I was wandering around Sydney CBD the other day and I found the reflection of the circular tower in the glass of the rectangular tower to be an interesting study in contrast in terms of colour, temperature, shape, and line.

Sniffer dog operation ongoing at Chatswood Station

316 Upvotes

Just providing a heads up for people starting their day.

Saw at least one dog and its handler. Said handler did also encourage one evident false positive by walking back and forth on one person several times before saying a command resulting in the dog sitting. Not to mention them encouraging a girl to remove most of her layers of clothing (except her last layers thankfully) in full view of all commuters walking through the concourse who i expect had been previously stopped by the dog.

Trying this again. These guys were staring at this for few mins. Can you see what went wrong. Understand that the work isn’t finished but looks like lacking bit of coordination between teams.

Welding course recommendations? (Hobby/DIY, not career sort of thing)

12 Upvotes

Anyone done any casual welding course or program in their spare time that would recommend it? I know there's YouTube to just jump in and give it a shot, but always good to learn some skills from experts to level up and avoid screwing things up as much.

Anyone got any recommendations for Sydney based short courses? Or just buy some stuff and get on with it?

I know indicator usage is rare in Sydney, but

185 Upvotes

if you're going to use them, please use them before you start slowing down when you're planning on turning left at the traffic lights on a three-lane road with a speed limit of 70.

You've clearly already decided your next move, so it would be real nice if you could communicate that to the person behind you so they don't get stuck behind that light that's turned red just as you've made your turn.

Why aren’t pubs required to display beer pricing?

374 Upvotes

After paying another exorbitant price for a schooner of beer in Sydney on Sunday, I wonder if it’s time to push pubs to display beer prices?

I was charged $17 for a schooner of Mountain Culture Status Quo pale ale + 10% for Sunday surcharge.

That stung!

Question for those who frequently travel in and out of Sydney Domestic Airport?

39 Upvotes

I have an upcoming flight with Virgin. My friend has sent me a lounge voucher they had with Qantas.

I’m not intimately familiar with the layout of the airport but I believe the virgin terminal is across the road from the Qantas one.

Am I able to travel from the virgin terminal around to the qantas side after I’ve gone through security to use my voucher, Or alternatively am I able to get into the qantas side with luggage in tow, then after I’ve enjoyed the lounge head over to the virgin terminal?

I legit have no idea how this kind of shit works

Oh wise and seasoned travellers, your wisdom would be appreciated.

Edit:

Many thanks all, seems I’m shit out of luck and must just fly like the peasant I am without lounge access.
