I buy many books from Fishpond - always better prices than other online stores I used to use. I always order enough for free shipping. As a country dweller, quite far from the nearest bookshop I find them great for getting latest releases as well as older titles. It does take some time for books from overseas to arrive, but your card is not charged till they are actually shipped, so that's OK. (Except at the moment I am waiting on an order that was apparently held up in Yemen!! But I have been advised of this by email as well as their being a note on the "track order" page.)

Good, clean motel. The beds are comfortable, and bedding fresh. The managers are friendly and helpful. Some rooms are unrenovated and starting to date. The free wireless internet is excellent.

Approximate cost: $75

The shop is bright and attractive. Staff are helpful and friendly. The usual range of pharmacy products on offer and there are often good specials. An Amcal Chemist so you can earn points for shopping.

This restaurant is well appointed, but lacking ambience. Part of the kitchen is open to the dining area and when we were there was an obvious disagreement between two staff members in this area. I enjoyed my beef, however my partner was disappointed with his barramundi. The accompanying vegetables were cold. Definite room for improvement, but the restaurant is new.

Approximate cost: $33

Food is usually great but on occasions less so - probably not the usual chef. Service is friendly and fast. Decor and ambience fine. Very clean rest rooms.

Approximate cost: $15

Food is always excellent and great value for money, but service is sometimes poor with too few few staff, and wait time for food can be well over an hour.

Approximate cost: $18
