r/Townsville

Recently drove from SEQ to TSV for a holiday and bought a number of coffees on the way up there, while in town and on the way back, and you guys are getting shafted.

While I understand my order of an iced latte on almond adds 2 surcharges for some ice and some wanker milk, it’s what I like.

When we left home, got 2 at around $8 a cup
Rocky, around $8 as well

We got to Townsville and only bought 3 in total:
Junction cafe at $9.40
GMCT $10.40!!!
Zarraffas $9.80

On the way home we sent the bush route, stopped in at what looked like the film set for Wolf Creek, also known as as Belyendo roadhouse: $8.00
Stopped at Emerald: $8.00

You guys are getting shafted.

Seems the Department of Physiotherapy at JCU is struggling to deliver its new trimester structure for its Physiotherapy Degree satisfactorily. Hi fail rates and a higher number of students having to sit supplementary exams. Students having to leave the Course as a result. Lecturers now being audited. If the audit finds failings by the staff, can students sue the University for failing to provide Course material in a satisfactory manner and the associated loss of fees and / or future earnings?

Hey random deep thought, I’m 23 and the last 5 years or so since leaving high school I feel like I’ve lost the person I was and became this shell. And as the years go on it’s like they pass faster and faster and I’m stuck in the exact same spot I was the year before. Different roller coaster but all the same starting/ending point. It just keeps happening like I can’t build any momentum always something happening that resets me back down to where I started, which is at the bottom.

Anyone else feel me or is it just me?

I've been in the IT/technology space for about ten years now, and out of curiosity I had a look at what I could study at TAFE to see if I could ignite a new interest.

Turns out there's nothing at all in Agriculture at either Townsville campus. I was specifically looking at horticulture, and the Certificate III in Horticulture isn't offered here either. The closest you can get is Parks and Gardens, Landscape Construction or Sports Turf Management out at Bohle. Who gives a shit about golf course grass, give me something interesting god damn it.

I went through the TAFE Queensland course search and listed every study area with no course at Pimlico or Bohle. 33 of 75 came up empty. Creative industries is the worst of it, with 9 of 10 areas missing.

But yeah just in case you missed it, I'm not including Online study because who actually learns anything if you aren't doing it.

Albert Einstein once said "A retard in motion goes further than a genius at rest

Are there any big flat open concrete areas or big car parks that are usually empty?

Yo I’m a guy in his 30s that’s started playing tennis again. Just seeing if there’s anyone that’d be keen for a hit. I’m a fan of the Tennis Townsville courts and the free ones in Douglas.

Skills wise I’d say I’m better than a beginner but if I gotta do a second serve then it’ll be an easy point for you 🥹

If you’re keen, let’s have a hit 🎾
