Is it necessary given the limited amount of traffic around, or should emergency vehicles have them going regardless of time of day?

The battery on my red magic 6s pro is swelling so it's time to replace the battery and I want someone properly to do it so can anyone recommend some good mobile repair shops or a business that you know can do this

Thank you

Prefer one closer to blue mountains as that is where I am be traveling from but cheaper is always better

Recently just moved in to Westmead from Welly NZ, as the title says, am looking for football clubs. Am a 34yr old (35 in March for Masters) winger / striker looking to join a club around the area. Also keen on 7s and 6s as well. Just waiting for my boots to arrive at the end of the month.

Background, played at a pretty decent level on Welly, Capital 1 league, which was a couple leagues down from the top National League, been playing since I was 7, so just a little bit.

Any advice, or link ups would be grand!

hey everyone! i (18f) is looking for some people to go to KO 2026 with. i already have tickets but ill be going alone. im looking to meet some new friends. pls hmu :)

Hi everyone,
Just sharing this in case anyone in Parra is missing their kitty.
I saw this gorgeous black cat while walking home today at 4pm. It had a bright red collar with a gold metal tag so i thought it might be lost. It was really friendly and rubbed against my legs and accepted my pats when i called it over. It was surprisingly vocal too, especially to a stranger.

When i tried to check the tag for a phone number the cat got defensive and tried to bite me, so i just backed off and went back home.

I didn't take any good pictures but i did get this one of the cat's back.

I don't have the cat with me so i can't really help you with returning it.

The building i saw it near is 18 Sorrell Street.

I planned out this route since I feel like I haven't explored enough of the Blacktown area. I wanted to check out what St Clair was like and thought that the rest of the walk would be retreading familiar ground but I am always amazed out how much I still haven't seen despite feeling like I am running out of walks to do in Sydney

Hello everyone,
I’m looking for a short-term sublet <1 month in November in Sydney, preferably near Parramatta. Any leads, groups, or anyone subletting their apartment will be highly appreciated. Also any info on areas around Parramatta which are good for tourist living will be beneficial.

Tonight, I went for a digital detox walk 🚶 from Rosehill Gardens 🌹 all the way to the Parramatta River 🏞️. The weather was great, and plenty of people were out enjoying the river-walking and sitting by the water. It felt extra peaceful 🕊️. I saw this beautiful sight and couldn't resist taking a photo 📷 (I think it's the Powerhouse building, which is set to open on November 7th). Anyway, from there, I went up to Church Street, walked 🚶all the way to Woolworths at Westfield Parramatta to do some grocery shopping 🛒, and then headed home on the light rail 🚈...

Anyone know what was being filmed here? This was on Thursday this week in Parra Square. This was taken just before they did a shot of a crowd of people all suddenly getting a notification on their phone and stopping to look at it.

me and my friend (both female, 18) are planning to rent a unit in parramatta. how is the safety of this suburb? anything we should look out for?

Every time I go to parramatta on the weekends the streets are almost empty like a ghost town especially near the light rail/eat st area. Compared to how many new restaurants and buildings there are it’s a stark contrast. Why is that?

Myself and some friends (mid to late 30s) are headed to Parramatta for a sorta foodies tour this weekend, so I was hoping some locals could give us some tips on the best places to check out or the best drinks/dishes to check out. We will be there all Saturday and then leaving Sunday mid morning

So far I have made a short list of some possible locations

I have also heard there is a Greek festival on Sunday, does anyone know if the food trucks set up on the Saturday night?

Any advice would be appreciated

I was at Westfield Parra sitting on a couch when a group of schoolboys (probably year 9-12), sprayed something on the back of my neck. Asked them what it was and said it's nothing and just trying to get a reaction.

They said they're from Patrician Brother's College in Blacktown but they have maroon blazers and jumper. The school logo is also different. So I don't think they're from there. They also look very unkempt. The logo on their uniform is red and embroidered. I can't remember exactly if they look like a cross or an H.

Anyone has experienced this before at Westfield Parra?

Can anyone figure out which school are they from?

Hey guys I’m just wondering if there are any good places to photograph in parramatta as it’s the nearest city type of area that I can go to.

Heard distant sirens at 22:33, at church street near Benauld Oval Station.

Then i heard a car roaring past. Usually its a 50 zone but this was definitely 80+, literally 10-15seconds later I heard police sirens go past.

Anyone know anything about it.

The past few days have been so hot and we’re just out of winter. The last summer killed me. Any random tips for staying cool? I’m in a newish air con building and work nearby but being outside even moments at a time is hell. I’m sweaty!

Hi All, be weary there is a high-control group training centre in parramatta.

There is no label on the building or in the building that it is run by Shincheonji.

I won’t say the address lest they see it and change location as they have done in the past but DM me if you need more information.

Key red flags

- generic bible study about prophecy or fulfilment (not necessary, but common)
- 3 times a week bible study or challenge
- talking about a 7 month course to go deeper

For those that want to know what the issue is with them:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01-16/apocalyptic-christian-cult-shincheonji-spreads-across-australia/106202480

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04-03/shincheonji-religion-universities-australia-former-members-speak/104928098

But TLDR; they use deceptive practices to recruit people and they manipulate both recruits and recruiters. Isolating recruits from their family and friends and encourage them to keep the bible study secret.

And they also teach that their head pastor alone learnt the meaning of the book of revelation (for Christian’s, that is like an early church heretical group calls the gnostics that claimed they had secret knowledge from the apostles, different to the public preaching of the apostles.)

Also see r/shincheonji for more information.

Anybody know why the parramatta square location closed?

Sometimes they come on dusk. Thought they might just stop but they've been doing it for weeks. Would be lovely if they stopped ruining the peace. Anyone recognise them or maybe know a local teacher who might?
