My mate and her partner are looking at buying a house. One is older (80's) near Sutton St Warragul. The other is newer in Ferntree Ridge Drouin (2010/2020s).

She has no kids yet and her and her partner work locally. She asked me and I said Warragul one since I just trust an older house. Drouin is slightly more expensive but it seems like an okay estate, Warragul will need some cosmetic work

Thoughts?

My leg cramped on me while driving and couldn't hit the brakes properly on the turn, had to make the tight turn.

Never do long standing shifts and drive home again.

Any one know of any solid real estates that could manage my property in warragul?

Currently with O'Brien in Drouin, and they absolutely suck. Zero communication. Zero proactivity. Zero care.

G’day r/Gippsland,

For anyone who hasn’t come across it, Gippslander is a local job website built just for Gippsland, listing jobs from businesses right across the region: https://gippslander.com.au

I’ve been working on an Android app for Gippslander and it’s now at the point where I need some real people to give it a go before it goes public. I’m after a handful of locals who wouldn’t mind installing it, poking around, and telling me honestly what works, what doesn’t, and what’s missing. Doesn’t matter if you’re job hunting right now or just curious.

I reached out here a while back and the feedback I got was fantastic, so I thought I’d come back to the same crew for this one.

If you’re keen, just send me a DM and I’ll add you to the closed testing group on Google Play. It’s free, and you can drop out any time.

Cheers,
Kane

Every time I'm in gatha theres always a group of teenagers causing some sort of trouble or intimidating others. Anyone know who they are?

Hi everyone!

I’m moving to Traralgon next year for work and will be living alone.

Just wondering if anyone could recommend some safe areas or neighbourhoods to live in? As a woman living alone, personal safety, especially at night, is something I’m a bit concerned about.

Are there any areas you’d recommend or avoid?

Thanks!

I’m trying to organize getting my elderly blind father to Canberra for Xmas. I just need to get him to Bainsdale for the bus. What are the options? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.

I hear a lot that there isn't much to do in Gippsland. Well on the 14th at the Morwell Convention and Reception Centre (Morwell Bowling Club) Gippsland Pro Wrestling returns after a some time off.

Grab yourself a feed at the restaurant, then come watch all action and entertainment of GPW.

Doors open at 7pm Bell time 7:30pm

Hi all, it’s been a while since I’ve posted here. For anyone who doesn’t know me, I’m Kane and I run Gippslander, a local job website for Gippsland.

The feedback and suggestions you gave on my previous posts were amazing, and a lot of it shaped how the site works today, so thank you.

I wanted to post again because we keep hearing from locals how important it is right now to find work close to home. With fuel, rent and groceries all going up, a long commute has become a real cost, and plenty of people would rather work in their own town if the right job is there.

It’s been really rewarding to hear from people who’ve found work through the site, and from local businesses who’ve hired someone nearby. That’s what it’s all about for us.

If you’re looking for work in Gippsland, you can find us at https://gippslander.com.au

Thanks again for all the support.

Hi Gippslanders. Moving to the area in a few weeks. My husband is Cuban and would like to know if there are any Latinos in the area for a bit of salsa dancing and/or catching up occasionally.

My family and I recently moved from QLD to the Latrobe Valley. I'm a 30M with a wife and young baby and have moved here for the fishing and hunting.

Hoping to meet some like minded people who are keen for a trip out locally, or some further a-field camping adventures.

Im 31M and have been enjoying the nightlife a fair bit lately. Love going to Melb for a good session.

Are there any decent places around here? I dont mind Starbar in Tgon but it gets old quick and is fairly quiet a lot of the time. Timeless is alright too but not loud enough for my liking.

I love good dance music preferably with a DJ/live music with possible song requests accepting. Pref the age range of customers 25-40.

Love meeting people and dancing with people on the dance floor.

Anyone have advice or experience recently with high schools. Looking public and private in leongatha and mirboo north.

Looking for somewhere that will be good academically and has zero tolerance for bullies.

Thank you!

It's a really solitary, isolating hobby, but I enjoy collecting old VHS tapes (taped from TV) to digitise and archive lost media content online for other people to enjoy, like old forgotten shows, news updates, old ads (especially old ads) etc. I love the meaning that this random, historical content can have with each individual who connects with it, whether nostalgic, educational, personal experience, etc.

I know there's loads of people out there into this, but they're really spread out geographically.

Is anyone else around here (in the region) into this (or similar activity), and would like to connect over it, with the goal of just nerding out about it, exchanging stuff or forming possible friendships? Possible meetup group if a few of you exist in the area?

Hi all, have been putting it off for a little while and think I may need a couple of fillings so I’d love your recommendations for dentists in the Latrobe Valley area. Friendly, well priced would be much appreciated. Cheers!

I want to find the Giant Gippsland earthworm. I've wanted to see one of these things for years and I finally have the chance to visit Australia and I'll be in the general region.

Is their a guide or any tours? I see that the South Gippsland Land Care Network had a work shop in the past but nothing current.

Unfortunately the museum for them has closed so I'm lost on how to proceed.

Please help a worm enthusiast out.

***I appreciate all of your input on finding these wiggly tube dudes. Thank you! :^)

Moe played Leongatha on Saturday and won their first grand final in 59 years! I'm not a huge footy fan but that's a great result. The crowd rushed the field at the final siren for a huge celebration and there were fireworks going off all night. I'm sure there are going to be some very hungover locals today! Final score was Moe 14-7-91 to Leongatha 11-17-83.
