Mystery Monday - C'Mon Feel The Noise....How Do You Deal With It?

Naughty Noise Makers And What Should I Do?


Well, we all have those scenarios with anything from the irritating idiot with the leaf blower that seems to go for 8 hours on a Sunday to the neighbors who wanna Rock And Roll all Night and Party Every Day, as Kiss would say.




We even used to have neighbours who's fights used to comprise of him ripping the security gate from the front of his property with his bare hands when locked out by the wife, and starting up a chainsaw at 2 am to gain access - no joke, and it wasn't "Spittle County" either - affluent neighbourhood....bags not confronting HIM!

Bearing in mind that once you start something with a neighbour (work or home) it can get really unattractive very fast, so think long and hard about how to complain about dear little "Precious" who barks from the second Mummy leaves for work to the second she gets home and then dons his halo....who knows, maybe our own pets do the same thing when we are out? Eek!

Sometimes the direct approach works and other times it becomes WW III and you live in horror until someone sells....the mere thought of Precious wearing one of those citronella collars, you philistines!

The link below at least gives you a place to start, so have a hunt around and then make your decision - should we speak, forever hold our peace, or dob anonymously....neither feels great, but at least you can make the decision with as much information at your finger tips as possible!

Monday Mystery - What Became Of The Dump???

The Local Dump - An Ancient Tradition Lost


Remember when you were a kid, and no weekend was complete without a trip to the dump - even the dog was invited....

Many a trip ended up ensuring that you had yet another tetanus booster shot after you ignored your parents and scampered barefoot straight onto a rusty nail or some piece of galvo...

Frankly I miss every stinky little bit of it, and the TREASURES! Oh, and it was FREE!!!!!

In today's world of control, greed and fake recycling, I thought it might be nice to provide the link below so that you don't get your hopes up next trip....they even have a carefully hand selected shop on the side so that we can go in and buy other people's rubbish (I will be checking this out regardless of my bitterness - always the hypocrite ha)!

God knows better that the council makes a buck selling it back than the little guy sells it on Gumtree and makes a profit towards his ever-swelling electricity bill!

Anyhow, at least the site below takes you through locations, rules, regulations, times, "markets", appropriate footwear (we fooled the gestapo a couple of weeks ago and daringly wore thongs to drop of something in the "cardboard" bin)....probably captured on camera with court-case pending.

Hope you enjoy the photo below - I would be taking that TV home for sure to convert into a fish tank if it wasn't going to end up selling for $1 mil at the local tip shop! Here's to having a giggle even if it's a load of rubbish!

Mystery Mondays - Majestic Theater Pomona

Mystery Mondays - Majestic Theater Pomona

Haunted or are its bones just still settling after 94 years.....you decide!

Article attached - click on image.

I remember a school excursion to this beautiful old lady to see a silent movie, and was in awe of the amazing atmosphere - highly recommend this as a day trip or you can stay overnight at the Pomona Pub if you are tough enough to "hack it" ha! I sure was a couple of years ago - love a country pub - the more basic the better - more adventurous!

Don't mind saying that real estate has gone crazy in some of these gorgeous sidings over the last few years either.

Mystery Mondays - The Buderim Beast

The Buderim Beast

This is a great mystery that comes up from time to time....well documented sightings in various yards and even the local Buderim Falls. There is a lot of speculation about the Buderim Beast, and if you google it, you will see that when the Sunshine Coast Daily featured it, 36% of voters believe it to be a Thylacine (Tasmanian Devil - now extinct).

Naturally this gets people pretty excited (most of us just WANT to believe it of course - still getting over Santa not being real, sob), but the fun part is not just the online research, but looking for it every time you step out in the bush around Buderim! Hikers beware........
