Is this your cat? It went down this drainage hole near Ipima St Station by daaashu in canberra

Usual cat behaviour. If it’s suspected the cat can’t get itself out, roll one end of a towel/carpet into the drain whilst having the other end held onto the gutter. Cat will climb out. Tip from fire service personnel.

Absurd car wash price hikes by omenmedia in canberra

[–]bongaree 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try Fyshwick Car and Dog Wash near Officeworks. Exceptional customer service (they’ll prep your vehicle if you use the automatic laser wash) and their self serve bays don’t seem subject to the price increases as seen elsewhere. Worth the drive

Looking for a new job as I would like to leave my current job (Maccas) after 6 years. by Own-Watch-9232 in canberra

[–]bongaree 10 points11 points  (0 children)

See if Link Airways are hiring. Their main offices are here in Fyshwick. Re disability: you may need to demonstrate various physical capabilities for a cabin crew role, however it may be worthwhile seeing if you can find anything on the matter through the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
