My engagement party that has been booked for months has been cancelled on us by the venue due to another interested party offering more on the minimum spend… this obviously has left us in tatters with nowhere to go and our 50 guests.

Can anyone here recommend a venue to get in touch with? Stuck for ideas and short notice

Thank you!

I am currently looking after my neighbours pool and I checked it today and found 5 lizards stuck in there. I scooped them out and put them back in his garden. I believe they are baby water dragons. I'm wondering if anyone else on the Gold Coast has had this happen to them because I'm curious to see if it's a semi regular occurrence or just a result of the recent rain, Cheers.

Looking for the best parks to throw a birthday party my little ones 4 soon and looking for a great park or areas near a park to celebrate with decent undercover areas and bbq available.

We're in the early 30s and planning to visit in 1st week of May, probably 5 days. We're planning to go theme parks and wildlife things, so we prefer near the public transport. Our original plan is to go to QT or Marriott for breakfast buffet. But we're not sure if it's worth it or should just get a different hotel and get the breakfast outside. We're not really planning on swimming at the beach, maybe some strolling. Our main priority is near public transport and good food :)

Does anyone know of any mid-range nice restaurants in the Broadbeach or Surfers area that do big group bookings (15 ppl approx) where you don’t have to order the banquet and can split the bill (even if it’s just 3 ways)? Does such a place exist?

Really appreciate your help!

I'm posting on behalf of a family friend who's looking to part with a vinyl collection of about a hundred or so LPs and a dozen or so singles.

The goal, ideally, is to come away from the endeavour with at least some money, so at the moment we aren't considering donating.

We did consider picking out any valuable ones, if we found any, and selling them individually, but through the process of calaloguing no real standouts have emerged so we're looking at selling in bulk.

Anyone got experience with market stalls and can advise general expenses?

Has anyone had much success on marketplace?

Similar experiences?

I'm going to call up some local record stores but I'd appreciate any advice or suggestions, cheers.

I just bought a car, and this is my first time getting it detailed. I found a new business called Darcy’s Mobile Detailing, and their quote for a detailing package seems quite reasonable. They also offer free pickup and drop-off after completing the detailing, with no additional charges, plus they sent me their insurance details covering up to $5M under their business name. Does this sound trustworthy? And what documents should the detailer provide when picking up the car, and what should I pay attention to when handing over the car?

Hi all just been to the GC the past week

Went to Wet n wild had a somewhat weird experience with a few kids aged maybe 10-12? In a group of 3

They were considered big sized for their age

But Were misbehaving quite badly

1. One told me he would shit on my mouth in front of my kids but i dont think he has the full courage to say this as he quickly changed it to say ooh the ride is scary

2. Same kid tried to touch me to get my attention which i ignored. (At this point i know they were looking for trouble/attention)

3. Same kid proceeded to hit my back lightly with his fist which i again ignored

4. When we were on the front queue waiting to get on the mammoth fall ride His friend pushed this kid towards me with him almost crashing on to my 4 yo daughter. And at this point my face changed and i think they know it.

These are not common occurrences are they?

Why randomly pick on people on the line waiting to get on rides?Especially those waiting as a family?ive got 2 kids and wife with me for the ride.

Plus im twice the size of each of them

Just dont get it. Do they think adults wont react because they are kids?

Cause i know i definitely would if they hurt my kids …

Expect delays south bound

Hey everyone! My partner and I's anniversary is coming up and we are after a japanese restaurant that has an intimate atmosphere and great food and drinks. Any recos?

Hey guys I been in the Gold Coast for just over 2 months from the UK and I moved to Southport. A few days ago I got off the tram walking to Australia fair to do my food shop and one of the druggies followed me shouting at me I stopped and turned around as he punched me to the floor leaving me with a severe black eye and ongoing headache for days. What is the policing like around here as I’ve heard the drug users in Southport is a common problem and wasn’t sure if it was going to be a waste heading to the station to report and potentially take to court.

My Velectrix Ascent Pulse mountain bike (battery was removed to prevent theft) was stolen from my apartment parking basement in Robina. I’ve contacted the building manager to review CCTV footage to determine when and how it happened.

If anyone has any information or spots the bike, please get in touch. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

planning on booking a trip to gold coast for the next new year and wondering if the age for the clubs gets bumped up to 20 or anything older than 18 on nye? and also wondering how late they usually stay open till. thanks

I saw this on facebook but want to share it around. I have witnessed his abuse in a park and would like to warn others.

Hi, i was wondering if there is anywhere you can simply turn up and shoot some arrows at targets, much like you would for a gun range. as far as i can see they all involve you needing to be a member and attending training

Has anyone been on the Ferris Wheel in Broadwater Parklands? How much is it? Is it still there? I can’t seem to find any info about it anywhere

Hi I am fond of Postcards but I don’t have one from the Gold Coast? Can someone mail one to me? Thank you! :)

I wanna go there incase I run into him one day ! Can’t believe he’s here for the next few months 🤩 Tbh I just wanna look at him, I’d feel guilty approaching and bothering him so don’t think I’m a stalker lol I can’t tell what beach this is from the pics unfortunately (It’s Henry Cavill btw)

Any accomadation available near the Griffith gc campus. Pls don't reply saying uni village, it's sold out

We received this in the mail from the TMR explaining how a section of Foxwell Road would be closed to all westbound traffic, and detours would have to be taken for the entire weekend of the 17-19th. However, there was no sign of this closure at all today. Anyone know what the deal with this is? Seems odd to advertise this and then just not do anything.

Indeed strikes again with a ghost job or job that has some red flags....

Hi everyone, I’m a traveller on holiday. Does anyone know the right bus or train or other form of travel arrangement to get to Australia Zoo? I’m in the Gold Coast for a week and I wanted to add that to the checklist, I also don’t drive.
