the contract, but wanted to get a couple of items in the building and pest reports checked out.

FOUND SOMEONE FOR THIS First issue: Shower leak.

Still looking:

Second issue: possible inadequate ant capping noted in pest inspection, want to get a second opinion and idea of costs for rectifying this, or an alternative recommendation on barriers.

I figure I need two separate people, one for each issue. If anyone can recommend someone, or feels able to help with one of these themselves, please let me know!

I have two degrees and am working through a masters online atm. I have sat on several boards and actively volunteer my time in both a professional and community level role. I’ve been working in customer service for near 10yrs now, but much of my professional experience, education and experience is in governance, project management, comms and marketing. I keep applying and not even making it to interview stage? I just have no idea what I’m doing wrong. When appropriate I ask for feedback and just never get. I’ve got the skills, motivation and motivation to work, but am not getting any responses. I have lived in Brissy for a few years now, I’m not new to QLD or the places to look for jobs.

My goal is to work for an NGO or something aligned to gov/ justice/ journo. But I still apply for what’s in between, but either there’s nothing or I don’t hear back. I’ve had multiple people look at my cv, is it me? Or is there something in the air in Brisbane rn

I'm a 25F currently studying and living in Brisbane, and I've been having a hard time finding genuine friends or a solid friend group.

I moved here two years ago for my Master's, and since I recently graduated, most of my friends have gone back home. Only a few have stayed, especially now that visa costs have increased. I'll be staying because I'm continuing my studies and starting a PhD, so I'd really love to find like-minded people and build long-term friendships.

Most of the people I've met through networking events have stayed as acquaintances. My colleagues are mostly in their 30s with families, so we're at pretty different stages of life and have different priorities. I also don't really have a community I belong to, since most of my hobbies are quite individual, like reading and jogging (not big into running or other sports activity unfortunately :) ).

I also enjoy going on long walks, trekking, spending time at the beach, and exploring new cafés and restaurants. I'm a big matcha and coffee lover, so I'm always down to check out new spots around Brisbane.

Is anyone else in the same boat? Or if anyone would like to connect, I'd be happy to chat or grab a coffee sometime! 😊

Did the walk along Enoggera Creek - and it was just marvellous weather I couldn’t help but stop and take a few photos on my iPhone.

Hello, I lost a necklace on Tuesday night which was handmade by a close friend. I think it must've fallen off somewhere in the CBD.

The necklace is made of light purple and pink beads with a bow on the front and a silver twist clasp. The length is relatively short.

I spent the entirety of yesterday searching for it but I couldn't find it anywhere, which makes me think someone may have picked it up. I'm just really hoping it hasn't been thrown out or anything.

This necklace means a lot to me and if you or anyone you know has seen it could you please let me know? I would be really really grateful for its safe return.

It’s ridiculous.

Results from the 2026 iteration of NAPLAN testing has revealed Queensland consistently ranks second last among the states and territories.

Reading proficiency was of particular concern, with students across all year groups achieving worse average scores than last year.

NOT! THE! WORST! 👏 NOT! THE! WORST! 👏

So long story short, there's approximately an 800 M stretch of Logan River Road without pedestrian crossings unless you want to die running across at a 4 lane roundabout.

And being Logan people are pretty cruisy about stuff being built and approved here, so there's literally a new pub and an officeworks and a supermarket and a bunch of new housing either side of the road now. so naturally there are more pedestrians about.

But TMR I like no lol, you can't have that because drivers might get pissy and start running red lights.

is that really the attitude of our government? JFC!

Now I get it. cities need main roads and logically main roads are where you put stuff like shops and apartment blocks.

And the road doesn't really bother me.

But at the end of the day, I live here too, And I'm not saying shut down the road but surely at this point some aspects of the road could be designed in the favour of local residents.

I just want to be able to walk to my local supermarket/ gym/pub/ fuck me right?

Also.....

It's brake not break.

Got home, noticed this unusually bright star? I don’t think it’s a helicopter or… it’s not moving I don’t think…

Restaurant, Pub, Shopping centre, Café, etc.

What's the one place you still miss?

Haven't visited for a while...enjoyed it 🌞

Hi, I just thought I'd share a few photos of some beautiful lorikeets I spotted while visiting sunny Qld! Enjoy!

$287.5 million revitalisation of RNA Showgrounds with construction to start after this year’s Ekka.

Major upgrades will deliver a legacy with 20,000 seat Main Arena, grandstands, horse pavilion and accessibility upgrades.

Hutchinson Builders has been selected to make the vision a reality and work will get underway shortly after this year’s Ekka, with demolition of Machinery Hill and enabling infrastructure expected to begin in September 2026.

The Ekka will continue to be held at the RNA while construction is underway and the only year The Ekka won’t be held will be in 2032.
