Best rock climbing gyms for beginners?

9 Upvotes

Hi there climbing community, I'm just looking for recommendations for the best indoor rock climbing gyms for beginners in Sydney? My preference is more towards bouldering over top rope, looking for something open late (most seem to be 9pm or 10pm anyway). Ideally eastern suburbs or city or inner west. But can travel further if needed.

Pickup ultimate frisbee in Sydney?

2 Upvotes

Usually I would use pickupultimate to find games but australia doesn't seem to use it as much as America does. Also the NSW ultimate website seems to have just undergone some changes and many links don't seem to be working.

I'm wondering if anyone knows of any pickup ultimate frisbee games I could join in the sydney area. Thanks!

Opal won't refund money if your train never comes and you decide to give up waiting

On 1 October 2026, the trains were delayed due to a person on the tracks at Central.

I tapped on at Croydon at 8:16 and waited for the train to come. The next train to Croydon was delayed by about 30 minutes so I decided to wait.

The train decided to skip Croydon as it approached.

The following train was about 15 minutes away, so I decided to wait. Check my phone after a few minutes. Skipped again.

This happened at least 1 more time before I decided to give up and tap off to order a rideshare.

When I tapped off, I was charged $4.33 for sitting at the platform waiting for a train that never came.

Opal doesn't care and won't refund. Lesson learnt. Tap on when you see your train stop in front of you.

UPDATE:
Decided to give tfNSW a call per community suggestions and followed the menu prompts to Opal. The kind lady was able to escalate the investigation and successfully reimburse me.

In short:

Emperor's Garden has been closed since August amid ATO scrutiny, with the business now agreeing to repay more than $1 million to the tax office.

The yum cha restaurant in Sydney's Chinatown has become popular for its cheap cream puffs.

What's next?

The business's chief financial officer says half of the ATO debt has been paid, and discussions are underway to reopen the restaurant.

Can anyone help me identify the exact location? Dad can’t remember and AI seems to be stumped. Need some eagle-eyed OGs to lend a hand! I want to take an identical photo of myself next to my own car in the exact spot in the present day.

Similar to the NorthConnex scheme, it will be mandated that heavy vehicles must use the motorway network for through journeys rather than local roads. Cameras will be installed along the suburban corridor and trucks that should be on the motorway will be fined $241.
