r/Geelong

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

Cheers

Hi guys,

I’ve just moved to Geelong from Gippsland. Im a teacher who is looking for work next year. I was wondering if there were any teachers or CRTs on this page who can give me some insight into some of the schools here. For example, which schools to avoid and which schools have a good reputation. I’m not too concerned about student behaviour but more interested in the staff culture.

Thank you 😊

Edit: primary schools

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!

These beautiful cats are currently on a KILL LIST at a pound in Narre Warren and need our help ASAP they are out of time and expected to be put to sleep this Saturday if a foster carer is not arranged, I have rescued one but have fallen in love with them all when i visited i am truly heart broken i cannot adopt them all. If you know anyone or you yourself can foster one of these beautiful babies until @strongheartscatrescue can find a forever home

Hi, I’m Muslim and looking to make some friends here in Melbourne. Any kind of help or recommendations would be really appreciated.

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?

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
In Leopold said they haven’t been able to go into the yard

If anyone can prove to me that those shitty paper bags are better for shoppers to use and re-use like the plastic ones, you would probably be in the running to be the next PM. Having to pay for a bag to use once surely can't be any better, or more sustainable, for the environment. The only ones benefiting from selling them are the supermarkets.

And don't get me started on drinking from a paper straw. I refuse to buy a drink if I have to use one and have everything taste like cardboard.

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

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 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.
