Hey folks, my friend and I are med students coming over for a hospital placement, roughly mid November until mid January. Looking for a place for the two of us.

Sharing a house is fine, honestly do not care about having our own spot, just would rather not end up somewhere gross or falling apart.🙃

Curious what locals actually recommend:

• Any decent groups or sites for this, ideally nothing that turns into a nightmare to use?
• Are we way too early asking now, or is the rental situation over there bad enough that we should already be on it?
• Suburbs worth looking at for two people, close ish to a hospital would be nice?
• Anything sketchy we should watch out for with short term rentals in Brisbane?

Thanks heaps, keen to hear from anyone who has been through something similar.😁❤️

Very excited to be moving home back from the USA to Brisbane in about a month.

Be moving into a house I bought before I left in the Bardon/ Paddington/auchenflower area. I'll be moving back with a wife and two young kids who are roughly 3 and 1. Curious how easy it will be to make friends. I do understand that I'll have to make most of the effort up front. Hoping it helps having young kids in preschool or whatever.

Any ideas or pointers? I'll have a remote job so that won't help me. I'm generally pretty social though. I just don't know if I can start many of my hobbies up again with the kids being so young still.

My wife is a stay at home mum. And I do have some friends that have moved to Brisbane, but I only live there for about 2 years before I left, and that was about 6 years ago that I left

Do you have a type of venue you have visited in the world, or in Australia, that you would hope to see in Brisbane?

Hi,

I've done a search on this topic but could not see anything too recent, so hoping youse can help my friends and I out..

Seeking drving school recommendations on the southside please. Anywhere between the city to the Gold Coast, but please mention suburban suburbs located in.

TIA.

A comment on another post gave the idea for this. Which set of traffic lights in the greater Brisbane area are insanely bad? So insanely bad that you would rather take a 15 minute detour to avoid them?

NOT talking about intersections where muppet drivers are too slow off the mark, but intersections where the light sequencing is abysmally bad. Bad to the point that for example, you turn right into another set of red traffic lights.

My pick is the utter shambles that is the Samford/Ferny Central/Ferny Way/Gordon Rd clusterkcuf. Abysmal sequencing.

Ok look. Whoever pinched my Adelaide River Jumping Crocs stubby cooler with the Death By Pinball patch on it from the women’s loo at Netherworld tonight; I lost my dad in November, and my nana this morning. I went to Nethers to slap some pinnies and you’ve pinched an incredibly sentimental object while I’m in an incredibly vulnerable and emotional place
The Nethers staff know it’s mine and have been there while I cried on their shoulder about this cooler
Please, no questions asked just hand it in, do the right thing x

Hi guys,
Does anyone have any good recommendations for restaurants that are kid friendly and cater to a lot of allergies?
My little one is allergic to a fair few things (including wheat, peanuts, dairy, soy and egg) and we have found it hard to go out for meals with him.

Hi friends!

I’m wanting to go on an op shop crawl to try and find some classics (fiction, plays and philosophy), and would love some suggestions of op shops where they’re actually reasonably priced and/or often have a decent collection!

I’m based in West End, though am happy to travel if there’s a few in the same area 🥰
