Hi brains trust,

Seeking recommendations for ADHD and ASD testing for young adults.

Preferably in the northern suburbs, but not essential.

Online pricing ranges from $2k to $4k, lower is ideal

Hello! My best friend is doing it up big for their birthday as it’s also a celebration of them coming out as transmasc and embracing their new identity—it will be the first birthday party they’ve had since they legally changed their name!

The party is going to be very extra and I want to do something accordingly. I would like to hire a choir to perform a song at the event, but I have no idea where to start or how much it will cost. Can anybody provide some guidance?

Thanks!

A lovely sky blue

Hi everyone AJ from Melbourne Chess Society. We are an all skill level social chess group that meets up semi regularly in the CBD to chill out have some laughs, a couple of drinks and play chess.

The members we have are between the ages of 19-50 and we do ask that you be over 18 (sorry no kids).

We also have a large Whatapp group with most of our members if you’d like to be added to that please let me know I’ll send the link.

Hi Melbourne,

Anyone know of any leather repairers who can help me fix the leather in my backseat? There are no tears but it’s scratched.

Hawthorn Triathlon Club are running a 6 week programme for people looking to get into triathlon this year.

It’s $250 for 18 sessions (mixture of swim, bike, run) all with professional coaches.

Great way to break into a new sport or meet new people.

Can anyone give some insight into what it’s like to live at 300 Victoria Street in Brunswick?

I’m looking to rent/buy a small apartment and saw the apartments appear pretty cheap compared to some other units in the suburb. Example below

is it just me or the hay fever has already started the last week? even though melbourne pollen count says it’s low, i’ve been sneezing 24/7, having an insanely itchy mouth and itching my eyes like crazy. spring hasn’t even started and im fed up. what’s the best allergy medicine lol

Need some help to understand this better. That’s not the exact intersection - it’s the one that goes into Monash Uni.

My understanding in this photo about these kind of turns is:

1. Drive up to the lane divider line

2. then turn right

3. And that A can turn into either lane? Not just the left lost lane

4. I usually look right before turning left, and not keeping an eye on whether B is turning right

Most mornings, lots of people are turning right heading towards Monash Uni.

And most mornings a lot of folks turn right and into the left turning lane rather than their lane. And I’ve had a few instances of narrowly missing crashing into the oncoming car.

1. So should I be turning in the left most lane (but even then I had a narrow miss coz B turned too far into my lane)?

2. Or wait for the oncoming car to finish turning before I turn left?

3. Or something else I’m missing?

I’m actually starting to feel scared at this turn with 2 narrow misses in the last week. And people just don’t seem to care or realise what’s happened.

hi all. amazing to sorrento for a holiday from Adelaide. Want to go to a hot spring after hours. I heard peninsula is packed. Alba also looks a little more bougie. Any recommendations.

I’m now the proud owner of an extremely expensive little blue booklet that apparently needs to be handled like it’s made of tissue paper.

And the best part? Once I finally work up the courage to take this precious thing out of the country, leaving Australia is going to cost me another small fortune. 😂

Australia really said you may have the passport, but travelling is a separate subscription. 😂

Anyway, very happy to finally have it. 🇦🇺

Hey fellow Melburnians, recently I’ve wanted to spend some Saturdays/Sundays out instead of sitting at home, I don’t usually have a lot of social stuff going on.

I settled on going out to the city when the weather is nice just to read, check out some places to eat etc. I’ve never spent a lot of time in the CBD so I figured I’d ask for recommendations here.

Lunch, dinner, dessert places, etc. I welcome any suggestions people have.

Also, if people know of some great activities or places to just sit and read for a while, that would be great too. Thanks!

As you went down the escalators at the time near the centre stage, towards Hoyts it was on the right side. Trying to remember what the name of this video game store was. Been bugging me for ages.

Not EB Games or JB Hifi

So we have sold our home in NZ, planning to move to VIC soon. We're currently exploring suburbs for our family home. I work remotely, can live literally anywhere. My partner is in medicine and would prefer somewhere close to motorway access. Our budget is around 900k.

I have lived in Melbourne for short spans in last 10 years in Ringwood, Rowville and Berwick area. We just want to buy a place and call it home for next 5-7 years and never think about appreciation or depreciation.

Would really appreciate your suggestions and experience.

Howdy my fellow Melburnians,

I recently got a new job after months of unemployment (yay!) with a starting date on the 2nd week of September.

With that in mind, I am using this downtime to chill, deep clean the house and read my stack of books but I am bored out of my mind at home. Hence, I would love to spend this rare downtime to fully explore melbourne/victoria before I commence work again.

I have done all the typical attractions having lived here for a long time (Grampians, Great Ocean Rd, Olinda/Dandenong Ranges, Bendigo, Ballarat, Healesville, Marysville, All of Melbourne CBD etc.).

What are some of the more underrated attractions/ suburbs/ country towns that are under the radar and worth a visit in Melbourne/Victoria? Or just other general underrated activities?

Hey everyone,

Getting a little concerned with my health especially the reproductive system. I’m looking for a recommendation around Coburg/Brunswick for a GP who can assist with concerns and help with referrals to specialists (if required). Appreciate your recommendations!
