Can i get a tattoo at 17 in NSW?

(pic added for attention) if this isnt the right place to ask this please let me know where i should post instead so for my 18th birthday, my mother was going to take me to sydney to be tattooed by this woman who does beautiful hand poked tattoos. i had my design picked out (drawn by her) but she just told me she goes back to korea on february 3rd (i turn 18 march 6) 😭😭 i asked if she would tattoo me with parental permission and she said she would ask her tattoo studio in the morning when they open, but i cant wait that long. does anyone know?

I'm pretty sure I found this in my garage... What do I do? (Critically endangered)

I'm pretty certain I've just found one of these in my garage and I ended up hiding from it as it looked pretty menacing. It crawled into a bunch of junk and storage on the floor but I'm not sure what more I should do. It's critically endangered according to Google, unfortunately I feel like I can't stomp this thing so is there any 'Tree Lobster' experts who can help? Also is there anything that looks similar but could be mistaken for one of these? (Found Wollongong, NSW)

I'm visiting Australia next month for the first time in 18 years. Is my leftover currency still valid?

I'm from the UK and we have had all new notes and one or two new coins since then - wondered if it's worth bringing this with me!

Visiting from California - I’m a huge fan of the local art!

What is this and should I worry if I’ve been stung?

Cheeky visitor

Found this little guy scoping out my back door the other day. He finally waddled away back into the garden. He’s been around for years and I always leave water out for him and sometimes some bits of fruit.

Chicken schnitzel at the Coolum slsc

Went there for lunch as i was in the area and ordered the schnitzel like I usually do at rsl’s and slsc’s but this is pathetic for 20$, at other slsc’s 20$ will get you a large sized parmi but this is just taking the piss. Anyone know why this is just in the Coolum area?
