Des françaises à Townsville ?

6 Upvotes

Hey girls, j’ai 22 ans, je vis à Townsville depuis un peu plus d’un an et je me rends compte qu’il serait peut-être temps que je me fasse des copines ici …
Si certaines sont dans le coin et partantes pour aller boire un verre, se balader, faire du sport, aller à la plage ou juste prévoir des petits plans entre filles, mes messages sont ouverts 🥰

Recommendations Getting rid of old car

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone. Just wanted to ask for advice on what to do with an old Holden Barina 2009. It still runs, the body is intact, but it had a coolant issue. We want to get rid of it, initially thought of selling it but there maybe other options we are not aware of. Would appreciate any advice or recos! Thanks so much.

Help a gal out. Whats the best way to get here from deeragun this afternoon? Taxi? Drive closer and park then taxi to stadium? 4x adults and 4 x kids if that counts for anything. Are there any shuttles setup? Help!

Local florist or gift hamper recommendations that deliver north of Townsville?

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m in Melbourne, but I have a friend who lives just north of Townsville who I’d love to send a nice gift to.

Does anyone have any recommendations for local Townsville florists or gift hamper businesses that deliver a bit further north?

I’d love to support a local business if possible, rather than a big national chain, so any pointers or favourite local spots would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks so much in advance! 😊

We’re 26&25, sporty and enjoy everything outdoors. We don’t really drink but we do enjoy eating out etc

Good, safe and reasonably affordable areas to live in Townsville?

17 Upvotes

I'm moving to Townsville for work at AIMS and currently trying to figure out where to live. I'll be commuting out to AIMS.

Mainly looking for somewhere that's reasonably safe, not ridiculously expensive, and still close enough to shops/cafes and things to do. I'm also a migrant, so would be good to know if there are any areas you'd particularly recommend (or avoid) from that perspective too.

So far, from what I've read and what people have suggested, I've got:

  • North Ward
  • Castle Hill / around Castle Hill (I know this one's pretty expensive)
  • West End
  • Belgian Gardens
  • Townsville City
  • Mundingburra
  • Douglas
  • Aitkenvale

Not sure how accurate this list is though 😅

Any other suburbs I should be looking at? And out of these, which ones would you personally consider good value while still being a nice/safe place to live?

Would also appreciate any specific pockets/streets to avoid, since I've heard it can vary quite a bit even within the same suburb.

Universal remote

3 Upvotes

Hey legends!

My elderly neighbours tv has broken, I’ve given him one of mine but I can’t seem to find the remote, and the one button you can use cans seem to scroll down to select channel scan.

I haven’t seen one for ever, but do they still make / sell universal remotes? And has anyone set one up? Im not overly tech savvy Or if someone had one they would sell would be really handy!

Thanks Townsville!

Property prices at Townsville

Just checking what is the condition of property prices at Townsville. Is it comes down as everywhere else or just stagnant?

To those that claim salties do not go up river from Aplins Weir into Ross River. Yeah nah. They can and they do. Yes, I know this is a freshie, but a croc is a croc. The freshies I've seen up near Riverway are not small either. 😫

EDIT

Yes I know it's NOT Townsville. I posted this as an example of how easily a croc can travel and move upstream in rivers. My point was there are fresh water and salt water crocs in the Ross River. Don't be complacent!

New to Town(sville) EV Friendliness?

11 Upvotes

Hello all. My family and I are moving to the area near the end of the year. We are curious how "EV friendly" Townsville actually is. We will need to get a car of some sort and the novated lease on an EV seems tempting. We are coming from overseas, and novated leases are not a thing back home. Is this a good option, a terrible idea, or somewhere in-between? Thanks in advance!

Hi all

Looking for a place to buy some cheaper/budget friendly male sunnies. Have tried anaconda and bcf. Anywhere else? I either break them of loose them so another 300 dollar pair is off the table.

Looking for like a 40 dollar pair? Recommendation onto a shop with a decent range?
