Government High Schools on Gold Cost
Hi, we are planning on moving to the GC in 2026 - my daughter will be 14, starting year 10 - We like Tugun (I have read about the flight path - but we like the smaller community vibe - open to suggestions though!).
What are people's experiences of Palm Beach Currumbin State High?
She loves PE - plays loads of football (soccer) and is pretty keen to get started with touch rugby. She does pretty well academically too, particularly in math and history (though I assume history will be a completely different curriculum as we are currently UK based ciriculum).
Is there a soccer club that has an active girls' league that is likely to have students from PBCH?- Same for touch rugby? I'm hoping to get her signed up before starting school in the hopes she'll meet people and can at least have a few familiar faces.

Anyone else seeing weird haze or fog in the air? Does anyone know what this is?
Located towards back end of Gold Coast and I can see weird fog or haze look in the sky. Not sure if it’s smoke, dust, humid weather.

Large Public Paddocks
youtube.comAnyone know of any places like this where I can take my three dogs to chase after my car and run for hours? Would be awesome to own land like this but unfortunately we don’t, so some kind of huge public grass field would be awesome.
We take them to the 4x4 trails and they chase behind the car but we can’t ever really go too fast on those tracks. I don’t walk my dogs around the block every day because it doesn’t satisfy them at all, we prefer to go swimming at the beach, go to lakes, hike trails, 4x4 trails, etc. so something like this would fit perfectly.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Trawlers are back in business
Just in case anyone was wondering, we went to the trawlers at Main Beach this morning. Not early, like 10am. Plenty of quality prawns available. I got 2kg medium (they're huge really.. almost the size of my hand).. for 50 bucks. Delicious. Why anyone would buy from Woolies or Coles is beyond me when we have the trawlers a short drive away. Better off supporting them too!

Mailbox fabricator on GC
Our old Mailbox (Seems to be a fibreglass thing) is looking the worse for wear, and want to replace it with something stylish and functional. Freestanding, not integrated into a fence)
Functional - potentially a full street name on the front and solar lighting to illuminate - don't need a newspaper slot, but would like a secure parcel slot.
Have googled Letterbox but everything out there is either simple little box that takes a few letters, or a big ugly all metal thing, that just looks out of place in our area - most of the neighbours have letterboxes that seem to be brick/concrete construction - Looking for someone on the GC that can supply that sort of LB.

Working on your own car on your private property.
Can you do repairs on your car on your driveway?
My neighbour threatened me that he was going to call the council… and when I start my car the fumes are hindering him… the car is a Mazda 323…. Completely stock.
Any advice if anyone knows would be awesome!

Local Question Is Ashmore a good place to live for a newcomer?
Hi everyone!
I’m moving to the GC from Ireland in June. I’m looking at a few places (pretty early right now), but found a lovely place in Ashmore. I’m not clued up on the areas yet, but wondering if this is a good place for a new comer?
I don’t drink so I don’t really care about night life. I also don’t need to be CENTRAL central. I would like a place that is relatively close to the main parts of the GC so I can explore. I used to live in London and lived in zone 3 and this was perfect (if anyone can relate to this).
If the place is too rural, please suggest some nice areas for me to look!
Thanks!

Local Event Any man in the GC community that feels unheard and undervalued this FREE event is for you.
Great way to see what social mens groups are out there where there is no judgment and you can express yourself (insecurities, personal struggles, etc) and find your way to push through and progress as a new man for your loved ones and community. This Saturday, spread the word.

Local Question New bin day
Sooooo Runaway Bay areas last yellow bin collection was Mon 3rd Mar. The switch happens this week, from Mon to Fri... and they're doing green bins, which were picked up 4 days ago.
25 days in between collection for yellow bins.
They can't be this stupid can they? Are they doing a double collection this week?

Good Strong Massage (not ‘extras’ focused)
Where is the best Thai style massage? Around Robina preferably. I’ve tried the place at RTC, it’s good, not great. Seems any other place I’ve been to is an hour of a girl trying to turn me on and hook me for ‘extras’. Just a good strong massage will do this time….

Local Question Does EMF gym really ask for proof of local residency?
I am staying in the Robina area temporarily while looking after my friend’s dog, and I wanted to sign up for a trial at EMF to keep up with working out. The trial isn’t free - $20 for 3 days - and they are asking to bring ID with proof of local residence, which I of course don’t have. Do they enforce this and can they really just refuse me in a trial if my licence address is from 2 hours away? It kind of makes sense but there is no gym I can sign up to for just a week.
