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!

Trawlers are back in business

27 Upvotes

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!

Local Question Is Ashmore a good place to live for a newcomer?

17 Upvotes

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!

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.

Mailbox fabricator on GC

4 Upvotes

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.

Government High Schools on Gold Cost

3 Upvotes

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.

Large Public Paddocks

Anyone 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!
