QPS, want to make some easy money?

People are back at work and it means lots of people driving their cars into the city. Every single day I note the large amount of cars that block intersections aka “blocking the box”. The intersection of Leichhardt street and Little Edward and also (and more annoyingly) Turbot and Edward Streets are two I come across regularly. People usually turning into Edward from these cross streets end up not making it and sitting in the middle of the intersection. The lights change, and no one can move. Enraging!

Save the date! Bushwalking meetup 21st of January at Elabana Falls

Hey all, so I made a post a little while ago gauging interest in a bushwalk, based on the responses a lot of you are keen to go. A few minor changes to the plan (mostly due to the heat). As it stands, this is the gameplan. 21st January, Saturday Lamington National Park, O’Reilly’s entry point specifically the Box Circuit with a needed stop at Elabana Falls. Meet up at the O’Reilly’s carpark at 8 AM and proceed from there (Big long windy road up the mountain). Sausages, bread, sauce will be supplied. I would advise to bring your own snacks (nuts, bars, etc) for the walk. BRING PLENTY OF WATER. Don’t forget the sunscreen. edit: Also, as swimming will be involved, don’t forget to bring a change of clothes if needed. The whole thing should take roughly 5 hours, depending how long we want to stay in the falls
