Spent most of today studying on the postgrad floor and swear half the monitors were occupied by abandoned water bottles and hoodies instead of actual students. Some desks sat untouched for HOURS while people kept walking around trying to find somewhere to work. I get taking a coffee break, but at some point it just becomes claiming territory.
Now that we’ve seen the Supras on track in four different states/countries, what’s the verdict on the aesthetics? The WAU Mobil1 Optus livery looks sharp, but does the car actually sound like a Supercar to you? I was at Ruapuna and the downshifts sounded "different" compared to the Mustang and Camaro. Is the three-manufacturer era everything we hoped for, or has it lost that classic Aussie "Red vs. Blue" soul?
I’m looking to buy my first place in Melbourne. Even with the government's 5% deposit scheme, the monthly repayments on an $800k property at current rates are looking like $5,400+. To the brokers: are FHBs actually still active in May 2026, or has the market completely shifted to "Upgraders only"? What is the absolute minimum income a single person needs right now to get a $600k loan approved without a guarantor?
What hobbies or groups have actually helped you connect with others here? Open to anything - sports, creative stuff, fitness, etc.
Jimmy Carr’s in town this Friday and I’m thinking of heading along. Just wondering if anyone else here is going and keen to meet up for a quick drink beforehand?
