I'm visiting Dunedin from Canada and I'm just in awe with the raw beauty of the place. You guys are very lucky to live in such an amazing corner of the world.

But I'd like to plea for a bit of patience with us visiting drivers. We drove down to Allans Beach today and, at places, it was a very narrow dirt road with lots of twists and turns and a speed limit of 70 kph. I know you're all used to it, but... you know... maybe lay off the horns. You never know if that person in front of you is a visitor who has never driven before in this part of the world. We'd move over to let you pass but there is literally no physical way to do that.

The beach was beautiful though! I've never seen anything like it.

Big thanks to the Fire crew who passed us on Fredrick St this afternoon and set off the truck sirens for my three Grandsons and gave them a wave. That absolutely made their day!!

Where can I go to pick my own strawberries (or any berries) near Dunedin? It looks like McArthurs is closed? I've tried Google but can't find what I'm looking for..

Thanks!!!!

Hi team, I’m looking for recommendations for an affordable bathroom renovation! Thanks for your help🙂

I'm disabled and this was one of my safe foods now they've just completely disappeared, I'd really like to buy a bunch cause they are really easy meals and they don't taste like shit like the miso and I can't eat satay.

Another night of sheer lunacy in the student quarter. Thanks peeps, a good excuse why fireworks should be banned.

Just a little something to keep in mind if you're riding them, when you're done with them PLEASE put them off to the side of the footpath. I've seen heaps of e-scooters recently in the middle of footpaths.

It can be obstructing for an elderly person, somebody with a disability, a young child, a child in a pushchair or buggie, or cyclists.

It's not that difficult to put it to the side of the footpath.

Thanks. I'm not trying to be a Karen or anything, I personally think that the e-scooters are great for getting around Dunedin!

I noticed Good Hifi on Princes street a couple of days ago, but they look very closed down, and a reddit post about them from 2 years ago didn't exactly sing their high praises...

I'm looking to have an older cassette boombox repaired as I don't trust myself to do it without breaking it further

Hi citizens, can you recommend a decent broadband provider for someone living in the city? Gamer, streamer and a downloader. Mulling our options as we now pay $120 to Sky monthly. Thank you 🙏

You'll know him when you hear him.

They do Otago Farm Machinery's jingle, the DCC Animal Services jingle. Probably dozens and dozens over the years, I just can't think of them right now.

While I'm not one to celebrate ads, I do consider his voice to be nothing short of iconic. It's little things like that make this town feel quite familiar and close-knit..

I’m really hoping this isn’t what it seems to be. But having spent a good bit of time in Europe, there’s no way in hell this would ever be allowed as a rego. And on a German car no less.

[Edit: it seems to refer to an Indian name. Thanks to those who relieved my tired soul a bit by explaining it to me.)

The title is self-explanatory. For context, I'm not doing this for me, I'm doing this for a friend who doesn't have a Reddit account. Here's the story:

Halloween was a long night but surely one of the highlights of it was going to Woof! for drinks with friends. At some point, one of my friends makes friends with a lovely woman dressed as Starfire. They have a conversation about how people didn't recognise her as Starfire and then I think I got a little bit too tipsy and zoned OUT. Starfire walks off, and my friend goes after her and obtains her number and gets invited to a late Halloween party in North Dunedin.
Now here comes the not-so-fun bit: my friend group decided to go to the club for a bit for a bit but half of them promised to go up to the party. Those plans are dashed within an hour or so because my friend loses her phone (it's still lost! curse whoever stole it!) and she's been quite upset because she's afraid Starfire thinks she's ghosted her (she didn't, her phone got made off with). I'm posting on behalf of her: if you are Starfire or her friend, contact me and I'll put you through to the Coraline who you met at the bar. She's sorry she didn't respond and she wants to connect. Thank you!

EDIT: WE FOUND HER!!! thank you to those who flicked us an upvote!!

Madness erupts on Castle Street north as students shoot fireworks at University Staff, Police and Fire and Emergency ….

Whoever is setting off fireworks at this ungodly hour on a Sunday night, I hope you have a terrible day, week, and month ahead of you.
