My phone went completely dead while under warranty and under contract. Vodafone happily upgraded me to a better phone but the network coverage is so poor where I live that it was really useless to stay with them. Luckily they had a 30 day network coverage guarantee so I was able to make the new contract null and void inside the first 30 days due to network dissatisfaction. To do this I had to make 3 or 4 visits to a Vodafone store to finally see an end to my contract....including changing the Sim card in case it was faulty and various other troubleshooting techniques. At my wit's end I was finally 'permitted' to exit the contract after 40 mins on the phone with someone in India and had to be very firm to insist on not being charged for exiting a contract for a device that did not ever work for me in the first place. All I can say is....what a rigmarole they put me through for their inefficient network issues.

OK That's it...we have found ourselves a regular mechanic we can rely on and trust. The service here is excellent, no pushy sales suggestions, just good 'ol get the job done right attitude. Paid about $540 for rear disc brake service, 2 new tyres and wheel alignment on my husband's Kia. Highly recommended.

Just happened upon this store today. It's a spacious, large cool store with a huge selection of ladies shoes at reasonable prices including some Italian labels, fancy heels, shoes for small or wide feet and shoes to suit all age groups aswell, even comfortable soft leather flats for elderly ladies. The staff are extremely pleasant and helpful too. Parking available in the rear. I will definitely return.

Didn't get the service I was hoping for here. It took a long time to be served and after rummaging through boxes myself looking for sizes on back to school shoes I was told that "what's there is what's there, sorry" The store was not busy at all and better trained staff would be advisable for them to stay in business. Limited parking spaces on busy Stafford Rd out front.

I couldn't believe how great the service was here. I am sick of buying cheap school shoes that don't last from the larger stores so thought I'd invest a little more this year and get my 5 yr old son's foot fitted properly. I was served by Sara who was friendly, attentive and most importantly, she knew a lot about the shoes she was fitting too. She measured the length of his feet and also the pressure of his weight and offered low, mid and high priced choices for us to try and compare. We weren't rushed or ignored like most other shoe stores we'd visited today. I will go back again for sure.

The Brisbane City Council has done a fine job in improving the foreshore of the Brisbane River since the 2011 floods. A shady bike path stretches alongside Coronation Drive from the city right out to Toowong and it is well signed with occasional seats and drinking fountains too. It is a pleasant, breezy place to exercise or use to commute to the city...either on foot, rollerblades or bicycle. A word of warning though. It can be extremely busy at certain times with very fast cyclists whizzing by and I strongly advise against taking young children out there on scooters who are inexperienced and not quick enough to get out of the way in time! Accidents will happen. I'd suggest that cyclists ring a bell or sound a horn to make pedestrians aware of their approach. More free car parking bays on Coronation Drive would be welcomed too.

Approximate cost: $Free

I must commend this store for their high quality produce on fresh looking displays. Definitely inspirational when thinking of things to cook when you get home. If I lived closer I'd come to this store more often. Great range including prepackaged deli items, fresh pasta and pizza bases plus a variety of imported groceries too. The service was friendly, the store is clean, plenty of parking and they'll take your box load out to the car which is always appreciated in my book.

Took a foreign guest here to buy some Australian souvenirs and I was impressed with the huge range of items! No matter what your budget, you'll find something here. Tiny things like shot glasses, stationery and keyrings to T-shirts, games, luggage, a nice range of quality ugg boots and animal hides right up to authentic Aboriginal products such as didgeridoos and boomerangs. There is even an art gallery upstairs. The staff were friendly and helpful but be mindful of the hard sell tactics they try with a smile. Prices were excellent.

I haven't been here for years and thought I'd pop in for a short stack of pancakes today to relive some old memories. The pancakes were light and fluffy and I loved the whipped butter on top. Good cappuccino too. Moderately priced I thought. Didn't realise they had so many savoury options on the menu including nachos, salads and even steak. The only thing to gripe about today was the jug and glasses of water we requested...they really need to update their cups as they were so old and yucky. Other than that, it's open 24 hours and the church atmosphere is still intriguing.

During the school holidays it cost us $38 for a family of four deal. You can also receive a free ticket when you sign up for the Hoyts rewards card.

Love this cinema....it's conveniently located right near the food court in case you're needing a meal with your movie.

Both the nearby Fasta Pasta restaurant and Beach House Bar & Grill offer movie meal deals too. The cinemas are well organised with a few arcade games in the foyer and there's free parking right outside.
