Hi all, from QLD but moved to good old TAS a few years ago.

Realistically, how much would a young couple need saved up to move to sunny coast and have a 3-6 month buffer for emergencies.

Most of my family are in QLD and we’d like to be close to them by the time we want to start trying for a baby. So there’s that cost included as well. All seems like a huge about but where we are in TAS is not a good place to start a family.

No judgment please! TIA.

I believe it was in the Noosa area in the early 90s. You had to descend large steps to get to the bottom. The ground felt like many dead leaves or a mulch. It felt like it was enclosed and dark with not that much natural light. To get back out you had to ascend by the same large steps. That’s basically all I remember. Any help is much appreciated.

I don’t want to pay but I really want to read this story so anyone that could help would be so appreciated.

The article relates to a Sunshine Coast business so I’m hoping this is allowed. If not I’m really sorry!!

We’re moving to Buddina near the beach and got an alert about turtle nesting light requirements.

We’re new to the Sunny coast, is there a good chance we might actually see some turtles hatching or coming to nest ?

We have no intention of doing anything but observing from a distance but what an incredible experience

We’ve moved up here for the wildlife and general nature aspect, any other recommendations to see more wildlife ? Areas we can take family when they visit etc ?

Cheers

currently sitting in my car after another humiliating rental inspection in maroochydore and honestly just wanted to vent

There were literally 60 people lined up for a 2-bedder that smelled aggressively like wet dog and mould. The agent rocked up 15 mins late, didn't even say hi, just unlocked the door and stood there on her phone while we all shuffled through. They want $800 a week for a place with no aircon in the main bedroom. Its just pure extortion at this point

Moved up from melbourne last month for the "lifestyle" but starting to massively regret it tbh. The ironic part is the only smooth part of this entire interstate move was dealing with my old agency down south. My property manager from Ray White Southbank just processed my break-lease paperwork in like two days and actually treated me like a human being instead of an inconvenience.

Up here? I feel like I'm literally begging for the privilege to live in a damp shed. I love the beach but I'm genuinely wondering if this sunshine tax is actually worth it right now

how long did it take you guys to secure a place? My airbnb budget is completely evaporating and I'm losing my mind a little bit

Hello! I have a b’day party to go to soon at Mooloolah Valley Country Club. Does anyone know if taxi’s or Ubers frequent that area late night over a weekend and if the wait time is generally ok? I’d be heading back down towards landsborough, roughly 10 min drive.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all

I have started a camera to watch the weather, tides and beautiful cotton tree. It will be live streaming sunrises, sunsets, and storms - all no audio and no people or building in view.

If anyone wants a link to view pm me.

Hey guys, I’m around gympie this week - just looking for a tobacconist in the area?

I bought a jug of probiotic gut health ginger shots on Sunday from a vendor. I want to find the name of the company. I can’t remember, they had a red logo. Nothing is wrong, I just wanted to do some more research. TIA

In case you were caught up in the traffic jam on David Low Way this evening between Marcoola and Mt Coolum…. the cause was a runaway sausage dog.
We got involved near Tamarindus St where the dog was sprinting straight down the road. Despite multiple cars stopping and people giving chase, it made its way all the way through the roundabout near the Mt Coolum shops.
Surely it couldn’t keep running? A sausage dog?? Yep, turned left into Suncoast Beach Drive and made it another 200m until it inexplicably went into a random front yard.
Another family who had been tracking it since before we got involved managed to capture it and is taking it to a vet.

I’m looking for Moroccan Smen for a chicken tangine I’m cooking. It’s a very obscure ingredient and I doubt I’ll be able to get any. But shot in the dark, are there any African grocers around here?

I figure it’s better than trying to order it on Etsy, who knows wtf I’m getting in that case.

Despite having close to 400,000 people. I can understand the geography may play a part as we are very scattered over 2300 sq.km and comprising of up to 200 suburbs. Seriously with the amount of people moving from places with quality infrastructure and ammenities, why are we still stuck with the same small town mentality?
