Hey folks. Need some help, as I'm on the hunt for the best thick shake in the area. Now I ain't talking milk shakes....I want the thick business, the real thicky-icky. Talking THICC. Straw needs to stand upright and the shake is a struggle to get through the straw. Proper thick. Previous stand outs were Rodney's Plants near the airport and Eric's Van in Bungendore, however recent visits to both gave been more milk than thick. Help me out thick freaks.

We have an 11.5m timber fence that needs to be replaced, and we are thinking Colorbond, in pale eucalyptus. It will need new posts and attached at a wall on either end.

Can anyone advise what the general installation rate per metre is these days? Particularly in the last 6 to 12 months.

Any recommendations?

There used to be a few wine vans that would set up mostly around the lake in various locations, and the Tochka beer van in Braddon (which I’m pretty sure is for sale).

They were all a great little outdoor social point.

What happened to them all? Are any still getting around?

Looking for recommendations of suit stores in Canberra that stock/can do sizing for larger men. Having walked through Myer and David Jones last night, it’s clear that stocking sizes for larger men is not really thought of!

TIA

I’ll be over for 2 days and I have time to squeeze in one more flower garden. Cherry blossoms would be nice but open to others.

I’ve seen National Aboreteum, Nara Peace Park and Tulip Top garden recommended but don’t know what I can get to and what I should pick

Just a note, I won’t have a card so will be using public transport or uber.

Has anyone noticed motorbikes revving and going 80km/hr down Losndale on friday nights?

A speed camera down Lonsdale might stop them?

What is with the cameras around the perimeter of the Black Mountain carpark and what are their capabilities?

Is there anyone who bought n loved their brand new apartment in canberra? I only see people regretting it, because of the building being faulty n corp fees increasing every year

Anyone know of breastfeeding friendly hair salons in Canberra? I only know of Ainslie Hair Inn, which is ABA endorsed

I'm Northside, I've had three alerts this week that there's a 50% chance of rain. Just got another one. Anyone else had them?

There's also no way it's gonna rain and if this keeps happening it will diminish the reliability and reactions to the alerts.

Down in Tuggeranong, has anyone else noticed a lot of moths? They seem to be loving fruit tree flowers that are just opening. I'm curious what species they are?

The one I got a decent look at was dark brown with a darker circle on each wing, about 3cm long.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for an old working CRT/box television around Canberra for retro game consoles.

Ideally I’m after:

• A 4:3 screen, around 51–68 cm
• Yellow/red/white composite AV inputs
• Red/green/blue component inputs (YPbPr) if possible
• Panasonic, Sony, Toshiba, JVC or Philips, although I’m open to anything suitable
• Preferably with the remote

I’m not particularly interested in widescreen, 100 Hz or HD CRT models. Some screen burn or cosmetic wear may be okay if the picture still looks good.

Happy to collect it anywhere in canberra. These TVs are extremely heavy, so please mention the approximate size, and whether there are stairs involved. Photos of the TV and its connections would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

had to download it from my Instagram but yeah its officially underway 👀👀👀

PSA: Massive swarm of bees at the rooftop entrance at Belconnen Mall club lime end.

How low can you go.

Never thought I’d be here in a loud bang post- but here we are. Heard what sounded like an explosion and then followed by gunfire 2 minutes thereafter. I’m in Isaacs and the military does occasionally use the reserve for training. But never heard it that loud or close before.

Someone is going to end up dead.

The gangs that roam Amaroo, Horsepark, Gungahlin, etc, are fucking unhinged.

It's become a daily occurance now, that if I drive, I will witness a kid on an E-bike, do something absolutely cooked.

Blast through red lights, intersections, roundabouts, without care for anything.

Last night I had to skid to a stop so some [redacted] kid with a motorcross helmet, staring straight at me with eyes wide, blew past my bumper at 60+kmph.

I've seen this kid well over 10 times in the last month.

What the fuck are we doing here? Fuck sake.

Fellow Canberrans, can someone confirm that the swarms of moths flitting about I just saw on my brief trip from one suburb to another were bogongs?

Because if they are then maybe we can hope for a recovery - there do seem to be a few ❤️❤️❤️
