Bushfire

Is there a controlled fire / bushfire in and around Goodna? Absolutely ridiculous smell, and can see smoke around!

hi Folks, Please just let me know if these annoy you up the top of r/ipswich each week and I can not pin them if many say they don't want it pinned.

Cheers.

New solar powered parking meters

Spotted these new solar powered parking meters in Top of Town. All are aligned the same direction.

Who is the Luddite who signed off on this?

Why so many grubs?

FFS people! Keep your rubbish in your car 'till you get home. Over only the past two days gone for a walk along the same stretch of road (about 4km long) and have picked up 42 empty cans and bottles from the roadside. This doesn't include all the maccas rubbish and chip packets. You've got a free wheelie bin for rubbish - feckin' use it.

Raceview: car roof crushed overnight

We have a number of people in our street who all woke up to a caved in car roof today. I believe many had smashed windows also. If yours was impacted, please report it to QPS so they can all be linked.

Hopefully someone has footage 🤞

Recommendation for draftsman

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a draftsman for a renovation we’re hoping to complete. It will involve enclosing part of a verandah for an ensuite off the main bedroom. Would love to hear any recommendations (or who to avoid)!

anyone else overpaying for activewear that falls apart

so tired of spending 100+ on leggings that pill after two months. i do yoga and some dance stuff and nothing seems to last anymore. feels like everything's made to fall apart so you buy more.

just wondering if anyone else has made the switch from expensive activewear to more affordable stuff? or am i just unlucky with the brands i've been buying lol

Speeding pass local parks , Ripley

Any one who lives in Ripley knows the local parks are generally full of kids playing or having birthday parties on the weekend.  So I always slow down to 40 km or less when passing the parks so why do some idiots find the need to overtake at high speed only to be stopped at the next set of lights.

Door Knockers

I'm up to my neck in door knockers lately, frankly sick of it.

Coming from Brissie you'd get maybe one year, but i'm getting multiple a week. It's not just chuggers, it's solar this, roof repair that. Anything you can imagine. Is this amount of soliciting normal here?

I've stopped answering the door and no, I don't have a camera.

CBD Shortcut

Has anyone else noticed in peak times it's faster to do a rat run through the mall to get across the bridge than follow the main roads? It saves up to five minutes and three traffic lights.

Train stations where you can get a park later in the morning?

Hi friends and foes,

My nearest station is Dinmore and I know that after 6.30am you're hard pressed to find a car park.

Are there any other stations where I'm likely to find a spot if I'm heading into the city around 9am?

Local Ipswich resident here: Official Parliamentary Petition EN10411 is now LIVE to fund a sovereign Australian crewed space program!

Hey Ipswich,

I'm a local from Eastern Heights and my official House of Representatives e-petition just got certified and went live today.

Right now, Australia is sitting on the sidelines of the global space industry. We train incredible engineers, software developers, and scientists at our universities, only to tell them they have to pack their bags for America or Europe if they want to work in human spaceflight. That goes against our national character.

Petition EN10411 asks the House to permanently fund an Australian crewed space program. This means securing flight slots with NASA and ESA so our local tech, research, and advanced manufacturing sectors can build hardware and run experiments in space. Every dollar stays right here on the ground creating high-tech jobs.

If you're an Australian citizen or resident, please take 30 seconds to sign the official parliamentary link. Let's show Canberra what Ipswich can do and get Australia off the bench!

Sign the official petition here: https://www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/petition/EN10411
