Worst & best suburb in Geelong, and why

[rocker_oz33]

To be honest, parking in the entire CBD is pretty ordinary, especially now they're removing more and more free parking areas.

True!
I like to park on myers st......... oh fuuu there's meters there now wft when did this happen grrrrr.

 

[rocker_oz33]

At times? Parking in Geelong is shithouse in general... and its a rort.
At least on the weekends it's free though.... thanks for 1 of a few good things Lyon

I dont go into the CBD at that much.
Again it makes people go the the malls cheaper parking.

 

[rocker_oz33]

It has always been shit
That stupid plaza just made it worse

Plaza's get it right.
its a shite set up i can see why some people dont like the geelong CBD.

If I have to go in for work (and to be honest our shop is only on Mercer St and a min away from the main drag anyway) I just go in as early as possible and try time my jobs for when there will be fewer people arond

the parking was pretty bad when i stayed in geelong for 3-4 days back in 2005 or 2006....where we were staying didnt provide parking or charged an extra $50 and all the parking around the place was metered. think we lucked in and didnt get a single ticket but were crazily moving the car around at 9am in the morning.

Smart,I can imagine it could be a nightmare to get around the place.

Parking in Geelong CBD is shocking.

It sucks working full time in the city. I just park in South Geelong and walk 10 minutes to and from work each day, as it's $9 a day if I wanted all day parking. That's $45 a week if I wanted to park in the city.

We are a regional Victorian area are we not

Holy Shit!!! Imagine that going from Moorabool down either to Kardinia park or down to the water front!!

Top of moorabool at to the Christmas tree...

 

[rocker_oz33]

Into the chrismas tree whoohooo.

 

[JUBJUB]

Where I work overlooks the tree, and every day at lunchtime there's always people walking past it taking photos of it. Regardless of whether they're locals or not, it is attracting people to the waterfront, which can only be a positive for the eateries along there.

Just what Lingy needs - more money

I'd push kids and old people out of the way to ride it!

i am sure some melbourne cbd places have $9 early bird specials for parking, so yeah, $9 in geelong is daylight robbery.

Speaking about parking.
The other day i went to park in my normal spot but no parks and no parks out on the street.
Oh there's a park it was a bit tight,as the car on my right was waay over the line.
Anywoo the car on the left was a co works car i had to go out and move it.
The co worker was going off chops saying i should'nt of parked there bah bah bah.
Me being me said you can ask me nicely to move it or i'm going back to work,and something like i did pretty well getting in there that took skill.

Nah you'd be into Lings joint on Cunningham Pier if it went down Moorabool St.
Isn't Lyon's tree at the end of Yarra St,near the Geelong Yatcht Club ?

Don't know haven't been down there yet.
If the slide went into Lingy place he would want slice of the taking.

No.

Go to the top of Moorabool St next to Beaurepaires and look down at the end of the street towards the bay. One big bloody tree sticking out.

Besides Cunningham pier is left of Moorabool st but right of Gheringhap St.

and a #MightyCats membership sounds good to me.

For those bagging the floating Xmas tree, it could be worse. Imagine these being installed up Moorabool Street.

 

[cats_09]

We could always take guidance from the Lismore Council and their Xmas tree (marginally better than the above images)

Am I the only one thinking those decorations are "dickie" ?
What a ****-up

 

[darren forssman]

Hey Birthday Boy, pix of Corio Villa

"The 157-year-old, heritage-listed Corio Villa is one of the oldest-known surviving homes of its type in Australia and is expected to sell for more than $5 million.

The grand prefabricated house sitting above the city's popular Eastern Beach was ordered by Geelong's powerful Commissioner of Crown Lands, who died before it arrived on a ship in 1856.

William Gray's untimely demise left his ornate cast-iron mansion sitting unclaimed on a wharf for six months before it was sold to someone else and erected above Corio Bay.

Once the 12 millimetre-thick metal plates were bolted together they transformed into what Heritage Victoria describes as an "ornately decorated filigree guilloche . . . patterned with unidentified foliage and roses in the shape of Scottish bluebells".

Or, put simply, a large metal home ornamented with a braid of wee highland flowers."

I remember that night well. You were like a kid in a candy shop. That was the night Billy told me his wife left him, which is why I thought you were going crazy.

Why didn't you tell me that SoG? I would have . . . er, er, er . . . well you know

Billy is an Aquarian + I'm a Libran = match made in Heaven

I wasn't going crazy, that's me being normal

Didn't we have the best night? I love LOTI after games.

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Aha, SquishyKitty ! It's all coming out now!!!
Any more little details you'd like to add, Son of God, that Kitty perhaps forgot to mention??

Strangled Cat was there too! SoG is a gentleman, you won't hear stories from him. You know the Geelong Cats commandment - what happens in Geelong stays in Geelong.
