Demographic In Mount Duneed

0 Upvotes

Hi All,

I’ve been living in the South-Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne since birth and have lived in one suburb where 95% of the population is one demographic (country of origin)

Can anyone shed some light on the demographics in the area without labelling me racist etc.

TYIA!

Cheers

Curly/wavy hair salon in Geelong appreciation

Post image
32 Upvotes

A shoutout to Cornerworks in East Geelong for helping me out with my hair. I woke up with curls a few months ago after having straight hair as a kid and a slight wave as an adult, and it was hard to navigate a curl routine as I was overseas for a while. They sorted out my curls and I’m so grateful. I’ve been going to them for years now, from getting my hair bleached blonde during covid times (lol), to getting my hair chopped to a short bob, and now curl washes and curl cuts, I highly recommended them.

I don't know shit about modding consoles ect, but this guy for only 80 bucks did it for me, cleaned my console from dust it had, & best of all fix the disc drive as it use to buffer a bit ever time I'd open it. If I have any concerns with the console or need extra adding to it or have another console in mind to have jailbreak or micro I'll going to him. Thanks again

Hi everyone, I'm taking headshots this weekend. Looking for any accent walls that would suit as background. Cool single colours ore details. Not street art as that will be heavy a contrast ...

Thanks

Anyone got any idea what the ticket prices will be for the Matilda’s November game at GMHBA? Trying to figure out if an fa+ account with the 15% discount would pay for itself if getting 8 tickets.

[Community] Can we just stop with the bloody rocks on nature strips?

15 Upvotes

If you can’t be assed mowing, you’re probably less likely to keep up with the weeds. It’s going to look like shit in 6 months and take ages to get neat again. Let the lawn grow for a few months and you can still get it mowed in about a hour. Also, I’m sick of all your rocks spilling onto the road and footpath. Just leave it as grass, which also looks better. Rant over

Coaches giving the MVP to their own kids? I’ve never experienced this anywhere else but Geelong.

I was shocked when I came across it first, like surely no one is that blatant in their favouritism but yes, happens year in and year out.

I think it’s bang out of order but no one else does.

Is this a Geelong thing?

Anyone else being charged late fees for classes they have attended?

Heard from a friend they are having system glitches with no way to stop it. It essentially marks you as having not attended when they have marked you there.

For pilates it’s $10 every no show. My mate had no clue they were charging her extra as it just came out of their account!

Just wanted to give people a heads up that they may be paying more than they should :)
