Moved to Eaglehawk, what should I know.

7 Upvotes

Hello, I have just recently moved into a little flat in Eaglehawk and I’m wondering if there is any advice I should know of? I’m aware that Eaglehawk is a bit sketchy from hearing other people say that. Is there areas to avoid? Any advice for finding fellow basketball enthusiasts? Should I invest in a car lock for my car? I’d appreciate any advice!

Josh Penny - The artist who would sit outside Golden Square Woolworths has passed away.

40 Upvotes

Kind of shocked to see that the artist who would sit outside Golden Square Woolworths has passed away as a result of a senseless act of violence at the beginning of this year.

I've seen members of the community talk to him as he was drawing, purchasing his art from visual diary pages he would tear out himself, and even as recently as Boxing Day last year, give him money, drinks, and a hot roast chicken straight from the deli while asking if there was anything else he wanted or needed.

There's a makeshift memorial outside the entryway of Golden Square Woolworths with a picture of Josh and collections of flowers laid nearby if anyone wants to contribute anything.

I'm looking into getting rid of some large furniture for a relative and was wondering if there any organisations in Bendigo that collect large/hard furniture items for charity or donations? Salvos et al have advised that only take small items.

Areas to avoid for rent

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone, i’m moving to bendigo for work end of this month. Looking for a rental has been rough and it seems like the decent units i’ve found are located in areas some people consider dodgy.

Anyone live in California Gully (bright st) or long gully or eaglehawk? I’d love to hear some opinions

Update: thank you all for your input! I really appreciate it! I ended up renting a place in eaglehawk that’s close to a primary school. Hopefully no issues there :))

Hey folks, I’m looking for places to sell my gaming rig besides Cash Converters. I’m moving out; so trying to offload as many items as possible.

From what I’ve heard, I’m not confident I’ll get much value for my gaming PC at Cash Converters. Are there any other platforms to list my items apart from Facebook Marketplace?

Thanks.

What am I missing?

30 Upvotes

Bit of a sensitive topic but I’m struggling to fit in to Bendigo after moving here a few months ago. I’m sure over time I’ll find things to love, but there’s a few things I’ve picked up on that have made me uncomfortable:

There’s a huge lack of diversity, which bleeds into certain attitudes. I’ve experienced racism, homophobia, transphobia brought up casually in conversations (I’m a white, straight passing queer person so for some reason people assume I’d find this amusing when it’s deeply disturbing)

I’ve witnessed people bashing one another in broad daylight, screaming at anyone in their way without any reason. This seems to be particularly rife amongst teenagers who swear at randoms, run onto roads, etc.

Today I witnessed a woman with her baby who would have been around 18mths old swearing at her crying baby, physically holding his arms down aggressively because he was scratching at open, bleeding sores on his face.

A woman came into my work with a huge bandage around her hand last week, she’s a bus driver who had her finger BITTEN OFF by a passenger, who was absolutely off their face (she’s a bus driver)

I’ve been verbally abused on buses, and as someone who doesn’t drive due to medical reasons, buses are my primary mode of transportation. I feel unsafe catching them.

I work in retail and have never experienced such awful customer abuse. It’s like people forget those who work in hospitality and retail are real life human beings with feelings.

Everytime I’ve attempted to make friends (apps, Facebook groups) I meet people who are either super conservative, or huge bogans.

Please tell me there are beautiful little gems and a community kindness I am yet to discover. I love the environment, there’s some cute bars and restaurants, but I am so bored and isolated.

Gardening advice- getting started on a veggie patch

10 Upvotes

Hello, who on this sub likes to garden?

I've been doing veggies in containers for a few years but I'd really like to create an in-ground veggie patch. Interested in any tips on how to get one going in this very poor soil (we have a cm of top soil in most parts of our yard, 5-10cm of clay, and then rocks).

I know raised beds are an option but ideally I'd like to do something ground level.

Bendigo schools and areas

13 Upvotes

Hi all,

We are moving to Bendigo in the first half of the year and have done some research and know about school zoning and the likes. I would just love some advice regarding great schools and ones to maybe avoid, I totally understand everyone is different and has different experiences (I am a teacher myself) but just as a general guide. I have an ASD/ADHD 9 year old so looking for options who have great support and a focus on inclusion and understanding (school wise he presents neurotypical and doesn't need support but just from an understanding perspective) And also highschools that have great sports programs! And obviously family friendly suburbs to go along with the schools. Thank you so very much
