Category: Latest Reddit in Brisbane

Thank you Brisbane redditers.

Earlier this year I was staying with a family in Ascot until their father died. Overnight, I had to find places to stay for the next three weeks but I had no money. I jumped on the Brisbane subreddit as well as a facebook page and posted my problem and quickly found three places to stay for the next three weeks. Each host was amazingly warm and welcoming. I’ve tried this in different cities since to mixed results. Houston was terrible. Switzerland was the worst. Brazil was… interesting. Seattle was great. San Diego was oddly endearing. But none of them were nearly as good as Brisbane. Anyways, thanks for helping out a nomad in need. You’re the best. I couldn’t think any more highly of your city. submitted by /u/jp_books [link] [comments]

Hi! I'm a year 10 student from Victoria who needs your help!

I am a Year 10 student at Sunbury Downs College in Victoria. For my psychology coursework, I am required to carry out an experiment/survey to collect data regarding an attitude held by people. I chose to investigate the same-sex marriage debate in Australia. The information will only be seen my myself and my teacher, and will not be published anywhere. The only personal information collected will be the age, gender, if they are Australian or not, and if they are an Aboriginal Australian or Torres Strait Islander. This is the link to the survey: https://goo.gl/forms/vH1syOiez7l0n6lj2 Thank you! /u/Oblivion__ submitted by /u/Oblivion__ [link] [comments]

Facebook live video while driving

We’ve reached peak stupidity apparently. Just watched a girl do a live video in a Facebook group while she was driving. She picked up her phone multiple times, spent majority of the time reading the comments people were leaving, and at one point had her phone in one hand and was playing with her hair with the other. While driving. Not even at a traffic light. Is there anything that can be done about this? I know you can report hoons but I can’t find anywhere to report someone for breaking the law like this. And I know people will say I’m just interfering unnecessarily but that girl was risking other people’s lives and I’m pissed. submitted by /u/_heartlines [link] [comments]

Anyone involved in extreme / unusual sports or activities here?

Hi all, Some of you might already know that I am a photographer and was Australian Sports Photographer of the Year in 2014, and QLD Documentary Photographer of the year 2014,15,16. A lot of my accolades have been on the back of documenting Muay Thai. It was a sport I stumbled into by chance. I’m interested to know what sports people here might be involved with that are more unusual. I tried to talk to both the local Water Polo industry body as well as the one governing Sumo Wrestling. Unfortunately neither got back to me, so will chase again some other day. I’m interested in collaborating photographically so give me a shout out. So you know I am legit, here is some of my action photography on my new UNFINISHED website http://visualworld.com.au/action-photography-gallery/ Like seriously unfinished in that there is still lorem ipsum on there (placeholder text) and a few
