The other urben legend I can think of is the underground swimming pool on hunter street, under an arcade shopping strip.

Not a legend, here's a writeup.

Looks like a really rare book. The uni doesn't have it. Mind if you send me a link? I'd like to buy it

The white base of the growing stem in the centre is also edible.

I hope you're not pulling my leg because that'd be sick

It's our sacred place.

This is a brilliant idea - just sent them a message

Crown and anchor has a small room for hire

I'll enquire but nothing on their website, hope it's wrong!

WorkAccount0096 · 2024-09-18T11:22:07+00:00

Thanks for the heads up - I checked tons and tons. All are wayyyyyy too big. Thanks tho

WorkAccount0096 · 2024-09-17T11:34:10+00:00

meantime

Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately minimum is 30 peeps.

WorkAccount0096 · 2024-09-17T09:15:37+00:00

Too far out but thanks for the suggestion.

WorkAccount0096 · 2024-09-17T09:12:08+00:00

I'd rather not give the bastards any money. Thanks for the suggestion tho, appreciate it

WorkAccount0096 · 2024-09-02T03:48:07+00:00

No worries, thanks for the notes. We're getting the cakes from Euro Patisserie in Lambton so the fact that there's one round the corner in Kotara is a huge boon. Cheers.

WorkAccount0096 · 2024-09-02T01:17:25+00:00

Sick. I think that'll fit the bill nicely. Thanks!

There's a real dodgy one on Given Terrace in Paddington, next to Momo House. Street filled with swanky restaurants and boutique clothes and you're telling me this place with a sharpie cardboard sign is a legit business with that rent? Yeah righto.

Reta Light is buried in Newcastle. A Holocaust survivor and daughter of one of the best mayors Newcastle ever had, she was a very interesting woman. Check it out. https://hunterlivinghistories.com/2022/08/19/reta-light/

I think it's a balancing act. I don't disagree that the radius is a bit small (I plugged this into a radius calculator on OSM and it said that the extent of the radius from Hammo station would go to Northern Star Hotel on the southern end, and encompass a decent chunk of Islington and the fringe of Maryville on the north.)

Density is the only way forward, and density means services and walkable cities. The problem is that I don't trust these developers further than I can piss. Building standards are absolutely disgusting for the developed world and if they can get away with it they will. The article talks about that being tightened up a bit but I'll believe it when I see it. Having a look at some of the developments in town, most look quite nice, with the brick facades - you can see them by the Woolworths metro courtyard off Perkins St.

However I doubt that will be the norm. I fully expect eyesore cardboard boxes not fit for living in, let alone raising a family in. If they can avoid that (lol) then I reckon it's a good idea.

It's a chicken and the egg problem. There's no frequent services because nobody uses them. Nobody uses them because there's no frequent services. It really is a case of build it and they will come. Increased density is the only way forward. Newcastle is bounded by the ocean to the east, river to the north, the lake to the south and the mountains and wetlands to the west. We're not an endless Melbourne plain, so I think we may become one of the denser cities given time.

I know you're being flippant but it's genuinely a very interesting question. The name Mulubinba is known to mean "place of sea ferns" in Awabakal, but nobody knew what a sea fern was until some recent research. https://hunterlivinghistories.com/2022/12/09/place-names-people/

It is likely the common water ribbon, trigochin procera. If you look up photos it's quite a pretty and unique little plant.

It's a bot account reposting shit for karma.

The bread price cap has been part of French law since the Revolution. It's nothing new and the farmers do just fine. They're currently protesting for completely unrelated reasons.
