We called the local poolwerx franchise in and they were exemplary, it was an emergency, and their people were more than willing to help. They may not be the cheapest in the business, but they just might offer the best service and knowledge around, so I will use them again.

We have been with Keyplay for years. They are brilliant for dealing with property or small business, and offer a comprehensive service. Jamie (the owner) is very accessible, and really looks after his clients well. You would find it hard to deal with a better accounting and business firm. For us it is a successful long-term relationship.

We rented our investment properties through this company, and their service levels were poor. We moved to another agent in Ballarat, and they have had the properties for a couple of years now and are doing a great job with communication and maintenance. We would not recommend Ballarat Real Estate, the standards are poor in rentals.

We had our kids go through this centre for swimming, and found all teachers well-qualified and friendly. There is a problem when you graduate levels, not so much guidance and the Aquagard program is disorganised. Great gym facilities, and gymnastics centre, though again, if you to a high level you go elsewhere. So, a fantastic general ability environment, not specialist environment. In terms of facilities very clean, fantastic choice of swimming pools, you can't go wrong.

Ebay is a great concept, and fantastic, unless you are dealing with a dodgy seller. Then they cancel the transaction, even if you've paid, and tell you the person is no longer verified...this can be a real problem, unless you paid with paypal. Otherwise, ebay is fantastic for facilitating transactions that are low cost and low hassle.

Approximate cost: $Lots and lots...

I give all the parks top marks because there is no better entertainment for our kids. They love nothing better than a day out at movieworld. There is a great mix of rides for everyone from very young to very old, and there is nothing like the street parade, I could reach out and touch Batman anytime I see him in this parade, and have at times had to be restrained. Movieworld is all about the parents, not just the kids! My kids favourite is still the Scoobydoo ride, which we can enjoy as a family. I think movieworld is good value when part of the 3 park pass, and a place I think everyone should experience.

This is a brilliant park, it has all the rides you'd ever want, only thing is it can get mega crowded when hot. If crowds are an issue, then maybe the smaller water park is an option as it seems to get fewer people, but that may be only my experience of things. If you ask the kids, it is hard to go past Wet n Wild for fun, especially when part of the VIP 3 park pass, so you get a lot of value with unlimited entry, and they don't get bored of this park, there's a LOT of wild water rides to choose from.

This is not as good as Wet'n'Wild, only because it is smaller, but it is better value because you can get the pass and go to Dreamworld as well. It still has all the same kinds of rides, and I prefer it as there is less running around, and sometimes is less crowded. Any water park is great, there is no fun like water fun.

If you get season passes, this place is the bomb! Even if you don't, it is the best place to take kids, and the pick of the theme parks, if you can only pick one. It is worth the money for the value and variety of rides, and satisfies the whole family's tastes.

Keep coming back to this site, it is my staple go-to site for anything buying, renting, checking prices, etc., finding agents, everything.
