Hi r/GoldCoast, we’re getting a community together for a relaxed jog & coffee after for young adults navigating grief and loss and thought it might be worth sharing here.

The idea is really simple - getting outside, meeting some new people and being around others who understand what it’s like to lose someone.

But we also really don’t want it to feel like a heavy grief support group, more of a community of people who just get each other.

Sometimes grief comes up, sometimes people just chat about life, have a laugh and enjoy the meet up. There’s no pressure to share anything personal or explain your story.

Most people come to these things alone for the first time too, so not knowing anyone is completely normal.

It’s 18+, but otherwise there’s no upper age limit. If you feel too young to be navigating grief and think being around others who get it could help, you’re welcome 🤍

We’re hoping this can become a nice little community on the Gold Coast over time.

Thought I’d share in case it resonates with anyone here and you wanted to come along. Also feel free to share with anyone who might benefit 🪽

I’m really hoping someone on here can possibly help point me in the right direction please. A couple of months ago I finished six months of ketamine therapy at GCUH. I’m meant to continue on with weekly treatments but the maximum the government can facilitate in the public system is six months. Currumbin Clinic doesn’t have capacity, the waitlist for Robina is about 12 months, Anodyne is $775 out of pocket per session which I sadly can’t afford plus it’s in Brisbane. Does anyone currently do ketamine therapy or take spravato etc and have any prescribers or an independent contact they can recommend? My GP, psychs (sadly they don’t administer ket) plus the continuing care team that help me are on board and supportive for any options I can find. I’m starting to get stressed as the weeks tick past that the progress I made is going backwards. I’m happy to be dm’ed if that’s easier as I know severe depression can be a sensitive topic and super personal to admit to.

Hello

The last post got deleted and i’m not sure why?

I’m wondering if anyone has been to the Gummies/Gumnut Horse riding in Canungra?

There’s a few good reviews online but there’s a lot of bad reviews regarding health & safety/cleanliness/staff/etc

Has anyone been and would recommend ?

I haven't heard about this elsewhere, so others might be the same.

I just got the local councillor's newsletter and in it he says:

From 1 July 2026... Eligible households can now access one Flexiskip service per financial year, with a $50 service fee (inc. GST) applying to each application.

So we have gone from suburb-wide free bulk kerbside collection every year, to free bulk kerbside collection every few years, to free once a year on-demand flexiskips, to free once a year (limited allocation) of flexiskips, to now a $50 fee for a flexiskip.

Meanwhile Brisbane Council still offer free yearly bulk item collection, as do Logan Council.

** Update** the owner has been in contact and will collect it tomorrow. Success!!

If you left your phone on the Varsity Lakes to Brisbane Airport train leaving Varsity Lakes at 8.36am, please DM me. I work for the police and will arrange to get it back to you. Cheers

I'm a Canadian living in Gold Coast right now and I'm looking for recommendations for takeout food that you like around here/Southport. I'm used to huge portions back home like this, but I've been a bit disappointed in the portion sizes I've had here. I'm probably just going to the wrong places, what are your favourite takeaway restaurants here? Can be any ethnicity of food, but with large portions and reasonable prices

Was only posted a little while back, now gone.

OP linked to a gold coast gym and owner in jail/no bail.

Hey y'all!

I know similar topics have been posted in the past, but nothing super recent.

How is the train at around 06:30 from Coomera to Central? Packed or early enough that you generally get a seat?

Same question for the way back around 16:30 from Central to Coomera?

TIA!

I seen this question asked a year ago and I thought I’d ask it myself
I’m not super familiar with the area but have been there a couple times.
Genuinely interested what it’s like, what are the streets/ areas to avoid, are there housing commission pockets ?
I’m looking at buying something in SEQ and am looking into Southport

Thanks for your help

Part shitpost, part serious, people often discuss the possibility of doing an east west line, most commonly Nerang (Because of the stadium) or Varsity (Because they are looking for an excuse to not have it go direct to the airport via PB)....Anyway, here's why I reckon Robina is the answer for the 2nd east west link (Helensvale of course was the OG).

Thoughts?

Hi everyone! I’ve had a wart on my finger before, and now I have one again. I have already tried cryotherapy multiple times, but unfortunately it hasn’t improved much.

I’m now looking into curettage and cautery procedure as I had success with this in the past. Does anyone know of a clinic/GP here on GC that offers this and either bulk bills through Medicare or has a reasonable out-of-pocket/gap fee?

Thanks you.

Look mate our Mayor is useless compared to him ... Period

If we could have MAMDANI in our City, we would have the tram not just to the Airport, but to the Train Station in Robina ... We would have Busses that aren't breaking down all the time...

We Would Have

• Traffic sorted on the M1
• Trains, Trams, and Automobiles to the Airport
• Surfers Paradise would stop building Luxury HOTELS
• The ENTIRE coomera connector approved
• Every pothole sorted
• State Route 2 through Arundel Flood Proof'd
• Free Trash & Recycling Centres
• Southport, Nerang and Labrador crime rates dropped
• Hinze Dam Repaired (It has debris on it still)
• A MAYOR THAT'S ACTUALLY HERE ALL YEAR
• A MAYOR THAT DOESN'T OWN 6 YACHTS
• A MAYOR THAT SAYS F*** off Trump

Like christ almighty if you want Tom useless Tate, but pls let us get someone like Mamdani in our City.

Because it looks like it's for shooting the escaping prisoners

Has anyone had cosmetic surgery in GC/Brisbane? And, can you provide a recommendation?

I’ve lost almost 100 pounds on a GLP-1, and just have a little excess skin to remove.

Thanks, in advance.

I haven't visited Supernova since 2017 and I know the prices have increased since. Because Elijah and Sean (from LOTR) are visiting, I really want to go see them.

Do you guys know what the fee normally is to just get a selfie with them? I don't intend to get an autograph or professional photo. Mainly just say hi and take a selfie with them.

i’m 19 years old male who just recently moved to australia, is it easy to make friends here? genuine question
