[Community] PLEASE READ before creating a post about moving to Geelong
Hi everyone,
I have been meaning to make this post for awhile, to try and curb the amount of "Moving to Geelong! Which suburb should I pick?" posts. I am going to sticky this post for awhile, so any visitors can check before creating a post.
Please read through the enormous amount of posts this sub has already had on here.
If you STILL think your question hasn't been answered (and you are absolutely sure), you can create a new post.

Stolen stuff
galleryI had a bunch of stuff stolen out of my car while waiting for the ferry at Corio Bay Motel and would like to just put it out there what im looking for. Im not keen on just letting the police handle it because its not important stuff to them and honestly by the time they find anything all of my stuff will probably be trashed as it isn't worth much to other people.
I had a bunch of cloths taken (American size 4) and one specific shirt (the picture above) that is super important to me.
A pink Elle backpack
A mushroom tarot deck and a small bag of crystals, two of them being really noticeable as they are cat shapped.
And a ton of kpop merch. The two binders above and two albums (Illit's i like you and Karma blue version Stray Kids) along with a small sushi looking plush.
An airfryer
My prescription purple glasses and my contacts.
I'd appreciate any help with getting my belongings back. There were CCTVs present where my car was so im hoping to find this person anyway. But everything helps.
P.S. The binders are the most important thing stolen. Yes I would love to have my clothes back but the binders were gifts from my fiance who is devastated at the loss.

Anyone interested in learning to surf together? 🏄♂️🌊 (Wyndham Vale – Geelong)
Hey everyone!
I’m looking to get into surfing but have absolutely no idea where to start. 😅 I’m hoping to find some people who are also beginners and would be interested in learning together.
I’m based around Wyndham Vale and am happy to travel towards Geelong or nearby coastal areas for surfing.
I’d love some suggestions for:
* Beginner-friendly beaches and surf spots
* Affordable surf schools or lessons
* People interested in learning and going surfing together on weekends
If you’re also a beginner looking for a surfing buddy, or if you already surf and have any advice for a newbie, feel free to comment or DM me!
Would be great to meet some new people, learn a new skill, and enjoy the weekends. 🌊
Cheers!

Need a mechanic
I need a mechanic to get rid of a engine light I’m struggling to get rid of I have had my car in for rwc but it failed over small things and one of them is oxygen sensor. Replace sensor plugs and fuses still can’t get rid of it so either someone can get rid of that or even a dodgy rwc???

I've been collecting cards for a while now and I've decided to try playing the game. I understand the basics, I've played on the app but I want to attempt an in person game (after building a deck).

Tf is this rain
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
The heavy downpour significantly reduced us from seeing the freaking road, it also caused minor flooding, and some cars literally put their hazards on.
But it’s been quite some time since these type of rainfall of this intensity.

Best walking tracks within 20 min of town?
Looking to get out more on weekends without driving to the Otways every time. Done the You Yangs a few times and the Barwon River trail is decent for a flat one. What else is good close in — any hidden gems around Highton, Belmont or out Lara way?
