All purchases I have made on ebay have been really worthwhile. I guess you take the chance when trusting someone else to deliver your goods quickly and in good condition, but all purchases I have made have been fine. Some great bargains to be had and a huge range to goods to choose from.

Avon is a trusted name that has been around as long as I can remember. convenient in that you can shop from a catalogue. I have always found the products to be good quality at reasonable prices.

Enjoyed some really nice food here for lunch when my parents came to visit us. Food was quite up market and lovely when it finally arrived. Not very impressed with the service on the day we went. It took about 15 minutes for someone to approach us to let us know where we could sit. The meals took a long time to be served also.

Have purchased take away dinners from here a few times since moving to the area. Food is always well cooked and tasty. Girls who work there are always friendly and prices are fairly average when comparing to other fish and chip shops.

I have travelled with Virgin Airlines several times and always found their staff to be quite helpful and friendly. I guess you never like the squishy seats and lack of leg room, but when you get cheap flights I guess you can't be choosy. I think access to the onboard televisions / movies should be included as part of the cost of flying rather than an extra. I can understand the food being extra if you want it, but the screens are all there anyway and I imagine don't cost anymore to use. They have daily flights from Townsville back to my home city of Sydney which is great as there are always many flights to choose from. Happy hour on their website is also a great thing for picking up a bargain flight.

I took my son to the Barra Farm fishing a few months ago. I thought the farm was quite well set up with an option to fish for smaller fish in one pond or larger fish in another. It was quite a fun experience for kids as they have a pet pig that wonders around pinching your bait out of your bucket if your not watching him carefully. You pay by the hour which suited well with little kids as they have a short attention span. Overall it was a fun time for a reasonable price.

My husband and I have been banking and have had our mortgage with ANZ bank for around 9 years. During this time we have mostly dealt with the Darwin Branch's in the NT as we relocated from there approx 1 year ago. During our time with them they have been extremely helpful and always reachable to discuss mortgage changes details etc.. in detail. They have always shown us different methods and options when it comes to term deposits, mortgage and savings etc.. but always made us feel they were recommending the best option. Paul Trigwell and Cain Parkin from the Darwin branch were particularly helpful with assisting us during our move to Qld with regard to the selling of our NT property and purchase of QLD property going out of their way to be available to answer any questions we had at any time and assist in the smooth transition for the financial matters.

We recently visited Australia Zoo on a family holiday to the Gold and Sunshine Coast. I had been there a few years earlier and was glad to see that the great standard of the place and not dropped. Although it is a little costly, it was cheaper in comparison to other theme parks on the gold coast and as the money goes to looking after the animals I had no qualms with paying the entry fee. Every animal enclosure at the Zoo is spacious, the food the animals ate was fresh and the whole park was immaculate. You could not smell the familiar smell in animal parks of animal poo etc... They must clean the enclosures regularly as they are just fantastic and well worth a visit.

My husband and I took our 2 children to SeaWorld a couple of weeks ago on a family holiday. I had been there several times before, the last time being around 2001. I found that the maintenance and service around the park seems to have declined over time. You are no longer able to take your own food into the park and have to buy it there. It is extremely expensive to buy lunch there and service at the eateries leave a lot to be desired. There were not enough people serving to accomodate the amount of patrons and the ones that were there, showed no urgency what so ever in getting customers served quickly. However, the kids did really enjoy the dolphin and seal shows which is what made the day worthwhile and I guess there is no price you can put on seeing your kids squeal with delight!

I currently use Unique Unicorns for my Son who is 4 years old. I have found the centre to be always clean, organised and a happy place for the kids to be. Leanne the owner/director is extremely approachable and comes across as a genuine person who cares for every child at the centre. My son has been in 2 of the rooms at the centre and has enjoyed spending time with all the carers (though he has taken a particular shine to "Miss Sarah"). My youngest is due to start daycare next year when I return to work and given my experience with this centre up to now, I am completely at ease with leaving him in their caring and capable hands.
