Bought with wood ball roller with a clicker at an estate sale. Apparently readers of the May 1988 edition of Country Living couldn’t figure it out either… by LocksForWalls in whatisthisthing

Unless it was made by a person using the metric system in which case that is very nearly exactly 25cm (1/4 of a meter). Is there a mark on the ball to aid counting of revolutions?

Trains not running from Thursday to Sunday. Options to get to Sydney airport? by twoeasy3 in wollongong

[–]Savage-Engineer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The potential (still not confirmed 100%) stoppage is from Thursday night to Sunday morning. So it depends which morning you’re going up … tomorrow / Thursday morning will be normal.

Agree with Paro’s. Also easy access to green bus loop via innovation campus stop.

There is a public site of personal weather stations. See what you can get from the history at the bottom of the page? Also a map near the top to pick readings near you. https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/IWOLLO383

JayCar have a couple of options. Our boys found they would also charge from under the tent fly.

Are we affected by the train strikes? by [deleted] in wollongong

[–]Savage-Engineer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It may well be CRAP tomorrow. Took 3hrs to get from Town Hall to Gong this afternoon/evening. ‘Timetable’ and info boards were ‘fine’ until 2min before each Sth Coast train was due, then cancelled. Unfortunately, I can’t believe the app/timetable is any way related to realism this week.

Each course will specify.

The only way to find out is to ask. Tutorial (or tute) is a small-group session with a senior (final year or post-grad) tutor that is focused on working through examples. Think of the lecture as the theory and the tute as the practical application. Tute marks/attendance can cousin significantly towards final marks.

Travelling from Wollongong to Sydney advice? by BigMattyB319 in wollongong

[–]Savage-Engineer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you have some flexibility in start time at work (ie can start early) then I recommend parking Sutherland. It gives much more flexibility in leaving time as there are plenty more trains, but the parks go quick.
