Where to buy a decent mower?

I’ve been using an old hand-me-down Briggs & Stratton mower from my dad for the past few years. He’d bought it new, 30 years ago. Whipped it out this afternoon, refueled, checked the oil, and fired her up. Just like always, she starts on the 2nd pull. Sadly, within 90 seconds, something went bang and oil started pissing out everywhere. I’m not mechanically-minded, but it looked like a piston/rod issue. Regardless, she’s toast, and certainly wasn’t worth trying to fix. I’ve just returned from the dump where she was unceremoniously handed over the the recycling station. As such, I’m chasing a new one. Don’t mind dropping a bit of coin, particularly if it’ll last 30 years like this one did. Have heard good things about the Honda 4 stroke options. Don’t really want anything from Bunnings either as would prefer to get it from a mower centre who does servicing

A part-time job for student? Coffe-related if possible?

The title said itself. More background: I’m a typical international student, 20 years old, male, come from a country in Asia, studying at QUT for almost a year. Had a shitty part-time job as a waiter in one of my country restaurant. The wage is terrible, barely afford daily live, and now I’m looking for a change. I just finished my barista course, but I know there is far way from being accepted as an actual barista. Just wonder, where to start? Look for everything I could on Gumtree and SunQLD, didn’t really help. Do you guys have any suggestion? Or tips for international student? I hope I don’t violate any rule on this sub. Just delete this if anything wrong. Thank you! submitted by /u/NowherePotato [link] [comments]

First time Ekka-er, tips?

Heading to the Ekka for the first time this year! Really wanting to make it worth it so I’ve looked over the events on the day I’m going and have a few things planned on checking out so that’s a start. What’s the TO DO thing that you’d recommend, how much are all these fandangled rides and food? I can’t seem to find anything more recent than 2008 and I’d imagine prices have changed a bit since then haha! Anyone else heading to the show this year! I’m pretty excited myself submitted by /u/muffin5252 [link] [comments]
