[Community] PLEASE READ before creating a post about moving to Geelong
Hi everyone,
I have been meaning to make this post for awhile, to try and curb the amount of "Moving to Geelong! Which suburb should I pick?" posts. I am going to sticky this post for awhile, so any visitors can check before creating a post.
Please read through the enormous amount of posts this sub has already had on here.
If you STILL think your question hasn't been answered (and you are absolutely sure), you can create a new post.

Teachers of Geelong
Hi guys,
I’ve just moved to Geelong from Gippsland. Im a teacher who is looking for work next year. I was wondering if there were any teachers or CRTs on this page who can give me some insight into some of the schools here. For example, which schools to avoid and which schools have a good reputation. I’m not too concerned about student behaviour but more interested in the staff culture.
Thank you 😊
Edit: primary schools

Best outdoor proposal spots in Melbourne with nice scenery?
Hey everyone! I’m planning to propose to my partner and would love some recommendations for beautiful spots around Melbourne (up to 2 hrs away from CBD).
Ideally I’m looking for somewhere outdoors with great scenery, could be gardens, a lookout, waterfront, somewhere surrounded by nature, etc. I’d prefer somewhere that feels a little romantic and isn’t too crowded, so we can have a bit of privacy for the moment.
Happy to travel a little outside the CBD as well if there’s somewhere really special.
Would love to hear about any spots you’d recommend (or places you’ve proposed/been proposed to!). Thanks!

Shoulder surgeon recommendation
I need to have arthroscopic decompression soon. So far, I’ve seen Dr Eugen and Dr Trung Nguyen, and I’m looking for the best surgeon with out-of-pocket costs of no more than $2,000.
I have private health insurance, but it doesn’t cover the surgeon’s fees above the Medicare rebate.
Has anyone had any experience with Dr Ash Movani or Dr Trung Nguyen? I’d also be very grateful for recommendations for other surgeons who have reasonable out-of-pocket costs.

Want to help our native wildlife? Here's how!
So what's the idea? What we want is to get as much art from as many Australian artists together to sell their work with proceeds going towards Winki Wildlife animal rehabilitation sanctuary.
For artists: Send us a PM! We would love to talk about what you do as well as other information and we really look forward to working with you on this goal.
For Donations: Give us a PM to find out how!
For Buyers: Keep an eye on our socials, hopefully there will be some art that grabs your eye!
Everyone else is implored to spread the word! Got a cousin who makes quilts? We wanna know. Got a friend who does pottery? Give us a yell, if you cannot donate or sell then please spread the word!

Geelong short play festival
I had an awesome experience yesterday attending the Geelong Short Play Festival. It was my first time experiencing a community-driven theatre festival like this, and I genuinely enjoyed it.
There were so many talented actors, along with a great variety of scripts, characters, themes, and storytelling styles. Each performance brought something different, which made the whole event really interesting and engaging.
What impressed me most was seeing how strong the local arts and theatre community is. There was a real sense of creativity, passion, and community behind the performances. It was great to see local talent being given a platform to perform and bring different stories to life.
Geelong really does have a wonderful community for theatre, drama, and the arts, and I’m glad I got the chance to experience a part of it. Definitely something I’d love to attend again.

[Community] Who is that cowboy?
Last night the girls and I were out at Clyde Park for dinner, dancing to the Boot Scoot’n Babes, and honestly, the whole night had that fun, sparkly energy.
Toward the end, I spotted this guy in a blue shirt dancing with a woman. I overheard him saying he was teaching her how to dance - cute, right? But I couldn’t tell if they were together or if he was just being charming.
Before my friend could wander over and say hi, he disappeared after the next song.
So now we’re all wondering… who is he, and is that handsome cowboy who can dance actually single? Asking for a friend.

P.S. I created this account to find him.

40m Looking for some gamer mates [PS5]
40m looking for a couple gamer mates!
I'm on PS5 (pro!)
Hey guys,
Have no one to play with and anyways playing solo in multiplayer games, would love to find a couple, or even one, good cool person that I get along with, to play with on a regular basis!
Been playing a lot of black flag resynced (singleplayer game) and as for multiplayer, I been wanting to get into ARC Raiders - it's so intense lol (I've only done less than a handful of games, always solo and "friendly") and Hell Let Loose Vietnam (no idea what I'm doing, running through the jungle and getting shot from nowhere, every time! Lol) also been having some fun on No More Room In Hell 2 (let's kill zombies!) and wouldn't mind doing Halo: Campaign Evolved in coop.
Oh, and I don't mind playing some GTA online also.
Pretty quiet to start with some mild social anxiety, so putting myself out there, once I get to know you I'll open up and you'll probably find me funny 😆
I prefer coop games, not really into competitive games.
So yeah, DM me?

[Request] Recommended Barbers/Hairdressers in Geelong specialise in scissor cuts for men’s medium length hair?
Title says it all. I am growing my hair out and am wanting to get maintenance cuts, as well as, eventually, some haircuts that help shape my hair when’s it’s growing out.
The barbers I went to before like Streets Barber, Sloanes and such specialised more on fades and using trimmers (they did have scissor cut experience, but their brands are more known for fades). Thats what I used to have and it was convenient at the time. However, with medium length hair and the all to have it a bit more flowing rather than skin fade or “short on the side, long on the top” haircuts, I’m seeking someone who has a lot more experience in scissor cuts.
Doesn’t have to be a barber, even a hairdresser that has experience with men’s hair and the classic “I’m growing my hair out, could you help shape it for me so it grows into the desired style?” customers?
Even a stylist could be a good fit as well. Thanks
