I engaged Kent to move mostly clothes to the UK for a one year secondment. They quoted me 10 weeks but it took 14.

Everything arrived ok so the extra four weeks were just inconvenient.

I also got Kent to quote a local nice but they were a rip off. Even the boxes were twice the cost to hire than I could buy them for elsewhere.

I hada bizzi beez team come and clean my house and I could not.believe how professional they were. The oven, which I had tried to clean several times was spotless. Benches shining and the floors looked great.

They did not speak English very well bit understood what I needed and went about it in a no nonsense way.

Approximate cost: $100

Ian has been my wife's accountant for years and recently Ashley has stepped in after Ian retired. They are friendly efficiemt and very forgiving of my notes and reciept filing system.

The logement is quick and the estimate is always very close.

Highly recommended

Approximate cost: $350

Walking past this place and the fact it was always full made me think it would be a good place to go.

Decode was very dated and the seats uncomfortable. Service was quick but the dishes were very disapointing. I am usually a fan of malay cooking but there was no flavours in these dishes. My girlfriend was not impressed either.

I have read other reviews since that the dessert is very good. Perhaps I should have stayed for that but the entree and main was so dissapointing that we left right after.

Approximate cost: $20

I have had. Couple of meals here. The food was surprisingly good considering it is almost always empty and is small. Value was good too.

I had the steak each time and it came out exactly s specified.

Service was slow and the bill came out wrong but that Side a good pick for Clayton.

Approximate cost: $15

Firstly let me say that I was happy with the support of the Nurses here. I rate the service of the doctors as below par.

Firstly we asked for no monitoring during delivery. This was ignored and even the midwife said that they were not getting what they needed from the monitor. Eventually I said enough and told them that my wife would labour where she is comfortable and they would just have to cope as best as they could. Result was my wife could labour better and we had a baby within the hour.

Next the pediatrician seemed to was to constantly push formula on our baby. Sure blood diver was low but this could be fixed by breast feeding more often and topping up with expressed milk, which worked. Then there was a bit of jaundice which again lead to them recommending formula. Again frequent feeds from the breast and q lamp sorted this out. By the time we left my wife was mentally exhasted from fighting the staff to get what she wanted and what was best for the baby.

Our experience at st vincents was much better

Visited for lunch and ordered the man burger.

I would not recommend it. Not for any quality reason but nobody needs that much fat on one sitting. I may be back as other items on the menu looked ok and less likely to clog the arteries.

The fries were very nice

Athosphere is a bit gloomy and could use a bit more light or at least light surfaces to reflect the little natural light they get

Approximate cost: $15

This is a regular haunt for my little girl and her friend. The kids can have a good run around and adults can catch up. Watching my girl is easy as all she wants is my acknoledgement of what she is doing and I mostly know she is safe.

I restrict her to age appropriate activities.

Avoid this place during school holidays as some parents seem to think it is a place to dump school age children and leave them unsupervised. Management took no action when my 2 year old was afraid of entering the ball pit as some boys that looked around 10 had a ball fight in there. It broke my heart to see her disapointment.

My other gripe is that I cannot bring my own food which ups the price of the trip.

On balance these are small things when I think of the fun my daughter has here.

Approximate cost: $25 inc food

My wife has been attend here since she was a little girl.
Recently a new philosophy has taken this church and they no longer just run services but reach out to the community to assist where they can.

Recent examples was taking bread to areas that are struggling. Providing christmas gifts for African communities and Christmas hampers for residents of the local caravan park.

The programs that impress me most are the youth programs that are being run. They range in age from toddlers where it is a weekly morning activity where the kids can run and play and take part in guided activities with other little ones to the youth programs that are reaching out to teens and discussing their issues. All programs are run by locals with working with kids odd and the teen youth has a trained youth worker.

Costs are small as it is all non profit and the toddler group (mulligrubs) gives my wife a break from full on attention.

All the instructors are very good swimming instructors and have a way with kids. There are four terms a year.

Some of the instructors do follow rules for rules sake. If you firmly believe your child is ready for the next level but the instructor holds them back because if age, find anohr instructor. If you are still held back there is probably a good reason but our little one thrived in the higher class.

Facilities are food and there are parent change rooms with change tables and showers. They do get crowded at the end of class however.

Approximate cost: $170 per term
