This restaurant caught my eye when I was last in Newtown. You don't find African food everywhere! Great decor and the food is very good. Well worth a visit.

Approximate cost: $23

This is another good site for holiday bookings. I have made bookings for both here and for overseas. Also, you get a discount on subsequent bookings.

I have made a number of booking through these people and have never had any problems. You can find good deals for accomodation and also package deals.

This is a great online store. I have bought a watch from them plus numerous gifts for friends. Lots of different categories to browse through, and quick delivery.

This pub offers up very nice meals at a reasonable price. Located in an historic old building it also has lovely surroundings. Very comfortable to jsut sit and have a drink or for lunch.

I enjoy going to this cinema. It is near the station, and I have never found difficulty parking if I drive. The decor is nice, and I like the fact that they show 'different' films to the larger chains.

A good place for both adults and kids. Informative talks about the animals, so it is educational for kids. Have taken my grandkids here twice, and they have enjoyed themselves.

Approximate cost: $27

I have bought a number of products here for my wife who likes to paint. Good range, and reasonable prices.

This is a huge park and is great for just walking or having a family picnic. They have a number of themed gardens. Park on the road if you can, as I have been charged quite a bit to park inside. Gets packed on weekends.

This is a great place to take kids. Not huge, but lots to look at. Last time I was there they also had a snake education program on.

Approximate cost: $26
