My wife's old Sieko watch had stopped and a visit to a watch repair booth at another shopping centre gave her little hope of getting it going. The chap at Abrahams' came across as someone who had been in the game for a long time and knew what he was talking about. Her watch was returned as good and new and hasn't missed a beat since.

This is one of two florists at this small shopping centre. They are only a matter of 20 metres apart, therefore competition is high. I have bought posies and bunches of in-season flowers at both and find them both good value.

My wife and I have been regular patients of Drs C Jigau for many years. This husband and wife partnership conduct a community-type GP service and bulk bill patients.

I have shopped at other Rivers' Stores, including its outlet shops in Ballarat and Echuca. Currently, there are special rolling discount sales going on, and I have purchased a jacket, shirt and pants there at very cheap prices.

I you're wanting a cheap no-frills haircut, this is the place. The owner (Emilio) uses mainly a comb and electric cutters to give you a basic haircut in a little over 5 mins! There's never much of a wait, so you're in and out in a flash.

I first visited a display centre for advice on the best paver for my project (almost 15 square metres) and to view the size, type and colours of pavers available. I then visited the website of Austral Bricks to confirm prices and delivery pack sizes before placing an order online.

We visted the showroom and arranged for a representative to call and measure up the five windows we wanted blinds fitted to. The office receptionist was young and inexperienced. The representative that called was friendly and thorough. The serviceman that fitted the blinds seemed to be in a hurry.

There's not much that you can't find in this art and craft shop. The range and quality of the stock is very good and the staff are ready, willing and able to help with any query or provide advice.

This is the cafe to consider if you want somewhere to have lunch when you are trying to impress visitors. The menu would suit most tastes, the ambiance is refined and the atmosphere relaxed.

My wife insists on having her daily coffee fix here, unless we are at another shopping centre. I must admit that, as an infrequent coffee drinker, Sopranos rates very highly with my coffee drinking experience.
