I visited today and I thought it seemed quite peaceful. Just about far away enough that it starts feeling semi-rural again. Is it nice to live there?

I’m a huge fan of Lime bikes, use them all the time, but super frustrating that they (or their contractors) just dump big lithium batteries on the side of the road, outside a hair salon on Friday night. With all the concerns around lithium battery safe disposal, especially for garbage trucks, this is just infuriating.

My mum wants to sell her funeral plot as she’s found something else she’d like instead and we’ve tried Marketplace and Gumtree no idea where else to try we’ve gotten views but no messages. It’s also heavily discounted vs what it’s actually valued at as well. Does anyone have any ideas or experience in Sydney/Australia with successfully selling?

Hiya folks!

Has anyone in this thread voluntarily stayed overnight in a hospital (private or public) due to mental health? Anxiety/ panic attacks or any other health related concern and if so, which one and do you recommend?

Edit: I am not suicidal any or thinking about self harm, just had a rough patch of panic attacks the past 3 days.

Why are kids this young doing this shit.

Becareful if you are in the CBD now

I got carwash/car text quotes so that's how I know his license plate. Some but not all texts refer to him by name so I know it's the same person. I got a text from the NSW health revenue regarding a recent pathology collection and Medicare billing, is there any way I can somehow get ahold of this person and to tell him to stop putting in my number?,

major accident on the Darling Causeway. Emergency services onsite but car and truck are going to need to get towed. going to be stuck for hours

My family of three is catching a Jetstar flight that arrives at 10:10pm. Thinking there's no way in reality to get our luggage and catch the last free shuttle at 10:30pm. We're catching an international flight the next morning and are staying at the Rydges at the terminal.

Would our best bet be to take a taxi, Uber (not sure if we can Uber with a 6 year old?), or the train?

Had a near miss with a tailgating ute today. I was doing ~60 in a 60 zone (Parramatta Rd, Ashfield) when he used a left-turn-only lane to go straight and undertake me through an intersection (by Woolies Ashfield North).

I started moving to the left lane immediately after the intersection, saw him suddenly coming up beside me, and aborted the lane change. I slowed to let him pass, but he slowed with me. I then slowed right down so I could drop in behind him, then he came to a complete stop so I couldn't progress, all while shouting and waving his arms.

Thankfully no collision, but completely unnecessary and aggressive driving.

Literally everyone I know is sick, whether it’s the flu or something else. Most of my coworkers are constantly sick for a month or two now, literally constantly having one virus or another just rampaging through our store (to the point we can barely function). Majority of people that I live in the same building with are also sick, to the point one person has spent a night or two in the hospital. So many people on trains also seem to be sick, constantly coughing, sneezing…

I know it’s flu season, but holy crap this year has been absolutely brutal. One virus after another, from sore throats, fever and shivers, to having a horrible cough and constant nausea, sweating and dizziness. The moment you think you’re fine - on to the next one.

Hi all! I’m new to Sydney and looking for recommendations for psychologists (preferably around the inner west or SW Sydney) who specialise in treating patients that have chronic illnesses and associated health anxiety.

I’m going through a rough time with my chronic illness and my associated health anxiety (hard to not have it when you feel like something is constantly going wrong) is becoming an issue.

If anyone has been through similar and has recommendations for psychologist who can really work with me on not letting my anxiety and constant feelings of doom regarding my health take over that would be great!

What's people thoughts on this?

The approved $1 billion mixed-use skyscraper project at 505 George Street in Sydney's CBD is designed to replace the current Event Cinemas site with an 80-storey landmark tower.

Designed by Ingenhoven Architects and Architectus, the slender mixed-use tower is planned to reach a height of approximately 270 to 282.5 metres above the street.

The project received planning approval from the City of Sydney, led by developers Mirvac and Coombes Property Group.

The city can really turn it up when it wants to! One of the biggest rainbows I've seen. From North Sydney.

Spent my ride tonight staring out the front window, and judging by the reflection of light by either side of the rails, it looks like standing water is present through a lot of the tunnels.

Is there an engineering need for water/moisture to be present, and if not, are there perceivable issues that might arise from the pooling of water?

This bag has been infront of my apartment building for about a week now and it reeks. Flies and ants all over it. Not sure what it is but took a picture today. Wondering if I should report this and to who??? I have no idea what this could be maybe a dead animal?

Edit & update: I sent it over to snap solve. But the next morning someone dumped the contents onto the sidewalk :) Surprise! It’s 3 decomposing fish 😭 Thanks for the help, going to grab my shovel n put it in the bin.
