How do you avoid drilling into wires?

We use a stud-and-services finder before drilling and follow standard wiring layout assumptions.

Randwick context

What picture & mirror hanging looks like in Randwick

Victorian terraces along Belmore, Avoca, and Alison have original picture rails — most light-and-medium hangs use brass S-hooks from the rail. Heavier mirrors get chemical anchors into the sandstock party walls or stud-located through-fixings. The '60s flats around the racecourse have solid-brick external walls and steel-stud partitions; we toggle or anchor to suit. Family homes south of Alison Road typically have engineered timber stud framing — predictable and consistent.
