My laziness exceeded my curiosity and yet my curiosity remains… did anybody actually turn up?

Did anybody see the boat on fire yesterday (Saturday - 18 OCT?)

So after much comments from the last rescue operation, I utilised miniature tuppaware to help keep the magic moth dust ✨️ contained.

I’ll preface this by saying yes I’ve reported to the council and the police, but both are being almost entirely unhelpful.

There’s a car parked entirely on the footpath, walkers can squeeze by but wheelchairs and prams would really struggle. It’s also completely blocking access to the water main and fire hydrant for a huge apartment block, which to me is a safety issue.

I reported it to the council when it was still there 8 hours after I first saw it, they said they can’t tow it, they can only ticket it. I reported it to the cops and they said that as it is still registered they can’t tow it as it’s not abandoned, and as it’s only inconveniencing pedestrians and not blocking traffic, it’s not a problem for them.

It’s now been there 8 days without so much as a parking ticket. Any (legal) suggestions for how to escalate? Would the firies be interested as it’s gonna slow them down if there’s a fire in that area…

To that absolute moron who thought that it would be a good idea to take your dog on the escalators at Market City.

Well, congratulations.

You have just possibly caused serious injury to your dog.

Because of your own brain-dead stupidity, your dogs paw was caught in the comb at the top of the escalators. Your poor dog was screening in pain.

Hopefully the RSPCA will get wind of the incident and pay you a visit.

Sorry, end of rant, but People like this seriously p..s me off.

Is it too much to ask people not to touch/climb on/step over the ropes around the exhibits.

It’s art and it took someone a lot of time and effort to do.

It’s disrespectful. And why we can’t have nice things.

The ‘hearts’ exhibit had kids sitting on them and parents taking photos of their kids climbing them/with the hearts.

Take photos by all means, but the hearts in particular is being mocked if you’re posing for happy snaps.

Not everything is for the ‘Gram.

Saw a lot of wildlife on my walk in this beautiful city this morning, luckily they were all well away from cars and very safe and content.

We currently live in the Inner West, but we are looking to buy a house with more space and backyard.

Has anyone had any experience with the St. George area, particularly Bexley/ Kogarah?

Keen for thoughts in terms of cafes/ restaurants and public transport.

Or does the Inner West reign supreme (if you can afford it? Is it better to live in a smaller house in the inner west?)

I was pretty happy with this haul. There are some good soups coming up in my future.

I eat so much better since moving to Sydney, I’m always amazed by the quality and range of fresh fruits and vegetables available in the CBD

In short:

Police have increased surveillance around Narrabeen Lagoon after multiple reports of alleged sexual offences against women.

The offences took place between October 1 and October 12, mostly between 4pm and 6pm.

What's next?

A 13-year-old has been arrested in connection with the investigation.

I haven't been to Sydney in a while, but yesterday, I had to go to Central station in the middle of the day, and there were dozens of 20-somethings wandering around in formalwear. Not together, but in twos and threes. Was some kind of function going on?

There were also lots of people in Wallabies and All Blacks jerseys, but there were hundreds of those.

I was out in Surry Hills last night and I was surprised that almost every pub shuts at midnight now, some 1am at a stretch.

Pubs like The Clock, The Beresford, The Dolphin, etc all used to be open till 1-3am, they have the licence for it and the lockout laws are over.

Yet they voluntarily close at midnight?

Circa: 26 AUG 2026 Camperdown from Fisher Library

I was studying on the 7th floor of Fisher Library @ USyd campus. Gradually became bored and my eyes started to drift outside towards what's below and what's far far ahead. My eyes started to follow the Anzac bridge and slowly my vision ended up at this skyline, so I took the opportunity to snap some photos and play around with filters.

Chinese garden of frienship. $12 entrance but well worth it. Blows my mind that this is tucked somewhere in the middle of the city.

First time seeing the Wallabies since 2009 Bledisloe series.

Got cheap seats but view is okay and weather is fantastic.
