If you are missing Melbourne and just need a little bit of a reminder, you will love this.. The only thing is there is NO SMOKE from the table beside you. The idea is great, the service is great and the coffee is fantastic and artistic. They even catter for the little ones nicely. Very comfortable setting feels a bit like your oun lounge room, ..with passerbys.. great wallart....and a cook to cater for you. Even the aroma just walking past got me so bad I had to go back..

Approximate cost: $5

Not hard to emagine a three tiered seafood treat, fresh, fried and fresh fruit. What else would you order when you are sitting watching the bay, the dolphins and water birds while on holidays. I wish I lived closer. Even IF the food I was served was average (it was very much above average), I would not have cared.. the atmosphere here is amazing. The menu is very well written, it is descriptive and consice, I wanted to try everything. Can't wait for the 3 course and seafood buffet for Christmas Day, hope it's a nice sunny day..

Very well presented, NOT dusty and cluttered.. Lots of interesting thing from various eras. Memorabilia from war times, navel things, motoring items. Lots of lovely china and ornaments, some fetching big bucks ,, they must be good... Other very affordable momentos for a holiday keepsake or practical item for the home. We asked lots of questions about 'What did they use this for?' and were gratefully answered with a valuable history lesson. Very good place to shop.

Approximate cost: $5 - $500^

New to the PCYC markets this team have delivered a wonderous array of marinated and stuffed olives along with marinated fetta and spanish smallgoods. Now I am a beliver in local produce and supporting those who grow food for us in Australia. BUT This doesn't mean I limit my self to only Aussie product.. How could you resist, if you are an OLIVE lover, get down to these markets and sample before you buy.. The fattest and greenest sicilian olives I have ever crunched on, prepared in lemon and garlic and other flavours. Kalamata olives marinated in rosmary and balsamic, all so good. I was offered some marinated fetta to sample for free, it was fantastic I wish I had have got a tub, I will be back next week. This is where I will wait to buy my olives from now on.

Approximate cost: $5 tub specials for 2 or 3 tubs

For many years I have been shopping here for great quality work clothes.. From plain jeans and coats to specialised glove and work boots. They have always offerd more than what is in store to make sure my needs are met. Not that I have had to often, but they will match a competitors price with out a problem.

Over the weeks I have been trying these unique smallgoods. They are all really good.. Stand outs are the White pepper coated salami and the Godfather salami.. I like it hot which is what you can expect from these two suggestions... BUT there are many more mild choices.. .... You are buying from the maker.. They are very passionate about the food they have created. There is always sliced salami to try.. They do move around the markets a bit but should be there most weeks.

Approximate cost: $10-15 stick

Latter I found out thet their competitors are having a sale.. I am very greatfull. Dont forget you can park out the back it is so easy..

This team has the recipe to deliver a great experiece for those that have the time and hunger for breakfast, lunch or snack on a weekday.... Every time I have been, not only am I satisfied you just need to look around to see the relaxed faces of content folks..Melissa is particular with the produce that is selected for presentation.. No soggy salads here..everything served is fresh and springgy on the plate but not too fancy and over done...Spanish toastie is just soooo good for a warm nearly winter breakfast...I bet it gets better in the colder months..Any one for coffee?? You just got to try this cafe.

This great old bush pub is so full of history and heritage.. Even if they ran out of beer you could keep your self entertained for hours discovering all the articles and items on the wall. The main theme is Dad and Dave a series of stories by author Steele Rudd. You will also find tributes to Sister Elizabeth Kenny who has a long story of her own...a pioneer in the treatment of children with Polio.
The popularity of this pub is amazing So if you are wanting to visit on a weekend or public holiday, I advise you to book...
