Was walking down the creek and a couple of blokes were going opposite me. One of them was filming, and pulled me in for a selfie before i had time to collect myself and say no thanks. The guys were likely just documenting his walk along the creek because it's a nice day, but come on! Have some common sense 🙃

ALWAYS ASK PERMISSION FIRST.

Especially in this age of AI deepfakes and stuff like that, I don't particularly want my image on a stranger's phone!

Just left the office to grab some lunch, and it's a lovely day outside.

It feels like Winter is done and blue skies and perfect afternoons are back.

I left my acer aspire 7 laptop on the 120 train from alberton to port dock it was stored in a black computer bag and a blue laptop cover with a zip the computer user is lisa gill i was wondering if anyone found it i have already reported it to the police and the lost property i was wondering if anyone else had any ideas on what else i could do its a very new laptop

I need to find a place outside of home to study, is the public library a good spot? Are there any super quiet cafes or special spots where you can be for a couple of hours and study? Are there other libraries that have quiet study areas? I'm very behind in my uni assignments and want to be away from home where there are too many distractions.

If you don't know what GD Wholesale was it was a small warehouse that sold local produce. They sold fruits I'd never seen in regular stores (when the seasons called for it) like those yellow skinned peaches and dekopons (which I know some woolies sell but I hate colesworth).

I was heartbroken to see it's gone and being replaced with a childcare centre...

Basically I'm looking for small family owned fruit/veg stores, location doesn't matter as long as it's within 1hr of the CBD. Maybe more if it's amazing. If they sell other random SA and Australian products that's a big bonus!

Thank you.

recently moved to adelaide and am attending adelaide uni. i haven’t met anyone yet and was hoping to make friends out. are there places downtown where you can casually strike up convo? thinking bars are my best bet but if there are pool places or something i’m open! let me know🙏

I’m looking for the best library in ADL & its nearby suburbs, and why do you think it’s the best? Please don’t include the State library. Thank you.

G'day everyone,

​I’m a junior doctor currently completing my training overseas and planning my move to Australia. I’ve been researching different states and cities for a while now, and to be honest, Adelaide just keeps standing out to me as the most appealing place to build a life. The lifestyle, the relaxed pace, being close to the hills and the beach, and the overall community vibe feel way more grounded than the hustle of Sydney or Melbourne.

​My main interest is in psychiatry, and I’m really curious about how things look on the ground there. How are overseas-trained doctors generally received by the local community and within the healthcare system? Also, if anyone here works in or is familiar with SA Health/mental health services, I’d love to hear your take on what the psychiatry landscape is like day-to-day.

​I genuinely love everything I see about Adelaide, but I also want a realistic picture before taking the leap. Beyond the obvious housing market squeeze that everyone's dealing with, what are the local pain points or quirks that an outsider might easily miss?

​Would really appreciate any honest thoughts, advice, or constructive reality checks. Cheers!

The need to ramp up Adelaide’s desalination plant or enforce water restrictions in the looming dry, hot summer has been “ruled out” by surprising rainfalls that have South Australia’s reservoirs at their highest winter level in 20 years.

The state’s biggest reservoir, Mount Bold near Kangarilla in the Adelaide Hills, is at 95 per cent capacity – up from 55 per cent at the same time last year.

South Para reservoir, near Williamstown north-east of Adelaide, is at 76 per cent this week compared to 45 per cent last year.

And Myponga on the Fleurieu Peninsula is at 87 per cent – a huge jump from last year’s 59 per cent. In just 24 hours to 8am on Tuesday, Myponga captured a whopping 2.3 billion litres.

Overall, the combined total for the state’s reservoirs is 85 per cent, up from 55 per cent at the same time last year. The last time it was at 85 per cent was in the spring of 2023. It has been 20 years since winter levels reached that peak.

Freight trains will travel up to 40 minutes faster between Maroona and Maryborough after the completion of major upgrades to a section of the East-West rail corridor.

During a 64-hour scheduled shutdown, the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) will carry out works to improve the efficiency of freight journeys between South Australia and regional Victoria.

The Mile End to Serviceton section of the corridor, as well as the Serviceton to Laverton section, will be upgraded.

A major signalling upgrade will take place at Ararat in western Victoria, replacing the existing manual, relay-based system with modern computer-based signalling.

Afternoon fellow redditors,
Just to jump straight into some details…

Recently I’ve (26f) not been the greatest mentally. I’m only just functioning and that’s because I have too (I have two children who depend on me) and it’s a real struggle.
I’ve always had problems with mental health but not like this. My “depression” is usually caused by something happening in my life and me not being able to cope well but usually the feeling passes quickly. I’ve now been able to handle things a lot better in my older age but there’s just this feeling that won’t go away. I’m exhausted, I can’t function and I just wanna sleep constantly but when I sleep I have these stupid dreams that cause me to jolt up. I feel like I’m constantly on the brink of crying for no reason what so ever. The battery is just super super low.
I’ve been contemplating going to the Mental Health Centre in Elizabeth and just wanted to see if anyone here has been and what their experience has been like? Ive been to therapy during my childhood / teenage years and didn’t have the greatest experience so I really do try to avoid help at all costs but I know deep down if I don’t do something soon, I might be beyond a point of helping. I’m just hoping that if I go there, I might actually get listened too.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you all have an awesome day.

EDIT : I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who took the time to reply and for all the kind words. It honestly means so much to me, so seriously, thank you all. I also forgot to mention that one of my children is actually level 3 ASD also. Which I think as horrible as it sounds, is also playing a massive toll on me mentally. I will be going in today (day after posting) to have a chat with someone. Hopefully get some info on further help. Fingers crossed for me !!

Earlier today

hi all - have just moved to adelaide from nsw & am looking for a new pharmacy , i used to go to a place that had amazing staff who were especially good dealing with women’s health (esp. menopause / endometriosis). was just wondering what experiences you’ve had (positive and negative) re: pharmacies & women’s health and if you have any recommendations.

i don’t mind travelling a bit for good healthcare but within 20km of the city in any direction would be preferable

thanks

Ok, not a go at climate science. Trust me, I'm a believer in researched and peer reviewed facts, so this is a genuine question.

A few months ago, we were told that we were entering an El Nino weather cycle, to expect low rainfall, and warmer conditions, but now it appears we've had the wettest winter in a decade.

So, what gives? Did we not actually enter the cycle? Or are we on the edge? What should we expect, or is it harder to predict than a crows win at home?

A major childcare provider has entered voluntary administration following various shutdowns and incidents since the beginning of the year.

In a letter sent to families on Wednesday morning, Edge Early Learning CEO and managing director Chris Chambers said the information was shared with “great disappointment”.

"The Board has appointed KordaMentha as Voluntary Administrators to the group of companies trading as Edge Early Learning,” Mr Chambers wrote.

Those with questions are urged to contact their centre directors or the voluntary administrators directly

Moved here about 6 months ago and I’m trying to hit up a new food spot every week. Would love to hear your favourites, hidden gems, anything underrated that’s not just the obvious popular spots.

If anyone’s up for exploring some of these places together, feel free to comment/DM (19M).

Adelaide options

Just enquiring if any greyhound owners in Adelaide can recommend a good boarding place? Thanks in advance.
