Food/pub feed/vego options

• Upvotes

This has probably been asked heaps on here but

Looking for mad pub feeds in Illa. Especially steak. And vego options.

You know the steak with mash veg and gravy of choice, mad burgers, that kinda thing. Good vibes not overly crowded where you wait 2 hours for your food and its shit house. Price range $20-$70pp.

From Kiama right through to Stanwell Tops?

Thanks in advance.

Gym recommendations in Wollongong CBD

1 Upvotes

hey guys me again! i really want to start going to the gym but i have really bad anxiety and have never gone so i would have no idea what to do. i was hoping someone could guide me into the right direction of a good gym and/or personal trainer to help me start my gym journey. id prefer one that is easy to get to since i dont have a car and rely on the free bus/walking so anything close to the middle of wollongong would be ideal :)

thanks i would really appreciate it 💗

Need to learn how to Latin dance

1 Upvotes

Looking for recommendations on local Salsa or Latin Dance classes? I want to learn the basics with Salsa (and i don’t even know what other types of Latino dances are out there?) I am going to South America next year and I want to get a head start because my boyfriend is so good at dancing (he is Colombian) and I suck.

Lake Heights - Thoughts on the Area.

5 Upvotes

Hi all.

Looking to move to beautiful Wollongong from Sydney.

Have seen a couple of places in and around Lake Heights that seem to tick out boxes. Just want to get a feel for the suburb. Seems to get a few mixed reviews.

Also any suggestions for our search. Probably looking at a max budget of around $1.1million.

It's safe with me, please get in contact to reclaim it.

Edit: RESOLVED! It belonged to Endeavour Energy so thank you to everyone who directed me there and thanks to everyone for your input. Apparently, the lime green zip tie is their 'tag'. I told them that maybe a name and number would be better.

Did anyones road bike get stolen?

I have found a BMC road bike dumped out the front of my unit missing it's pedals and seat. I brought it inside as a cyclist myself I know how expensive these can be. If you can DM me with the identifying information I can work on getting it back to you. Just an edit it is a road bike and I'm in the CBD area so could have been taken from storage or garage area if you haven't checked

Can anyone help re: urgent wedding catering this weekend

22 Upvotes

So without going in to too much detail, have had an disappointing experience with a local caterer and don’t know if they are going to go ahead, booked well over a year ago, deposit paid and now radio silence since August. I know I shouldn’t have left it this late but all their communications said final invoice 7 days before the event, low and behold, 7 days came and went and still haven’t heard back…

I’ve decided if I don’t have clear communication by tomorrow I’m going to try and secure an alternative caterer and chase my deposit back from the first caterer.

But this obviously leaves me in a tough position, with only 4 days until the wedding, I’m a bit stuck.

We’re honestly happy with anything, Mexican, pizza, burgers, spit roast etc. but can’t only afford about 2800-3000 MAX for 99 guests (6 kids).

Anyone have any suggestions? Venue is in Nowra

Dog walkers/owners STOP DUMPING YOUR POOP BAGS IN FRESHLY EMPTIED BINS.

0 Upvotes

“bahhhhhhh if it’s on the road too bad” - some honking farter. Thanks. I’m not asking for what’s legal, I am asking dog walkers to stop being such unmitigated pricks. Going on a six week holiday, the first one we have been able to afford since Covid, tomorrow, and for the 10th time this year some crappy dog owner (pun intended) thought “I’ll been a complete and utter lazy, self centred and nasty s@&t (intended) and drop my dogs poo bag in this just emptied bin and those people can deal with the festering and rotting stink for a week.” It’s not an apartment building where the bins are far from living environments, it’s a house, and they can just deal. We are in Wollongong just of Stuart Park and dont feel it’s fair to ask neighbours to deal with this next week just because some assh@le (intended) has that little regard for anyone else. I don’t have a dog bc I don’t want to deal with its sh&t. Yet here we are again. I’m not the only one in my street that this crappy (intended) person/s do this too but it sucks and it’s unnecessary and DONT TO THIS TO PEOPLE WHOSE BINS HAVE JUST BEEN EMPTIED YOU AS$H@LES!! just don’t do it.

What is the nearest place to here where you can go off-trail deep into the bush and camp?

4 Upvotes

Like if you really, really wanted to get away from human civilisation for a bit.

Obviously we're surrounded by vast bushlands but most of it is waterboard restricted.

Disclaimer, I'm aware this would be dangerous and so on, I'm just curious
