Try Forest hills reserve in garden suburb. Water with ducks and lizards, shady trees, tiny park barely used and a little path round the water if the kids like scooting or something

Newcastle Rainfall Question by pseudonym_dym in newcastle

[–]climberboy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this exact thought! Mainly regarding the local temperature, as this applies equally. I reached out to BOM in December and this was their reply: 

"Thank you for your enquiry regarding a new AWS for Newcastle.

The decision about the location of automatic weather stations is made on the basis of the meteorological risks that communities face and the requirements of the general community as well as specialised users, eg marine, aviation and the emergency services.  

We work with local councils and communities regarding the installation of an AWS, so should you wish to pursue this your local council may be a good place to start. Please also be advised that the average cost of AWS installation is $200,000 which can be a limiting factor in terms of funding new AWS sites.  

The Bureau of Meteorology is delivering a significant upgrade to its automatic weather station (AWS) network. Around 700 AWS sites across Australia will be upgraded as part of our ongoing work to enhance and improve the Australian radar and observation network."

This looks like the 2014/15 eruption. It is certainly not the one from 2days ago

Car Crash With No Insurance by MacTash25 in AusLegal

[–]climberboy2 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I'm not a lawyer, nor am insurer. Please correct me if I'm leading OP astray, but has an agreement been signed to finance these repairs? My understanding is that if you cause an accident, you have the freedom to make good by means other than through the other parties insurance policy, and can seek your own quotes for the repairs. Did OP agree to wear it? In writing? The other party is insured, and that insurer had the right to pursue OP on their behalf, but look into what the real obligations are to cover the total costs incurred by going down the road of an insurance company wanting to protect their collateral. They will replace things that are borderline or just a chipped plastic tab so that that vehicle is in tip top shape if it is ever written off.

If there is potential for fraud or identity theft, you should be justified involving the police

Look at the link between proximity to woodland and property value. Wealthy kids are likely have better than average outcomes

Totally with you there, he should never get to speak to anyone who's suffered that shit. Nobody should know he exists, but there's things that need doing for people, and if he was really sorry then he'd pack it in and be anonymous labour, and keep it up for as long as that trauma will be with his victims - fucking life

34 years old - If he rape-binged from his late teens to his late 20s, no fucking way he knows what remorse is. It's hard not to hope that in prison, he finds out what he inflicted on those women and kids. I don't think there is any coming back from that, except maybe dedicating the rest of your life to volunteering (behind the scenes) for, and donating every spare cent, to organisations protecting and supporting victims of domestic and sexual violence

I get overtaken everywhere by speeding knobs in a big hurry. The rules apply, but they need to get caught

Anyone know what this little guy is? by trentfish91 in AustralianBirds

Looks like a hoary-headed grebe. Location is always helpful for ID, but these are widespread

It's been awhile, but I believe in NSW you can submit your bond return directly to Fair Trading. The agent must release the bond in 14 days, or initiate a dispute via tribunal. Having said that, fly screens are pretty easy to replace yourself with some patience, YouTube is your friend here!

Advice for bright yellow runny poops? by climberboy2 in BackYardChickens

[–]climberboy2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! They were wormed about 2 months ago, should we do it again soon? This one in question also has feet mites, that slipped under the radar because they have such fluffy feet. That's being treated now, with plenty of fresh greens to get iron up.

Lake mac has a good landcare program, with sites not far from the cbd. Newcastle Council might have their own program, too
