The restaurant scene on the Forster side has gotten much better in the last few years. Tuncurry not so much.
The brewery is a good afternoon out. They get food trucks in for dinner on Saturdays from memory.

Big buzz
Hire a boat and cruise the river, you can pack a picnic lunch and pull up on a sandbank. It’s gorgeous.
Would also recommend that when driving there or back, taking the Lakes Way (just off the highway) and stopping at Blueys Beach or Seal Rocks. Both have beautiful beaches and are about a 20 min drive south of Forster.
Forster is beautiful.. enjoy!
Beach Street Seafood, on Beach st (obviously) at the intersection of Wharf st. They can get very busy at times.
Many times you can see dolphins from the breakwalls, there's a local pod that lives in the lake, when I went on the cruise many years ago they guaranteed that you will see dolphins.
Why do you saw this?. You wouldn't recommend Forster?
Cheers mate. Couldn’t remember the name but the seafood was great.
That time of year you’ll see them a fair bit under the bridge. Sharks too, at sunrise/sunset.
I know the place well, my mother lives in Tuncurry and I visit her regularly, the fish and chips there are a regular meal
Lucky bugger. Easily some of the best fish and chips I’ve had.
Shit like that is what happens when a state's ran by right wingers.
my suitcase size and it's 62 inch (766030cm) ..the ticket says must be 60cm high x 70cm long x 50cm. How strict are they? Is there someone in front of the gate check everyone suitcase? Wil they reject me if i have these two that don't match the requirements?
What if I go 30min earlier, can I hop on train without passing through any train conductor
Is this on the train, or airline?
If it's on the train it's not going to matter unless it's significantly over and/or super heavy.
If it's an airline, it's going to depend on airline, ticket, etc.
edited to add: Your suitcase, by volume, is quite a bit under the limits, btw. It's just one dimension that's out by 6CM.
They're limiting you to 0.21 cubic meters (210L), your luggage is 0.13 cubic meters (136L)
Hi,
I'm a 18 year old (M) who lives in Adelaide, and will be working in Singleton within the next few weeks. however, during that period I have an International Flight out of Sydney. Rental Cars aren't available as I'm only 18, no Uber or Taxicab will take me there, and as far as I know trains don't accept luggage. I was wondering if any of you could provide some input on how to get myself and my luggage all the way to the Airport.
Thank you all so much.
I don't understand what you mean by trains don't accept luggage. I have caught trains from the hunter valley to Sydney to catch a flight, I just carried my bags on the train, no one stopped me
Trains do accept luggage, there's just not a designated spot for luggage.
I'm currently sitting on a train on the Airport Line, and there is luggage everywhere. There aren't any luggage porters or trolleys, but if you can carry it, you can bring it on the train. People bring much weirder shit than luggage on the trains all the time. I've seen someone transporting a motorbike.
I travel from Newcastle to the international airport and back several times a year. Definitely no problem with taking luggage at all.
Check out the transportnsw.info website or the TripView app for options on how to get from Singleton station to the international airport. It will tell you which stations to change at:
Apart from having to change station twice (ie Singleton to somewhere in Newcastle, then to Central, then to the airport) it’s easy and pretty effortless.
Just catch the regular train. Not the XPT or explorer. Make sure you can get your suitcase on and off. I see travellers all the time do it
I'm currently on the train carrying luggage during peak hour and no one cares hahahaha
Try airtasker if your not happy with a train
I heard it from a friend that moved there from Adel, but I've since done some more research, and I now know that carrying luggage 20kg's and under is no problem. But thank you for your input .
>e, there's just not a designated spot for luggage.
I guess I'll just have to hold it awkwardly and not make eye contact with anyone on the train haha
Trains just fine mate.
Myself, and a bunch of other weary international travelers, today boarded a SYD-Newcastle train. 23kg suitcases everywhere.
Weight isn’t the problem for a train.
If you can get it on and off, and it isn’t blocking thoroughfares, you can take what you want.
Mate...trains pull tons easy, your 50 kg suitcase isn't going to be an issue unless you can't carry it.

Book a seat for your luggage if it's too big hehe
Hi dad, I'm weirdo.
I have an address but not a phone number for a property in Mudgee that I visited as a child. I'd like to apply to the owner to take my kids on a bushwalk there. Is there a known protocol for contacting property owners. I don't want to annoy them but there's some rock formations that I'd like my kids to see. With thanks.
If there is a house on the property you can send a letter to them explaining and provide your phone number so they can get in contact with you if they are willing.
Post what you have here + the street on the community FB page, someone will know the owner and tag them and hook you up.
If you're not super sus I can't see why they wouldn't love to have you around
Err, you could always write a letter.
Thank you. I didn't think of old technology! Bless you.
Thanks so much. That's a great idea. I'm hoping that I can share a part of my childhood with my kids.
I have recently applied for a call taking job and was wondering what the recruitment process is like, how long it takes, what the work culture is like and the shift times are.
Messaged you
All retrograde steps with nothing for the future. Cars, cars, cars everywhere.
Fewer clickbait articles from The Guardian, thanks.
Aimed at chest which is vital area.
Its strange that one penetrated her body, but they're very heavy which makes up for their very low velocity so maybe that's why despite it barely happening from what I know.
Police defending themselves by saying the manufacturer doesn’t provide a safe range to use them at. She was also tasered. $100 says some dog cop piece of shit fired it at her point blank
300 feet per second isn't a low velocity (it is compared to a lethal round, you still would not want it to hit you, a comparison is an arrow from a bow for a lethal hit is around 300 feet per second) and if it was within 3m it was always going to result in trauma. She probably was skinny and small as well.
Effective range is 9m to 27m. The manufacturer would never specify a safe range to use them at as they are a "less than lethal" round, as in death can sometimes occur. Given this woman would have probably been skinny and small, and the round would have been dispatched in closed quarters when the taser was ineffective, they should have aimed for the top half of her legs not her chest. If she is wielding an axe and coming at police officers with mental health issues chances are she was going for a suicide by cop. It is a tragedy. My guess is that the round was dispatched within 3m or less of her so it was always going to cause trauma.
> $100 says some dog cop piece of shit fired it at her point blank
and what do you think the outcome would have been if they'd used real bullets?
Their logic: hurr durr all cops are dog cunts and deserve to be attacked
When they shoot a woman who has already been tased and is posing a threat to nobody else with a beanbag round from a shotgun close enough to PENETRATE HER CHEST CAVITY AND DAMAGE HER HEART, they are a dog cop piece of shit.
How can you defend that action in any capacity?
> ... woman who has already been tasked and is posing a threat to nobody else
Oh wow, I must have missed the part where you were at the scene and have a first hand account
And please show me exactly _where_ in my comment I was defending that action?
take the boot out of your mouth and stick it up your ass cuck
What a lovely human you must be :) I hope the long weekend you have is better than your attitude

Hey guys
Not sure if this is the right place to ask but I'll have a crack. I've lost my white card ( construction card ), the actual physical card & I didn't have it in my saved in my service NSW app in the wallet part. Have since uploaded it to my app, so I'm assuming that it's still valid? If it was invalid would it not let me upload it? There's no expiration date on the license for me to check. Just asking because I needed to send it away for a job application. Cheers

Includes replacement for lost cards
Beauty too easy...nah I worded that wrong, they just need to see I actually have it as i had pit it down on my resume
Yer I've found that part & ordered a new card, thanks. Was more just a question if anyone knows if it would still be valid...
The app completely depends on site rules.
Some want to see that you have one, the app will normally satisfy that,
Other sites (looking at you hammer tech) will want the physical card, no exceptions.
When I got my white card they told me it never expired,
Do yourself a favour. Go to Glenworth Valley. So beautiful. Affordable and heaps of recreation activities . About 20 mins out of Northern Sydney. Close to Gosford. This place is peaceful, and just gorgeous. I most certainly will be going back.
Looks a lot nice than when Lost Paradise is there, so beautiful!
I'm getting married there next may! It's beautiful there
Is that another one of those mass rubbish production events. I think there was a Jazz(?) festival btween Christmas to over New Year somewhere near there in the past. Made the news for the massive amount of rubbish left behind.
We saw 2 weddings while there. I know exactly where you are going. The most beautiful wedding spot I’ve ever seen. Great choice. And congratulations x
Look, we've been conditioned to expect packaging accompanies everything we purchase so it's not unusual for people to generate rubbish just about everywhere they go. I'm not saying it is acceptable to leave places like this in anything less than the picture perfect state seen in these images. We should be able to enjoy natural areas and more often it helps to prevent the loss of them when more people are aware of what is at stake. Organisers of large scale events have to be held accountable for the impact of the events they hold by including a detailed plan for capturing any waste generated by the event. Provision of sufficent rubbish and recyclable collection points during the course of an event and employment of clean up teams post event should be heavily monitored with any result deemed less than 100% incurring fines or fees scaled with the cost of clean up/rehabilitation of the area.
I often wonder what percentage of the budget for such events is allocated for marketing and advertising compared to that for waste and environmental impact.
Thank you!
They have to be accountable. I went to a festival in 1999 to see off spring. And they had a clean up crew. When I was there yesterday 24 year later you have to follow rules or they will fine you and take money from your credit card. They have recycling and rubbish there. It’s all in their term and conditions. I didn’t see any rubbish. I didn’t see any entitled people not picking up after themselves. I’m old but we don’t litter as much as other countries. We have special days where we educate and bring awareness to littering. I can honestly say I have never littered in my life because of the awareness. And Australia is beautiful everywhere. Why would you want to spoil it or disrespect that. I think this thinking is part of our culture. I have no problem telling a AH to pick up there cigarette butt or anything they may have dropped. Done it before and will most likely do it again.
Rego and ctp expired on 26 august. We renewed our ctp thinking that was all we had to do and only found out today our rego is still expired (we aren’t from here and I understand it’s very stupid but new country and different rules to get used to, sorry). Anyway, on the letter it says we have 3 months to renew, so does that mean for 3 months following august 26th we can still drive? Thanks for any help.
No. You cannot drive it until you renew. They are telling you that you have three months to renew that registration. After three months, you have to get a blue inspection slip, get new registration and number plates
No. It means you have 3 months to get a pink slip (eSafety check) and re-register the vehicle. After the 3 months, the plates must be handed back to Service NSW and the car will require a blue slip (Unregistered Vehicle Inspection) and you would need to go through the process of registering an unregistered car meaning more $$ and new plates.
If you get pulled over right now your up for ~$1000 in fines. As your CTP usually isn't valid without registration
If you don’t need a rego check ( car under 5 years old) just go on line and register. Servicensw
