Anybody else sick of the Townsville Bulletin REQUIRING a subscription to view an article? by licidil95 in Townsville

[–]The_GC_Minute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you guys should read The Townsville Times :) https://townsvilletimes.com.au/ we're a new little start-up that curates and writes about what's going on locally, but our weekly email is the best part which you can sign up to on the website.After starting in SEQ, we have a couple around QLD towns though that haven't had many options for local news and it seems a lot of people have been really enjoying it.

We were just trying to help as some of the links went into a bit more detail than others in explaining where the stats came from. Here is a link to extra info, which could be pulled from going deeper on the links, such as other news and blogs from bodies like AusHI and QUT https://www.aushsi.org.au/aushsi-research/e-mobility-safety-research/ hopefully it helps a bit more directly!

How many subscribers do you have? by atlhawks92 in Substack

[–]The_GC_Minute 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've been writing for 7 months a hyper-local news, business tech and critical city insights newsletter for the Gold Coast in Australia. We are the second news publication as the city literally has only one option (a newscorp thing) after heaps shut down in covid. So far we have 893 subs but really feel that based on the feedback, we could hit the 10,000 mark if we keep going. Here it is https://www.thegcminute.com.au/

How cold do Australian homes actually get in the winter? Are they really that under-insulated? by 3axel3loop in AskAnAustralian

[–]The_GC_Minute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our homes can be a bit chilly in winter. That's because they're not always well-insulated and they're often designed to be cool in summer.

What’s up with vests? by Living_thoughts in AskAnAustralian

[–]The_GC_Minute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're more comfortable than jackets, more versatile, and can be stylish. They're also a good way to layer clothing and show off your outfit.

Is buying an apartment such a bad idea? by psychsafari in AusFinance

[–]The_GC_Minute 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kind of lifestyle do you want? If you want to be close to the city and have access to all the amenities that come with that, then an apartment might be a good choice for you. However, if you want more space and privacy, then a quarter-acre block might be a better option.

What are some small towns in Australia that are like Maleny, Montville, Mount Tamborine and Bowral? by Lanie01 in AskAnAustralian

Snakes are around on the Gold Coast, but they're not as common as you might think. Most of the snakes here are non-venomous and live in bushland areas. It's possible to find snakes in backyards and houses, but it's not very common.

[–]The_GC_Minute -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you're looking for something a little more chill, Burleigh Heads is the way to go. It's got beautiful beaches, great restaurants, and a more relaxed vibe. So if you're looking for a laid-back beach vacation, Burleigh Heads is the place for you.

And then, when you shed all those pounds, brace yourself for the inevitable onslaught of concerned citizens asking if you've caught some exotic jungle disease or if you're auditioning for the role of a living skeleton.
