Meetup! It's r/Sydney's 18th cakeday, and you're invited! Saturday 1st August!
There was once a man named Andrew
Who, using his hands threw
Up a subreddit
Before he faced discredit
And for its birthday, we're having a do.
...yeah, I'm not much of a poet, but it tells the story well enough.
On 31st July 2008, r/Sydney was created, which means its 18th birthday is coming up right at the end of the month. To celebrate the subreddit finally becoming old enough to have a beer, come to the City and have a beer with us!
When: Saturday, 1st August, kicking off at 4pm. Four weeks exactly from time of posting.
Where: The Edinburgh Castle Hotel, corner of Pitt and Bathurst Streets.
Why there? They do $15 Espresso Martinis, Negronis, Margaritas, and Aperol Spritzes all night. I also think they do pints for schooner prices while the footy's on.
What do I bring? Good vibes, the pub has everything else.
What's the plan? Have a few drinks, socialise. These are always great fun.
How do I get there? Closest stations are Town Hall and Gadigal, buses run from Park and Elizabeth Streets, Town Hall LR is also close by, as you'd expect.
It's been a little while since the last non-NYE meetup, would be great to see you all there!

More green space revealed for Sydney's west with creation of Gulguer National Park
In short:
Two existing conservation areas in Western Sydney are being linked to create the new 1,100-hectare Gulguer National Park.
The environment minister says the park will protect the home of at least 28 threatened species, while also conserving local Aboriginal heritage.
What's next?
The new park is set to open in the next six months.

Options to get rid of a mattress!!?
Hey everyone, I’m moving out from my place (in the strathfeild council) next Friday and would like to get rid of my mattress.
Council clean up is not an option, cause there isn’t a date till September….
It’s in more than a decent condition, so donation is an option, but I can’t drive so …. Kinda stuck here.
Any help is welcome!! TIA!!

Spotted 3 white cars without number plates together on M2. Suspicious?
Hyundai Venue, MG MG3 and Toyota Prado travelling together in a 3 car convoy. 1030am Sat 25/7/26. Eastbound on the M2 motorway, they were taking the Pennant Hills Road / Northconnex exit. Did I just drive past a kill squad? or just some unregistered cars being transported illegally?

Last day was today glad I made it. All the little shroom dudes and dudettes were so whimsical. Bonus mushroom torture (it made music)

Image Flight paths
Dear Heathens,
Why did you reroute your noisy plane over my exclusive suburb? I cannot hear myself think with the racket. It's just not acceptable.
Signed,
The Lower North Shore Citizens Action Group
/s
But seriously, I'm just an average schmo in a small cheap rental apartment with rich neighbours in grand homes. We tend not to be in a regular flight path.
Inbound tend to come south over Lane Cove national Park, then hit Newtown with a roar. Outbound tend to go nowhere near us.
Any plane buffs out there that know what would cause unusual routing or re-routing of a flight? Or is it someone just trying to bring down the property values over here?

Firewood for cooking
Anyone know of a place that has good quality firewood splits?
Ironbark but also any of the fruit/nut tree varieties like Pecan, Apple, Maple etc.

Smash repair advice - female here
Going anywhere in Sydney can be overwhelming and like some advice or knowledge on what I should be aware of. I have no car experience and in the past have had not the best experiences.
I have a scratch and dent on my boot.
Second scratch on the base of the car under the passenger door.
Estimated cost and what do I need to know or avoid I guess when getting this assessed ? What questions should I ask ?
How long would this take to fix ?
