Just a shout out to a local business who helped my girl and I out of a bind

Just sharing this amazing local business [Red Dog Campers](www.reddogcampers.com.au/)… Peter (the owner) really stepped up yesterday and helped my partner and I out of a horrible situation (we had travelled down from Brisbane to pick up a second hand caravan, after getting our car fitted with electric brakes and a 12volt wire onto the existing plug). When we arrived the electrics in the caravan would not work, and we were unable to take the caravan. We rang the auto electrician that did the work and they basically fobbed us off, saying that we needed to purchase an additional module as the caravan was drawing to much power from the car, and that was why nothing was working. Peter did everything he could to help us (giving us a light board, and pulling the entire plug apart on the car to try and work out the issue – he tested the

Help me with some info about driving around Brisbane.

I was struck in traffic in your BrisVegas joint yesterday, on Kingsford Smith Drive, where all the new highrise are being built. First thing I noticed was the absolute lowest cost architecture, then the precast construction, then the coating with cheap paint, ie some sort colour theme to make the joint look like a unassuming, till the paint fades. Then I thought all these dickheads stuck in their cars, on somebody’s timesheet, who is picking up the tab for that, and do any of those stuck in their cars have to pay off one of these units, and how is that going to work out over the next 20 or so years of the course of their loan. But the traffic was pretty rough and maybe there’s a quick solution to it to get around more easily? I mean it took a long time just to drive from Kingsford Smith

Seeking reliable independent grocer

I’m new to the northside of Brisbane and have been searching to no avail for an independent, reliable green grocer. I am all about supporting local businesses and giving my hard-earnt money to someone who I can both trust and who will supply me with quality products every time. If this sounds like you or someone/somewhere you know please shoot me a message. I promise I’ll be a loyal customer. @ jessielou62 submitted by /u/yeppawayiamthrowing [link] [comments]

Park n Ride Options for Gabba Test Match

I’ll be working at the cricket next week from 11am-6pm. My question is regarding parking for the bus. Is it likely I’ll be able to grab a spot at the Carindale park n ride anytime after 10ish? (and the same question in regards to the one in Eight Mile Plains) I live in Redland Bay, usually when I go into the city for university I park at the Hyperdome and take a bus. My research tells me that taking a bus from either Carindale (which I recently learned is only a 15 minute bus ride to Woolloongabba) or Eight Mile Plains (which is my usual option when I work at the Gabba) are the fastest options. TLDR: how screwed can I expect to be if I try to park at either the Carindale or Eight Mile Plains park n ride facilities after 10am on the weekdays? and which option of

Helicopter flying over inner city suburb with no lights

It’s after midnight. A helicopter has been circling low over my suburb (inner-city south side) for at least fifteen minutes now. I can hear it directly overhead but, no matter how long I look, I can’t see it, so it must be flying without lights. I thought all aircraft had to have lights at night. Does anyone know if there are legal exceptions? Police? Military? submitted by /u/BigRedTomato [link] [comments]
