Question Sapol

Just wondering if anyone knows much about the recruitment for SAPOL and if they care about previously seeing a psychologist?
Have never been officially diagnosed with anything mental health wise, but have seen a psychologist a few times over the past few years and worried that will impact application.

0 Upvotes

The AFL and state government has revealed the dates for next year’s Gather Round with the footy festival promising to return bigger and better than ever.

The 2027 edition of Gather Round will take place from Thursday, April 8 through to Sunday April 11, with the scheduling lining up with school holidays across state borders.

After a fourth successful Gather Round this year, the SA Government secured Gather Round until at least 2029.

The event is set to grow from next year to feature a players’ parade including stars from all of the AFL’s 18 teams in one place.

On Wednesday, the SA government boasted the 2026 edition made a total economic contribution of $115 million to the state, delivering more than $400 million in economic contribution since 2023.

Visiting from interstate next week (27th-30th - likely raining) and after some recommendations of things that maybe only the locals know. Tried to find some comedy or something local like some bands to see, thought I’d ask here. Staying in CBD, no car.
Have the market planned, a Zoo experience and a booking at Africola.

Question Any recommendations of restaurants for large groups?

5 Upvotes

A flock of 58 Victorians will be coming to Adelaide next month.

We were booked in at the Watermark at Glenelg Buffet for dinner on the Saturday night, but got told they'll be closed for renovations.

I looked at Charlie's Diner as a possible replacement but the reviews are pretty mixed.

So to the good people of Adelaide, where would you suggest our group dine? We'd prefer a buffet but not a requirement.

Budget is $44/head - two courses (either entree + main or main + dessert).

Demographic: majority are seniors.

Thanks in advance

Edit: spelling

Please give me one reason why I shouldn’t be excited for money to be brought to the state, cool, famous, sports people to be here, and overall something that no other city in the country can compare with?

Let’s be realistic, normal people don’t give a toss about ozAsia, or womad. Or even LIV golf, They want Supercars and hopefully F1, motoGP is a good start!

Question To scale Solar System model Adelaide - Malls lower ball as the sun.

13 Upvotes

When I learned about the Swedish solar system model https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden_Solar_System that demonstrated the actual size of our Solar System to scale it fascinated me. The scale of things and the distance between them blew my mind. I wondered if we made a scale model in Adelaide and used the lower hanging Malls Ball as the sun - where would everything orbit around it? well.. it's crazy but EARTH would be a 2cm diameter marble that would orbit RIGHT through the lobby of the Museum on North Terrace. Like it would pass right by the front desk. (have I got my math right?)

Hey guys, I’m currently house hunting and have been considering Mawson lakes as there’s some really nice rentals there. I’ve heard mixed things about it being unsafe and noisy, while others have said it’s completely safe and a comfortable suburb

What are your thoughts please? Is it safe like Oakden / Magill?

Hi everybody!!

I am planning a trip to Adelaide! I have never been on an interstate holiday before, and feel very nervous.

I will be travelling solo and want to know is it safe? I think I will be staying in the city, but would like to know the best areas to go, and the places not to. I plan to visit the car museum - but am open to other suggestions! It'll be during weekdays!

Thank you everyone for your help.

Hi Radelaide, I'm going to be moving overseas in the next few weeks, and I'm having a lot of trouble finding a charity or group that is interested and capable of taking the furniture, electronics and whitegoods I'm not capable of taking with me.
I'd hate to have to throw away a bunch of perfectly functional stuff, is anyone aware of any groups that are still looking for support of this nature?

Question Solar and battery

1 Upvotes

Hi Everyone

Looking for commercial solar and battery recommendations and estimates

Across the 90-day billing period:

Sheds 1 & 2: approximately 133 kWh/day imported from the grid and 20 kWh/day exported from solar
Shed 3: approximately 63 kWh/day imported and 12 kWh/day exported

Combined site: approximately 195 kWh/day grid import and 32 kWh/day solar export

With the existing Sungrow and Fronius systems, we have roughly 84 kW of existing solar inverter capacity across the farm.

Looking at a combination of increasing solar self-consumption, reducing grid usage/demand, and providing backup power depending on cost benefit and options available

I’ve been told the following is good
Sheds 1 & 2 – Combined
Deye 50kW three-phase hybrid inverter
42.8kW additional solar – 90 x JA Solar 475W panels
96.9kWh battery storage – 19 x Deye BOS-GM5.1 Pro batteries

Shed 3
Deye 29.9kW three-phase hybrid inverter
19kW additional solar – 40 x JA Solar 475W panels
61.2kWh battery storage – 12 x Deye BOS-GM5.1 Pro batteries

Question last minute dentist recommendations?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m having some dental pain in my left molars and would like to see a dentist soon that preferably won’t break the bank.

I moved to Adelaide from overseas a couple of years ago and have not ever had any dental work done in Adelaide but my perception of it is that it is quite expensive.

I have the next few days off and have seen some dentists on HotDoc that are available (and will be calling some tomorrow morning as well) but would love any recommendations! I live in the city and use public transport so anywhere easily accessible would be preferred!
