Where to live while attending ACU – deaf – anxious after being told area is high crime.

I’m deaf (female). It’s stupid but I’ve gotten myself upset about having to move to attend ACU in 2018. A kind person has told me that Banyo & Nudgee are high crime. I’ve been anxious about security since a home break-in I slept through. What areas would you suggest to live in. I need to use public transport. I’d like access to groceries easily. I’ve lived alone for last three years, which I like, but would consider sharing. Have a cat. I’ve researched– Banyo is nearest station. 25 min walk to campus. There is a bus that goes from station to campus. A train / bus from city station is 50 mins (assuming connection is made). There is uni shuttle from – Toombul roughly every half hour and takes 15 minutes to reach ACU Chermside every 40 minutes and takes 20 minutes. submitted by /u/Mel-Syd [link] [comments]

Now I know it might seem a little weird that I’ve jumped out of a car in the dark and asked this kid if he’s ok but I was worried and I’m

Where can I see koalas in Toohey Forest?

I recently discovered Toohey Forest and it is quite close to where I live. They have signs up saying it is a Koala reserve and a bit of a Google told me that there is “koala activity” somewhere “to the south” of the forest but it is a big place. Does anyone know if and where specifically I could go to see Koalas? I’ve never seen one in the wild and I’m always on the lookout cool little adventures like that. The Brisbane City Council has a map if that helps. Thanks. submitted by /u/Darth_Tanion [link] [comments]
