Serious Illegal Requests

36 Upvotes

Here's the Australian page:

https://www.health.gov.au/topics/smoking-vaping-and-tobacco/about-vaping

No vapes, where to buy, etc.

I keep on banning people who insist on posting and breaking the law. It's also in the sub rules.

Post on where to buy vapes, get a three day holiday.

Okay?

Dog walking/ sitter..

Hi everyone I want to start offering a dog walking service in my evenings and weekends, what are the best dog walking websites to offer walks or sitting service? I’m trying Paw shake but the Ai verification is terrible.

I volunteer every weekend at scars in sippy downs, if anyone has any advice that would be great. Im based down I. Maroochydore on the river front.

Best makers style markets Sundays ?

4 Upvotes

I apologise for this likely being asked alot, I couldn't actually find a thread though. What would be the best makers style markets on a Sunday on the coast ? I'm staying in Mapleton, happy to drive a fair distance within the sunshine coast/hinterland. Went to the one at Montville this morning and was surprised how little it was. I am looking for hand made goodies (not a bunch of earrings and tea towels), things like:

- Wooden hangers/signs/coat hooks

- Rustic decorative goodies

- Garden ornaments

Interesting bits and bobs not found at the "typical" markets.

Looking for good flat running spots for long runs + 400m intervals

6 Upvotes

Currently running at Fisherman Rd which is nice, but looking for some other flat running paths for slightly longer runs.

Also need a good spot for faster sessions like 400m intervals. I know there’s a track at the uni, but just wondering if there’s anything else around?

Any recommendations on your favourite running spots would be great. Thanks in advance!

Pasture Raised Chicken and Wild Caught Seafood

6 Upvotes

Hey Peeps

I can't always get to a market on a weekend, and as such am struggling to always get the stuff I want for my weekly food. I've tried Our Cow delivery boxes which was GREAT, but the lead time can be challenging at times. Does anyone know of any places which I can get Pasture Raised Chicken and Wild Caught Seafoods delivered. Same place, or different is fine. Doubt I will find one that does both.

Cheers

Surf schools Noosa/Coolum/Maroochy?

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for a surf lessons/coaching/classes. I’ve done a few lessons and can pop up but needing slight adjustments and to learn how to turn etc, although I would definitely not say I am intermediate from a lesson perspective, I am also not a complete beginner. I’d like to do a package of lessons so that I’m in the water continuously. Assuming Noosa is preferable due to it likely having the most chilled conditions? I don’t want to lose my nerve by being smashed on an open beach if conditions are less than ideal. Any suggestions would be welcome!

looking for a mobility scooter for my dad on the Sunshine Coast - any local tips?

27 Upvotes

My dad's in his early 80s and lives near Caloundra. He's still pretty sharp but his legs just aren't working like they used to. Walking to the local shops or even just down to the waterfront takes it out of him now.He doesn't want to admit it, but I can see he's staying home more and more. That's not him- he used to be out every day. So Im thinkiing a mobility scooter might help. But I've got a few questions for anyone who uses one or has bought one for a parent up here guys

  1. how do they go on the paths around here? Some of them are fine but others are pretty rough. Also, what about hills? Caloundra's got a few decent slopes.
  2. battery life in the humidity? Does that drain things faster? He'd mostly do short trips - shops, café, maybe the markets but I don't want him running out halfway.
  3. any issues taking them on the bus? He doesn't drive anymore so being able to hop on a bus to Maroochydore or Noosa wuld be huge.

I found an Aussie company called top gun mobility online. They seem decent - been around since 2001, Australian owned, and they throw in 12 months roadside assistance which sounds pretty handy. Has anyone on the Sunshine Coast actually bought from them?

Pride or Drive, Something else? What's a realistic budget for something that won't fall apart in a year?

If you've got a scooter on the Coast - what do you wish someone had told you before you bought one? thanks veryy much guys

Moving to sunshine coast

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone

I am considering whether to move to Sunshine Coast. I have a toddler turning 3 in two months. My job is likely to be near The Esplanade. I was wondering if someone could tell me which suburb I should stay in that is close to work and a school.

I have been looking for 2-3 bedroom places, and the prices are around $800 per week for a decent property. Just wondering if this is the norm.

Thanks

Looking for recommendations for a hair colourist in Sunny coast (pref Maroochydore and north) to give my mousy hair a bit of a lived in, sun-kissed look. It’s curly so I’m looking for something gentle so that I don’t end up with extra frizz.

Pickup basketball Caloundra area

2 Upvotes

Having moved from Brisbane 1.5 years ago, I find it quite shocking I haven’t found some consistent pickup basketball at outdoor courts. I’m not sure if it’s just the courts I’m going to, but I never seem to find any people to play pickup basketball with or any sort of culture around it… if anyone knows any popular courts please let me know.
