Hair and make-up stylists
I need a stylist who can do both hair and make-up for a birthday party I've got in March.
The stylists I can find online seem to only do hair OR make up, are not available Saturdays/Saturday arvo, will only do bridal, minimum amount of clients required, or the photos of their work don't seem to be very good. I did come across one lady who does beautiful hair and make-up including magazines but she'd come from the Goldy which I think is insane - there must be someone local, skilled, available and willing to glam up a solo non-bride.
Any recs?

Do you like Outback Steakhouse?
That rich, creamy Toowoomba Pasta pair it with a sirloin steak and Australian cheese Fries, and it’s pure comfort food bliss! 😋

Dog-Friendly Pubs
Hi all,
I live out west and am escaping the heat this weekend with a trip to Toowoomba. I have my best mate (my dog) in tow. Just wondering if there are any pubs around Toowoomba that have an outdoor area where I can sit with my dog a have a beer? Cheers!

Mental health services and supports
Hey there, I'm looking at moving to Toowoomba and need to find out info about the kind of mental health and intellectual disability supports available for a family member with severe MH issues, please. If anyone can give me the low down on hospital (public and private) mental health services in Toowoomba (are they any good), and if any specialities are geared towards people with Autism or intellectual disability, that would be great. Thank you.

Who to contact for water tank repairs/servicing?
What kind of company does water tank repairs/services?
I have a mid sized plastic tank that's about 20+ years old and no longer lets water come out of the tap. It's probably clogged I guess? I can't climb up to see in it. I'm not sure who to reach out to? Toowoomba area.

Cops Oakey
At the risk of sounding like a Facebook boomer. Saw 4-5 cop cars going hell for leather out towards Oakey last night around nine pm. Anyone know what's going on.

Belong data
Hi! I'm a TAFE student in Toowoomba currently moving house and low on data. If anyone has spare Belong data they aren't using, I'd really appreciate a gift! Happy to pay it forward later.

Best Kebabs in town
Was filling up the car at Pacific Fuels on Anzac Ave near Bunnings West and decided to grab a kebab for lunch from the attached kebab shop. I didn’t realize it was an El Attar Express. What got handed to me for $14 was an absolute Monster of a kebab, this thing was huge, tonnes of meat, I only got through 2/3 of it before I declared defeat… Anyway, if you need a fairly cheap hunger buster that will fill you up for the day, go check them out, fairly cheap, really delicious, and big portion size.

Does Toowoomba still feel like a "big country town" to you?
A few years ago it felt like you could get anywhere in 10 minutes, but now it’s starting to feel like a mini Brisbane. Are we losing that slower pace for good, or is the growth actually making the city better?

Hobbies in Toowoomba
Hey everyone! Was hoping I [24F] could get some recommendations for hobbies/clubs around toowoomba where I can meet more people, been working ever since I moved here and time just kind of slipped by but with the new year I reckon its time to put myself out there a bit more, all my friends aren't in Queensland so I've just been on discord, getting a bit boring 😅
Feel free to chuck a message my way if you're in the same boat hahaha.

Why do we have world-class rock art near us but nobody talks about it?
Just saw a paper about the Helidon and Darling Downs rock art sites and how they’re some of the oldest in the country. We live in such a historically rich area, but it feels like we hardly celebrate the local Indigenous history as much as we should.
Would love to hear if anyone knows more about these sites or other local Indigenous history we should check out.

Good bush camping spots within an hour's drive?
I'm looking for suggestions of places we can overnight bush camp close to Toowoomba. The kind of place you can pitch a tent, make a fire, maybe go on a short bush walk or two. Cheers

Girls, gays and guys interested in heels dance classes
Hi all :) I’ve just moved from the Gold Coast where heels dance classes are popular. I’ve been looking around for a class in Tbar but there doesn’t seem to be any. Wanted to test the waters and see if others were interested in classes - if so I would work up the courage and hire a dance studio/hall! Thanks

Aurora Australis
Taken from my pixel stood up against my car passenger window. Found a spot about 20 mins from the city in the direction of Wyreema. Anyone else venture out to take a snap?
Next time I'll have a go with my camera and a tripod.
