This review is for Museum of Old & New Art (MONA), Glebe TAS

verified email - 17 Oct 2012

I've been to MONA (or the Museum of Old and New Art) quite a few times, and as a Tasmanian resident, I received free entry.

Albeit controversial, the museum is pretty awesome.
There are 3 underground levels, and a shop at ground level.
You are given an iPod with a custom application that uses location services to track your location within the museum, this information is used to display information on exhibits nearby, as well as information on the exhibits right around you.

Ensure you make sure you have a lot of time, there are hidden exhibits all around the place!

There is a reasonable car park on site, however if you don't feel like travelling out to Berridale, you can always catch a bus, taxi, or even better, the boat from the dock in Hobart's CBD.

Exhibits change regularly, however they publish these changes on their website, so you can use that to see if there are any new major pieces.

An important note for parents, the third level down has adult content.

Just went there to get my a haircut, awesome service, did a fantastic job, and all for $23, you can't complain with that.

No appointments or messing about, people are friendly, just excellent.

Approximate cost: $23

This review is for Federation Chocolate, Taranna TAS

These guys don't make bars of chocolate, they make bars of awesome!

If you can get down there, make sure you check this place out, their chocolate is hand made in their own little factory and it's just awesome.

Samples are available, so make sure you try them all!

If you can't get down to Taranna, they do have a stall at the Salamanca Markets on Saturdays, so ensure you visit them there!

Approximate cost: $5

This review is for Cooper Automotive, Hobart TAS

I have been using Cooper Automotive for quite some time for general service and repairs of my vehicle, they always offer great, honest service, with a really good attitude.

They'll pick you up and drop you off at work if you need it, wash your car, and generally provide a good service.

I would definitely recommend them in the future.

The staff, at least for me, are usually pretty good, the chips and yankee burger are pretty good, as well as the gravy.

I also like their potato bake, though no longer bother with their refrigerated salads.

Certainly a good place to go for a quick snack, lunch, or dinner.

While there is always room for improvement, this place is fantastic.

I have been coming here for a little while now, ever since it was recommended to me by a friend, and have found the service to be great, staff friendly, and product and prices absolutely awesome.

Don't even bother going to your local shopping centre, come here first!

This review is for KFC, Derwent Park TAS

Generally they're 'OK', however from my experience, don't bother asking for extra salt on your chips, the only time I've ever had salt on my chips is when I haven't asked for extra salt, it seems if you ask for it, they neglect it entirely.

In some instances, things are overcooked, however it's usually okay.

I don't tend to eat much here any more, however.

This review is for Praties, Derwent Park TAS

I come here quite a bit when I have cash, and would probably come more if they accepted other payment methods, that in it's self is disappointing. Their customer service is pretty good, they are certainly efficient, and their product, while simple, is awesome.

I would definitely recommend them to others.

Approximate cost: $9.50

This review is for Chish & Fips, Derwent Park TAS

I have been here quite a few times in the past, and the fish & chips are generally quite good. I have never had much of a delay. They are certainly more focused at the individual portion end of the scale, with pretty much everything coming in packs, but it's still pretty good.

This review is for McDonalds, Moonah TAS

verified email - 16 Oct 2012

Where to start with this one, their customer service certainly leaves significant room for improvement.

I generally wouldn't categorise the product from McDonalds as 'food', none the less there appears to be no care or pride in the presentation of their products, slopped together in a hurry to get you out of the line.

On the up side, the people there are generally friendly.

I would probably only come back here as a 'last resort'.
