The best fruit and veg in Melbourne. Best quality and good prices.
The vegies and fruit actually last for a full week and dont wilt. Toscanos have been around for years and know the business. I shop there every week.

This review is for Richmond Recreation Centre, Richmond VIC

My daughter went to this school from about 18 months of age. Initially she sang songs and all was okay. But the teacher turn over was shocking so we had to break in a new teacher every term, the pool was too small and they squashed 3 classes in there at once and they didnt push the kids. I found my daughter wasnt improving because they didnt push her and they made the parents enter the water even when she turned 3. Plus their service was shocking. You thought you were booked in and they mucked up the booking etc...

This review is for Hawthorn Swimming Clinic, Hawthorn VIC

My daughter loves lessons at this swim clinic. They actually teach the kids to swim which funnily enough my last swim school (Richmond rec) didnt seem to do. They dont use floatation aids too much so kids ar forced to feel the water and actually learn to float themselves. My 3 year old is already dog paddling 5 or so metres and she has only been going 2 terms. I can highly recommend this school.

This review is for Get Wines Direct, Richmond VIC

At Get Wines Direct you can taste every single wine they have in the store. Try before you buy - great!!
Get wines direct is basically a warehouse that sells wine from various wineries. They buy wholesale, usually at the end of a season/ end of bin, so that they buy cheap and sell cheap. They have great cleanskins and great variety. Sometimes you have to be lucky to get a really really really good bargain as the fantastic deals sell out quickly. However generally speaking you can almost always get a bargain or sorts. Great place to go to stock up the wine rack and buy some great quaffas.

Cakes are simple but yummy. The prices are fantastic - definately at the lower end of the scale for great quality.
