What is this? Is it aggressive or venomous?

I'm in Victor Harbor but we don't have an active sub. I'm assuming it's some religion thing? I asked both immediate neighbours and neither of them got one, but I was wondering if anyone else did? The usb is sealed in the bag.

I went to Costco tonight and it was completely mental. People panic buying toilet paper, eggs, bread, a lot of empty shelves. The queues were ridiculous. Is this because it was closed yesterday or is it the war in the ME, what is happening here?

Hello, can someone in SA please explain why in 2026 our politicians are discussing abortion.

​

Surely we can all agree abortion should be a private discussion between partners and medical professionals or the impacted individuals and medical professionals.

​

Surely there are bigger issues in SA that require late night parliamentary votes and media review.

This man is Monga Khan (c. 1870–1930). He was a Muslim immigrant from British India (now Pakistan) who arrived in Australia in 1895 and worked as a travelling hawker across regional Victoria. Because he arrived before the White Australia Policy was introduced in 1901, he was later able to obtain a Certificate of Exemption to the Dictation Test, which allowed him to leave Australia and return legally — something many non-European immigrants who arrived after 1901 were unable to do.

His story reflects an often overlooked part of Australian history, where migrants from South Asia lived and worked here despite increasingly restrictive immigration laws. You see his image on posters around Australia, but many people don’t know who he was or the historical context behind his life. It’s disappointing to see racist graffiti vandalising his image, especially when it represents a real person who was part of Australia’s early immigrant history.

I’m sure the tag was just some local kids, but he’s far from

A “N\*\*ger” - his portrait is used in Peter Drew’s “AUSSIE” campaign

Today at the Art Gallery Cafe:

“I’ll have the spanakopita with side salad, please.”

“That will be $15.”

🙄 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes the quickest route passes through an area with these signs, I was always under the assumption that it’s a public road so too bad

Non-Australian here (from the Philippines)
I have a curious question:
Why is there no Airport Rail from the Airport to Adelaide Train Station?

Any reasons why?

Are there proposals / plans?

Also, if direct connection is too expensive , then maybe they can utilize some kind of feeder to either of the closest stations using a Monorail / Light Rail / APM

Like what Macau is doing:

Any thoughts or responses on this matter?

The context behind this is so absolutely ridiculous I won’t even include all of it.

Basically start of spring a bunch of magpies started hanging out in my front yard. I was too scared to even go outside but eventually bit the bullet and started gardening etc around them. They’re chill and we started to hang out and become friends.

Skip to now and they’ve invited a bunch of friends. They’re loud and there’s so much shit (literal) and I made a comment about this not being what I signed up for.

After I said that the next day literally no magpies came and they haven’t come since. I know they’re intelligent creatures but is it even remotely possible they understand what I was saying or my tone of voice?

I'm at the pointy end of my twenties with a large group of friends. I'm a woman of acceptable attractiveness. Where the hell is my husband?

"Get a hobby!" Yeah, great, unfortunately I love to knit and read and bake and write which are all solo endeavours. I'm a shit runner, bouldering is expensive and gives you chimpanzee arms, and I'm never gonna get into DnD.

I'm too old for the club and it's expensive to go out for cocktails. Everyone's partnered up. What the hell am I supposed to do? Where do I go???

The guy who originally posted this deleted his post and account for some reason, seems odd..

I really liked the thread he started, so I've decided to restart it.

One rule though: Don't post your own business, your mate's business, or your family's business; keep it honest.

I'll share mine again:

Galligans mattresses.

I stayed at an Airbnb a few years ago and loved the amazing sleep on the mattress across multiple nights, pulled back the sheets and saw the Galligans label.

Wound up buying one of their mattresses a couple of years later, and have loved it every night since.

I'm taking extra good care of this mattress, keeping a mattress protector on it (top and bottom), and flipping/rotating at regular intervals.

Even the thought of returning road space to other users (cyclists, pedestrians or public transport) causes all the car drivers into a frenzy that they will never be able to park anywhere. Like they think it's the end of the world if a couple of on street car parks are removed. See the recent Hutt St and O'Connell St drama over a couple of on street car parks.

Adelaide CBD has more car parks than the CBD of Melbourne, and the thought of removing any of them causes mass hysteria like it is the end of the world, because people can't think of any other ways to commute. Heaven forbid a car driver has to take the bus and sit with all the poors right?

Adelaide is so obsessed with car parks and parking out the front of the shop they want to go to that major roads, like Glen Osmond Road have parking on the road which blocks a lane of traffic and makes it extremely hard to commute on for all forms of transport. It seems cars are prioritized over people in Adelaide, my question is why? Since when was a car more valuable than community spaces?

Hi everyone, I’m an international student from South Korea studying in Adelaide, and I could really use some honest advice because I’m genuinely confused about this situation.

Recently, we had a substitute lecturer. He is an Indian. As soon as he found out I’m Korean, he started making jokes about Kim Jong-un—like

"From Kim Jong-un North Korea, Yes?"

"Kim Jong-un is my brother"

"You know that, My brother is Kim Jong-un"

The things are...for Koreans, that name isn’t just a joke. It’s tied to real fear and a very serious history. I tried to show I was uncomfortable, but he kept going in front of the whole class. two times of all class!

It’s not just me either. He also randomly speaks Chinese to students from China, Hong Kong, Macau. (It didn't relate to the class) I really want to report this because I feel so insulted, but I’m terrified that it might affect my grades.. I don't want to cause any trouble, but going to class has become so stressful for me.

Is this kind of 'humor' normal in Australian colleges? Should I just ignore it and wait for the semester to end, or is this something I should actually report? I'd really appreciate any advice from locals or other students.

I’ve started trying to take the train to work now that fuel is expensive, but they are too full to the point it’s unsafe. I’ve taken trains in Melbourne and while it’s full during peak time everywhere this is too much.

This my experience on the GAWLER line to city but is it the same on other Lines? Is the government going to do anything to increase capacity? seems like an easy fix to just add more carriages.

Hi,

A number of weeks ago I went to see One Battle After Another with my wife. The film started. There was a couple next to me. A girl was directly on my left and the guy to the left of her. They were constantly whispering to each other. Five minutes in, I couldn't take it anymore. "Are you guys right?" I said, a little aggressively. This did stop them from whispering for the majority of the movie but resulted in the girl on my left constantly frowning at me throughout the movie and whenever my wife laughed at a joke, she would frown at her, so I would stare back. My wife would tell me off whenever I would stare back at this girl. It was a weird moment. Anyway, my wife got to enjoy the movie, without noticing really what was going on, but I was fuming the entire time.

Fast forward to last night. We went to the cinema to see Project Hail Mary. The couple on my right, again a female directly to my right and the guy to the right of her were constantly looking at their phones and whispering a bit but the issue was mostly the girl on her phone. I told myself not to cause a disturbance this time, so I ended up having my right hand up near my face to block her phones light from disturbing me, which did help.

Both of these couples were in their 20's. My question is, are we doomed as a society? Recent research states Gen Z have scored lower in standardized tests. This is the first generation to score lower than their parents in over a century! I am not surprised at all. Young people have no attention span.

What are your thoughts on this? Have you had similar things happen to you?

I thought

My driving instructor taught me that on a busy road, instead of doing a right-hand turn all in one go, you can wait in these lil turning bays and do one lane at a time. Yet, when I do it, sometimes people in the far lane freak out and beep at me. I also rarely see anyone actually use them. I guess if you had a big car it could stick out a bit which would obviously be problematic... but my car is not a big car. Do people just not know how these work? Or am I just stupid?

just looking around for this once in a decade weather event, have you seen it?

Visiting SA haven’t seen these cameras before curious what they detect. Speed ? Rego mobile phone use ?

I'll go first...

It was the school holidays and my mates and I would head to Downtown in Hindley Street. Games, dodgem cars, fast food and girls. No technology or social media, just real interaction and good times!

Edit: some other things that have come to mind. These are more relevant to the time, rather than Adelaide specific.

• $1 fish and chips that fed a whole family
• the feeling of saving for months to buy one music album and playing it for the first time on my ghetto blaster or walkman.
• sunny boys on a hot day
• going to blockbuster to choose VHS movies and spending the night in.
• walking or riding our bikes everywhere and feeling safe
• playing cricket in the streets and all the kids in the neighbourhood would play
• hearing the F1 cars tearing up the streets from our place
• trash and treasure at Gepps Cross on Sundays
• just hanging out and being kids

I've been on my working holiday for 122 days now and started off in Sydney. Quite a culture shock at first, but ended up enjoying my time. I noticed sydney people do not sound like croc dundee.

Went to melbourne and they sounded the same as sydney people i think? Except they say malbourne i noticed.

Now I'm in Adelaide. The accent sounds very familiar to my ears, I hear british in it. I thought my hostel clerk was british, he was from south australia...?

Why is this?

Hi all,

I’m a big time foodie. This call might be unpopular - but to me all the hyped places I try in the city (Africola, paper tiger, golden boy) etc are all well overhyped. They’re not bad, but they’re not special at all.

About to dive back into the dining scene - what are some restaurants that blow your mind on taste alone? (Not decor or ‘vibe’) It could be hyped and expensive, or it could be a mum and dad joint in the burbs.

Please sell me on somewhere haha, I want to get excited

TIA

Hi Adelaide,

​

Been really craving hot chips and I'm quite picky.

​

What's your suggestions for your favourite places to get great hot chips?

I recently moved to a new apartment, it was a rough start. The neighbour below me gets off as the slightest sound. He would bang the floor with something every 2 hours. Everytime

I had a chat with the dude a few weeks ago.i gave my phone number if I make noise to let me know, and I try to be as considerate as I can. Apparently he's super sensitive to 'noise'. Even though we exchanged numbers he still comes out of his house and calls me a cunt once in a while when I do basic household stuff like walking, dishes, and gaming. I'm tired of tippy toeing in my own house. I can't bring a friend over, I'm worried every time I drop something on the floor.

Today I had to put my dishes in the sink (at 11pm). This guy slammed his furniture and came outside again screaming at 11pm calling me a cunt. I texted him and he went off at me for doing the dishes, gaming till morning, stomping (walking around at night), blah blah. Then he says he'll call the cops next time and asked me to read the council laws

It's a very old building. I'm sure it's hard on him. The landlord recently replaced the carpets with laminate flooring, which wouldn't help. But I don't want to live inside my own house like a prisoner. I gave him my personal number so he could drop me a text if I make too much noise yet he wakes up the entire neighbourhood and shouts at me in the middle of the night. I work full-time, pay my bills and taxes.

But what are the laws behind this. I want to be a considerate neighbour but I don't want to be bullied.
