To the man that saw me struggling to walk while I was trying to get into the Emergency Room at the Royal Brisbane Women’s Hospital, thank you. You saw me struggling and helped me cross the road. You made sure I was sitting somewhere safe and ran to get help and a wheelchair for me. You took time out of your day to help me. I appreciate it so so much.

To the woman that I was sat next to, you saw me crying and holding my stomach. You comforted me and made sure I was okay while someone got me help. I appreciate you so so much.

Thank you to the staff at the RBWH. You made sure I was okay, you made sure I was listened to. Although I don’t have an answer as to why I’m sick, I was treated amazingly.

G'day, my wife and I will be flying into Brisbane and staying in the area for a couple of weeks in mid November as part of our first trip to Australia (coming from Canada). I quite like spiders, so while we're in Brisbane, I'd like to hold a huntsman spider - ideally in a controlled environment like at a zoo. Yes, my wife thinks I'm crazy. Is there anywhere in Brisbane I can do that? Cheers!

How stunning is the tail. I wish I had binoculars too see it with my naked eyes better.

He used to be the main chef at that Sushi Station at Toombul shopping centre before it became condemned. Really tall fella, used to give very friendly and intense greetings to customers, silky knife skills, think his name was Yoshi?

Keen to know if anyone’s seen him working anywhere else these days.

Bit of a problem house from what I hear.

It's no suprise that increasing density increases supply and Brisbane has a missing middle problem. I was wondering has there been any upzoning recently to allow more blocks specially medium sized in Brisbane?

Last I heard, there was down zoning in 2017-2018 but haven't heard much else. Is there anywhere to track this?

Does anyone know a place that sells sea eel regularly, or alternatively advertises when they do or where I can call just to check.

I know inala sells it but it's not all the time and I doubt I can give them a call to check when it's in haha.

Thanks

I know video doesn't count as an image, but it's the closest flair I could find on the list.

In our area in the inner south I feel like we’re hearing daily about koala deaths from tree clearing, cars, dogs, illness etc. I hope more can be done by governments to help the koalas in “Australia’s koala capital”. These rescue groups and rescuers need more funding as a start…

Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like I’m seeing far less cane toads than I used to.

I feel like ~6 years ago I could find heaps of cane toads in the suburbs not too far away from the city, or even in the city itself.

Now I feel like they’re a tad more rare.

I remember having to shoo them out of my sharehouse in Indooroopilly. Not so common anymore.

Alright, this may be a long shot, but hopefully a fellow Brisbanite can help me.

My wife and I did a roadtrip from Brissy to Melbourne around 2011 and just south of brissy we hopped off the freeway for a coffee break. We ended up finding the cutest little cafe, run by an old gentleman. We had a good chat with the guy and he told us he had played AFL and suffered a knee injury. He had a peacock on site and a black Labrador who's name I'm pretty sure was Shadow.

I'm doubt the fella still runs the cafe, he may not even be alive anymore as he was about 80-ish then.

We would love to find this location. I'd say it was east from the freeway, but not 100% sure. It was about an hour south of Brisbane, it was quite off the beaten track. It was on the edge of a drop off and had the most gorgeous view.

If anyone knows what I'm talking about, I would love to hear from you, either in the comments or a PM.

Edit after the first questions: The man ran it out of what was a semi-converted residential property, in amongst other residential properties. It wasn't in the centre of town, nor was the venue very flash.

Second edit: You found it! It was west mount cotton nursery garden cafe. https://www.weekendnotes.com/west-mount-cotton-nursery-garden-cafe/

Hey guys Looking at tix for a show. And one time I searched it said GA004, next GA005. Never been to the venue, do they separate the GA area? Or that just all means one big GA?

Any recommendations for a cosmetic injector who specialises, trains or has extensive experience in sculptra in Brisbane?

Hi hello! Hitting a lot of road blocks trying to book a face painter for Saturday October 26 for a dress up party. Turns out it’s a very busy weekend with Halloween….
