Mossman Gorge is a must visit destination when in FNQ and the new centre makes it worthy of a day's visit.
There is a great carpark, easy walkways and shuttle bus to take you into the rainforest.
Everything is being done here to protect the environment and engage and employ locals with expert knowledge.

Remember your bathers as swimming in the gorge is a must and take the time to take a tour, explore the art gallery and enjoy a coffee in cafe.

We visited as a large group (16 of us) and there was no problem getting around.

A beautiful location and kids and adults all got something out of the day.

I decided on this dentist/business as a direct result of family recommendations and the reviews on WOMO as we are new to Melbourne and the area.
Dr Halkyard and the assistants at the front desk were wonderful.
Very friendly, kind and welcoming. This was particularly important as the checkup was for my two young daughters.
Dr Halkyard was engaging with the girls and explained everything that he was doing to make them feel very comfortable and safe.

Bright and spacious waiting room, easy enough to get a park out the front and a 'hicaps' machine to enable you to claim direct from your health insurance fund.

Great Service all round!

'Yinga's' is a bit of an Adelaide institution.
Food is fantastic!!!!! It really is.

The restaurant has a vibrant positive atmosphere and it is a great spot for a shared meal with friends.

Service is not great.....just a bit 'meh' as opposed to bad or rude but I find it doesn't really impact on the experience.

You will often need to wait for a table as it is a small spot and always busy but it's worth it.
Don't even think about trying to fit a pusher inside though. However there are outside tables if the weather is kind.

Great spot to eat if heading out for a show or combined with a Central Market shop.

Approximate cost: $15-$20

A solid 'cheap' eats.
Quick service, good lunch/dinner specials and reasonable service.
I do think they are not as good as they used to be however you get what you pay for I guess.

A good meal option at TTP whilst shopping, heading to the movies.

Great restaurant in China Town.

Excellent dumplings and noodle soups.
As other reviewers have mentioned you certainly don't get 'great' service but they are far from rude so it doesn't really impact on the dining experience in my opinion.

We visited on Chinese New Year and it was packed...even then we only had to wait about 15 minutes for a table (for 7 of us)

15/16 dumplings on a plate for only $6.80 or $7.50 and they are good!! Plenty of options on the menu aside from dumplings. We also had the Pancake with spring onions (Shallot Pancake) and it was one of the best I'd had.

Great experience if you're looking for reasonably priced authentic asian.

Approximate cost: $7 - $12

A fantastic service that takes the confusion and pain out of comparing health insurance.
Easy to enter your specifics/what you are looking for and there are a number of filters to help you look at the best options for you. (ie - cheapest/mid range/best benefits etc)

You can sign up there and then or print and have a think about stuff.

A really great service that I can't recomend enough!

Great forum with a stack of information!
Things can get a little narky but I think that's just the on-line world.

The site offers a range of information around pregnancy, birth and parenting (all different ages, single/same-sex) as you would expect but also has discussions around health, grief and loss, education, working, product reviews, games...etc etc......

A really excellent resource for anyone I think. I have been a member for years!

Approximate cost: $free

As a 'chain' I find the service, price and products to be appropriate. It is not great but it's not a boutique salon!

I used to get waxed there regulary when I worked in the city as it was suitable to my time committments and budget.

They do rush you a bit and it does hurt??!! (I assume that's just the deal with bikini waxing though)
But it is clean and mostly professional. I would visit there again should I have the need.

Approximate cost: $20

As far an energy companies go I found Origin to be ok.
I think they are in a tough market and no one is going to say that they are fabulous when they are having to pay through the nose for utilities.

That said, I personally had no issues with Origin. I always received my bills, had the meter read as required, found them flexible with payment extensions and helpful whenever I had to phone them.

I am now with an other provider, having moved states, but I would certainly sign up with them again should they be on offer/competitive.

Good sized Asian Grocer in Templestowe.
Easy parking across the road.

Has a great range of dry grocery items and an extensive freezer section. The veg spring rolls are delicious!

The fresh veg section was a little disapointing?? I am wondering if it was due to the time of day/week I was there , so I will be experimenting with different times.

Reasonably priced and the lady working there was friendly and helpful.

Also stocks newspapers and cooking items and utensils.
Pretty much anything you would expect to find at an Asian grocer.
