Obviously this is for Newcastle, Australia, since it is part of Aussie Zone. We also welcome input from adjoining Lake Macquarie. Keep it clean and don't be mean.

Yep! Glad we've got a sub now; I look forward to the latest news about loud bangs!

Loud bangs and travel suggestions for King Street Maccas

Yeap, I'm here, previously from /r/newcastle. :-) Something something loud bang in Mayfield.

Same here, I never really participated over there though, always just lurked around on Reddit. I'm taking some time to be a little more active over here and see if this takes off.

I am glad this exists. I figured the Newcastle sub might be one of the reasons I keep reddit around.

I'll never forget those loud bangs in Mayfield. and the smell of pitch.

Are we all here for the 🔊 🧨 ?

[–] Cruxil 3 points 1 year ago

I haven't heard as many loud bangs since I left Reddit...

Does western Lake Mac count as being from Newy? I wasn't getting the loud bang in Mayfield reference but a google search led me to the reddit post, which led to the realisation that despite being on reddit for 10 years I had not subbed to /r/newcastle.

Sure! I used to get some loud bangs around the peninsula growing up near Morisset too - maybe if you listen carefully you'll hear one too!

I've lived in western Lake Mac for years and we get maybe one or two loud bangs every other month. They normally happen late at night during school holidays, so I generally assume some kids have found something to blow up.

Have you left Reddit behind? Just realised you said you were on there for about 10 years.

I recently deleted my account, I never posted or commented much over there though, so I wasn't attached to the account.

I probably won't leave reddit for a while, and like you I don't post or comment much. I work in IT and I find it's often quicker to check r/sysadmin for any outages or known ~~problems~~ issues rather than rely on Microsoft or other vendors.

But with 3rd party app support going away I'll use Reddit even less. I have been using RIF for years on both phone and tablet. I've tried the official app and it's garbage and I also tried via web browser from my tablet and it was not good.
