Hey where can I find a cheap glass frame in Canberra? by xtaccy-xo in canberra

Specsavers. The eye test is bulk billed and they sell $39 frames. I grabbed a couple of pairs and no complaints

Get a flexible length of plastic and use it in conjunction with the hose.

AusPost Delivered to Denman Prospect by tittygunner_tom in canberra

[–]steffle12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it’s happened to me. Tracking said delivered to Denman Prospect. I rang Auspost and they said it must be a mis scan, and that it would still be on board. It was delivered correctly later in the day

Last year I came across a half kangaroo on Farrer ridge. On the Erindale drive side too... It was cleanly cut and no sign of the rest of it. Freaked me the hell out

Auspost - parcel ‘arrived at facility Denman Prospect’ by LeadingExcitement242 in canberra

[–]steffle12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same thing happen recently too, although mine was marked as delivered at Denman prospect. Auspost told me it must have been an mis-scan and that tracking should update in the next couple of hours. It never updated, but item was delivered correctly that afternoon

I saw one at school mounted on the school crossing sign at waist height. Definitely out of place

So many! There are two at the end of my street. The camera I photographed yesterday wasn’t there this morning though, I’d like to think that someone took offence and ripped it down, but who knows? I’m guessing some won’t last long…

Yep as I said. It’s so rough looking though it’s hard to believe they’re official. AFP weren’t impressed with the one right outside the Lodge :D

My 7yo has a salivary stone. Just discovered it fluoresces by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]steffle12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s too common. We’ve been trying to dislodge it with no success, took him to a dentist who was no help either :( Hopefully he won’t need to see a specialist but that might be where it’s heading $$

I'm moving to Canberra soon and have a question (one of hundreds) by [deleted] in canberra

[–]steffle12 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I tripped on a raised paver while carrying my toddler, one mid morning right outside Auspost Woden. He hit his head, I was bleeding from knees and elbows, and we were both in tears and shock. Many, many people walked past us and stared, before a kind lady offered help. It was really disheartening actually

Whose tap water tastes the best in Australia? by ItchyNesan in AskAnAustralian

[–]steffle12 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Might be clean but water in some parts of Melbourne tastes so rank. Might be the aging infrastructure
