nook – Your Word On The Street

nook is a new place on the street. It’s a place where you get to meet those in the neighbourhood and join a collection of streaming conversations by the people who know your area best – locals.

At nook everyone has a voice – speak up and share what you will with others.

Local Community

nook is a community with a heart in the suburbs of Melbourne. Your suburb.
This is the place to find out what’s hot and what’s not in your neck of the woods. See who’s nearby and read what they’re talking about. Have your say on your neighbourhood. Share your experiences with people who live just around the corner.

10 Essentials

Whenever you publish content with nook’s instant publishing process, you will get to choose any one of the 10 essential categories to publish it under.

Search by Suburb

Find out what’s happening in and around any suburb by doing a Suburb search. This feature allows you to sort all the content in nook based on proximity. So, whether you’re interested in nightlife reviews in or close to South Yarra, or Kids Stuff in and around Preston, nook allows you to find it.

Instant Publishing

Now you can publish your voice in an instant. Once you have registered, you can start creating content and publish it to the nook community (and the rest of the world) by following some simple steps. It’s easy and it’s fun.

Reviews
Have you been to a great restaurant lately that you want to tell people about? What about the great service you received at the local health and beauty centre? Share your experiences and spread the word. If you’re looking to try a particular business or service in your area, see what others have had to say first.

Questions
Got a question you need an answer on? Well, ask someone nearby – they probably know the answer. What’s that new hairdresser like? Who is the new principal at the local school? What is the council doing about that run-down park at the end of the street?

Posts
Write about whatever is on your mind. Update us all about your cat. Chat away about those damn tram inspectors. Upload photos you have taken of your favourite places in town.
