Ever had to find a shoe repairer in Brisbane or fancied a pizza in Hobart? Perhaps you’ve needed a local Melbourne plumber in an emergency.

From lifestyle to health and beauty, white-collar to blue-collar, we get all kinds of searches on TrueLocal.com.au. 

Some of the more popular searches on our site cover things that feature in your day-to-day activities, like finding a venue for a night out, or perhaps an annual chore such as requiring an accountant for your tax returns or a mechanic to get your green slip.

  • Although you didn’t mention it, I heartily recommend you visit the multi-screen video installation by AES+F, a Moscow Collective showing on Cockatoo Island in a building on the very far side of the island. I was transported, enchanted and blown away by it. I am a jaded oldie . . so it takes a lot. Firstly it is technical perfection and the film content is a strange fusion of a mannered history genre painting, fashion mags and tourist hype. It is like standing in a modern version of a hyper-digitised renaissance painting. Encroyable I say.

  • For goodness’ sake. A bunch of flowers delivered from a florist these days can cost a small fortune. It may be old hat but that with a card is till appreciated even if it is not zany or off beat.
