Wow! Real Cider and Perry (what is often marketed as Pear Cider). A little family run cidery just out of Harcourt makes the best cider I have ever tasted. They offer tastings of their selection that changes depending on the season and consists of about 10 different drinks. I thoroughly recommend getting one of their delicious cheese platters and enjoying a summer afternoon or evening on the deck in front of the duck pond. One of the most relaxing and enjoyable experiences you can have and the staff are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about what they do. If your their at the right time of the year (just after harvest) you can even grab yourself a fresh apple straight from the tree and believe me they taste nothing like the apples you get from the supermarket. I miss real apples.

A great little Irish Pub (and function centre) just acrross the road from the Norwood Footy Club has a cool traditional irish feel about it. They have live music most weekends and $6 pints (imperial!) quite often too. The menu changes by the season but is traditional pub fair and usually quite good. The pub section is decked out with lots of Irish memorabilia, from sports equipment to musical instruments and has a real small town pub atmosphere that really relaxes you.

Redbull mobile have just started operating in Australia (late 2011) and I found they offer very competitive plans. I purchased a years coverage (they use Vodafones network which I have not had a problem with) for a dollar a day with a phone for an extra dollar outright. I haven't been able to fault the service after 4 months use with helpful support staff and an easy to use website for managing your account and recharging (if you choose the prepaid version like me). They also offer some fantastic competitions such as a trip to the Formula one in Melbourne looked after by Red Bull Australia in their corporate hospitality suite which I was lucky enough to win this year. For the money I paid they provide unlimited calls and sms's within Australia to pretty much any phone and a genourous pack of monthly data (5gb a month) that has kept me extremely happy

Stayed on the top floor with a balcony overlooking Albert Park during the Formula One. Could see the whole track from my bed. Great location. Staff were very friendly and helpful and looked after us extremely well. Two great restaurants (French and Italian) rounded off a fantastic stay and would recommend to anyone wanting a great view and a little luxury. The hotel has an Artist theme, with paintings and artwork celebrating Aussie artist Charles Blackman's career work.

Got a fantastic deal on a mountain bike from these guys. A small fronted shop on busy Rundle street (with a bike rack out the front) They have a good range of all types of bikes (racers, touring, mountain, bmx and kids bikes) and can service your bike as well as provide almost any parts and accessories their are.

Lots of great quality boots and clothes for outdoor workers, aimed at country people, and those that work with horses and on farms. Huge range of work boots and shoes and their specials are quite good.

Ordered and picked up three large pizzas. They also deliver. I found that their pizzas were much better than what you would get at a large chain store, and they also have a big range of extras from seafood to chicken, salads to ribs.

Approximate cost: $8.50

One of the best wedding photographers in Adelaide. Personalized service, and fantastic results. A small but friendly group of staff members provide good ideas and can even touch up your photos to make everything look perfect.

As the name suggests they repair electrical goods, especially tv's and are very cheap. Were able to repair my tv for 30 bucks, and saved me hundreds i would have spent on a new tv, and managed to keep my reliable 25 year old one instead

Run by cycling champion and tour down under race director mike turtur, a great place for advice for beginners through to pros. Not a huge range but all seem to be quality bikes at good prices.
