🎂🚉 Happy 19th birthday to Marshall station, opened 26th April 2005.
It's good to see the second platform nearing completion - this will allow more frequent train services, which will be very welcome.
Bike Route Buddy's great video of some Geelong examples of the intentionally sabotaged bike lanes that make up the majority of bike lanes in Victoria.
'Car door death-zone' bike lanes that encourage drivers to illegally close pass are worse than no bike lanes at all.
I quite often get emails from musicians, usually ones I know or ones who are starting off.
So receiving a direct email was hardly a surprise, except that sender was not only an established musician from the USA, but an experienced actor, Abigail Killmeier, with quite a TV and film history, appearing in “Fantasy Football” and “This is Us”.
She releases music under the name, Abigail Fierce and her music is available on all streaming platforms.
Abigail is an extremely talented musician and singer-songwriter.
Abigail writes all of her own music, and plays all of the instruments on her songs, except for drums. She's working on learning the drums.
She plays acoustic and electric guitar, bass, ukulele, and piano, but her most unique talent lies in her poetic, visceral, often poignant, songwriting.
She has over 4 million total streams on Spotify, under her artist name "Abigail Fierce."
The question I have when reading this article is "why are they shipping staff from Melbourne when #Geelong has a large unemployed workforce?" I wonder if Only Hospitality has other venues around Geelong, and the "housed" staff work at multiple venues?
Speaking of Uber, I just took a short trip within Geelong and the driver was a delightful bloke from Afghanistan. Has been here for years, came by boat as an asylum seeker originally. Loves living in Geelong.
I enjoy using Uber in regional cities for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it seems to be a viable full-time job in the country, so the drivers enjoy their work more. Secondly, there's usually not some distant airport that they're all obsessed with driving to, so they expect to do lots of short trips and don’t mind that.
Good morning from Geelong! The new Holiday Inn & Suites here has some elevation, on Ryrie Street. Could probably see the Spirit of Tasmania ferry pass by from here.
Since 1976, I have been involved with #CommunityRadio, initially with 7CAE-FM in #Hobart#Tasmania, but I am now based out of #Geelong on 94.7 the Pulse with a show called Tempo, where I play such a random selection of music that the show is tagged as "guaranteed to have one track you'll hate."
