I was riding past Auto Barn when I saw a sign advertising Shell Helix motor oil for $12.99 for 5 litres this was $10 less than at comparable stores. I stopped and bought the oil and was able to change the oil in my car that weekend. This store regularly has promotions on regularly used automotive products and the service is excelent.

Approximate cost: $13

I needed a new prescription and lenses. Dr Tan provided a good service and explained a lot about my eye condition. His staff contacted me as soon as the lenses were ready to be fitted.

Approximate cost: $135

Since my closest parts store closed I found Repco as an alternative. Their rpices are beter in many cases than their main competitors and marked down stock has some real bargains, eg Penzoil gear oil 2.5 litres $6.50. The staff are helpful and knowledgeable.

This is a specialist motorcycle shop for small Italian bikes. Ducati Benelli Moto Guzzi, MV Augusta etc. Also Brembo brake parts and small bike tyres. Phil Hitchcock the proprietor Races Ducati singles, and restores rare models.

This is a small club, patronised by locals it's location in town is the only factor that induced me to go there. Really nothing special comes to mind about this club. It has the usual gambling facilities. caters to the elderly.

This club has a very scenic view of Tuggerah Lake. The atmosphere is pleasant and the patrons well behaved. The usual TAB and poker machines are there, but one can also enjoy a drink outside in the fresh air away from such distractions.

This is by far the best motorcycle news magazine available in Australia.Thee coverage of sporting events, both local and international is excellent. Thecolumnss are entertaining and the general information and advertising is very usefull
