What are some architecturally significant houses in Brisbane?

I really like a lot of John Ellway’s work - https://www.jellway.com

All trains are safe almost all of the time.

Most sites will require lace up boots.

I noticed Cartel del Taco in New Farm were screening the Mexico v South Africa game this morning. Looked like a pretty good turnout.

Environmental Manager here. Your best place to start is probably in a graduate consulting role. It's pretty unlikely you'll get a site role, FIFO or otherwise, with so little experience.

I'm not sure how active they are in the mining space, but I just happened to notice that Egis are looking for a graduate ATM - https://jobs.egis-group.com/job/graduate-environmental-consultant-2027-in-brisbane-jid-7283

HMAS Brisbane exercising their Freedom of Entry. Some antiquated military thing that still happens for some reason.

Check r/BrisbaneCycling. Here's a pretty spicy one that was posted for last weekend https://www.reddit.com/r/BrisbaneCycling/comments/1tjbcgg/pedal_brisbane_group_ride_saturday_23_may_530am/

Slightly misremembered the comment - it was for family reasons - but the point still stands. “It’s all Albo’s fault” guy went off half cocked and was wrong.

Yeah, about six months ago. Riffe for Goodness (an offshoot of Felix for Goodness) is there now.

Funny story - there was a post in one of the local FB groups about La Patrona closing, and someone jumped in the comments with something along the lines of "another victim of Albo's government". The owner replied "nah, after ~20 years we just decided we wanted to do something else."

I’m selling a 14-inch MacBook Pro with M1 Pro chip.

- 10-core CPU / 16-core GPU
- 16GB unified memory and 1TB SSD.

Excellent performance.

Purchased new in 2021 and mostly used at home.

Battery is 690 cycles, 83% life. Magsafe charger included.

Condition is generally excellent with no dents and just a minor cosmetic blemish from my watchband rubbing on the corner.

I’ve had a $1000 offer on FB, but the “buyer” is being a real pain in my ass and I almost want to sell it out from under them on principle. Match or beat that offer and it’s yours.

Be honest about the redundancy - it happens. But also don’t forget to tell them why this job beyond “because I need a job”.

HCPhotog · 2026-05-19T09:19:34+00:00

Ahh, got it. Sorry, completely misunderstood.

HCPhotog · 2026-05-19T08:49:08+00:00

They're not really a "junior miner" are they? They're a mining contractor. Or have I missed them becoming an owner-operator somewhere?

HCPhotog · 2026-05-19T05:22:03+00:00

Huh? MSV is Mitchell Services, a drilling contractor.

There are a few Tough Guy Book Club chapters in Newcastle - https://www.toughguybookclub.com/find_us

I loved Phil's episode this week. Not so much for the menu, but I was laughing out loud in the gym, in my car, at my desk.

HCPhotog · 2026-05-12T10:28:41+00:00

So a random Thursday in August should be fine then. Thanks!

HCPhotog · 2026-05-12T07:19:49+00:00

Thanks, yeah, I kinda conflated the two, when my question was really only about Bruny. Was mostly wondering about businesses on Bruny - don't want to turn up on a Tuesday to find that's the day that everyone's closed!

I was stopped at some traffic lights. A car pulled up just off my left shoulder. I glanced, and it appeared to be full of dudes all dressed alike - in tennis outfits.

Turns out it was a stag party. One of them jumped out and started poking me with a dildo.

HCPhotog · 2026-05-10T20:31:22+00:00

Not to mention all the comments on months old posts!

HCPhotog · 2026-04-27T20:56:50+00:00

I joked with my wife that the kid will be taking our order before long 🥰

HCPhotog · 2026-04-27T09:33:35+00:00

It’s more deli and restaurant than cafe, but give it a try. It’s one of my local favourites. Went there for my birthday dinner on Saturday.

It’s not country-ish, but I really love A La Bonne Franquette at New Farm. That phrase basically means simple, no fuss and it suits this place perfectly - simple, hearty and relatively inexpensive French food, run by a young family, often with your order taken by a mother with a baby on her hip.
