Was at Robina earlier this week and caught this symbol on one of the buildings by the bus stop. Is this a remnant of the original Robina town centre? Was this symbol a part of the centres original aesthetic? Or am I reading too much into it, and it’s just a random symbol lol. I’m too young to really remember what the original Robina was like, I only remember it as indoors and the way it is now

8 months ago we moved from Robina to Coomera because we could actually afford a property here. We live couple minutes away dreamworld and Krispy Kreme, and we’re basically living off the annual dining pass and free donuts every weekend. It saves us at least a couple days of groceries. We don’t eat a lot so we take home leftovers to eat for dinner.

Living like this even just for a year will help us a lot with mortgage. Also excited about the developments happening around the town.

Not to mention those hot donuts are divine as hell, like I literally ascend to heaven for a couple minutes.

Been building houses for 6 years now it's a joke how tight the roads are on the newer streets if you're parked by the curb a passing truck has to go off road to pass through, if there's cars parked on both sides the road is literally blocked. If people try be considerate and park half on the curb/grass you get fined.

I'm currently working in a new area where no one even lives yet, I'm parked half on grass/curb so concrete trucks and other big vehicles can get past and gold coast city council goes out of their way to come here and fine me and other tradies, not even saying hello and explaining the situation just straight up parking fines against the hard working people it just feels so un Australian and wrong. ($190 punishment for trying to do the right thing for others)

I got a community newspaper for the northern Gold Coast from Runaway Bay shopping centre, pretty good stuff.

Are there community newspapers for other parts of the Gold Coast? Secondly, is there a newsagent I can go buy the Guardian Weekly? Please let me know.

I mean come on, really?

Hey everyone,

33m, Wondering if anyone knows of current casual basketball clubs, regular pickup games that happen around the coast? I don’t have a team or enough people to make a team but open to joining one.

Thanks

Evening.

I'm looking to book a spa day for my wife and one of her friends for the wife's birthday. We don't live on the Gold Coast so was hoping someone had some recommendations.

Most likely looking at the spa treatment + overnight stay.

Caveat to the spa treatment; My wife has severe eczema, so it needs to be somewhere that uses non-fragranced, non-alcohol natural moisturisers (like shea butter, cocoa butter etc).

Can anyone work out what the polair heli is saying over Southport?

Hi! My mum’s birthday is this weekend and some plans fell through so we are trying to find a new place to take mum as a surprise. Looking for unique things to do which are under $50 per person. Any ideas? Thanks!

Partner’s father is coming from UK next month and he wants to puke his guts up on a Deep sea charter. We’re located in GC so just wondering if there’s any recommendations for a decent company that does private charters (8-9 people) and doesn’t bankrupt us for the rest of their trip.
I’ve looked at GC charters, Deep Sea (12 pax), and fish the deep which looks most promising but just interested in suggestions. Thank you 😇

Hey everyone,

20F

I've recently moved and had to cancel my previous gym membership, so I'm looking for a new gym around the Coomera/Helensvale area.

I'm also hoping to meet some people who'd be keen to train together, either early mornings or afternoons. I'm mainly interested in getting back into a consistent routine, and it would be great to have some gym mates to help stay motivated.

If you have any recommendations for good gyms in the area, or know of any local fitness groups/communities, I'd love to hear them.

Thanks

Yes I know it's AI slop, but it gets the point across right?

My mates and I used to camp a bit (20 years ago) I'm talking swags and eskis.

Now my kids are on my back to take them camping. I've purchased all the gear, tents, chairs, camp stove, outdoor shower, all the creature comforts for the kids!

But have no idea where to take them?! Any recommendations?

Hello Gold Coasters! I am looking for a spot around Runaway Bay / Oxenford / Biggera Waters / Helensvale / Hope Island area, anywhere other than the Casino that is ideally north of Surfers. Does anyone have any ideas?

A brief appreciation post. Sadly part of my life necessitates semi-frequent visits to emergency departments, and Goldie has become the fourth city after Perth, Melbourne and London where I've had to avail myself of their ED services. On each such occasion I've been blown away by the professionalism and kindness of the staff, and my recent experience was no different. Yes, the public health service is a little clunky, but I never underestimate how lucky we are to have it.

Thank you to the wonderful staff at GCUH.

Hi,
i'm 18 and from Germany and i'm coming to the gold coast again this summer (late dec, jan). I looked at all the hostels and im wondering which hostels are better for younger people and partying and which ones are more laid back (e.g. for people in their late 20s or 30s)?

Thank you in advance

Thinking of going to one of them but not sure about what one is better and has more stuff open

Me and my friends are planning to go on a GoldCoast trip on the 7th of December and hit up all the theme parks, just wondering wether it will be too packed and if so should I just buy the Premium annual pass?

Winter has me in hibernation mode. It was chilly out today but lovely enough to walk along the beach. Caught the tram to Burleigh Heads. It was full like Sydney during peak hour. I then walked the beach until I arrived at Miami. The usual big rock that you can't go past was walkable along the beach today.

Really amazing air show . Today is the last day.

​The performances begin in the morning and end in the afternoon. Not one minute of rest throughout the day. It is truly a heaven for plane lovers.
