This review is for Isabel Almeida Beauty Therapy, Double Bay NSW

Isabel's hands are magic. I get the extraction facial with Glycolic acid and it leaves my skin feeling youthful and smooth. She is amazing with the extractions if you like that - I do as it makes my skin feel cleaner after it. While the treatments are on your face she puts her magic hands to work on giving you a shoulder and back massage. It feels so nice and relaxing. At the end of the facial Isabel puts a light treatment over your facing closing up your pours so no dirt gets in when you leave.
You look and feel very refreshed after this treatment.

This review is for Fraser Island Discovery, Noosaville QLD

We booked the day trip to Fraser Island. Pick up is very early from Noosa but worth it. They pick you up in a great looking big black 4WD mini coach with comfortable seating for the long trip. Driving along Seventy Five Mile beach was so much fun. We stopped along the way at Red Canyon for a cup of coffee and a lamington for an early morning tea.
Then past Rainbow beach where there rock formations are very colourful then onto the car Ferry to get us over to Fraser Island. Fraser Island is one of the only places in Australia where you can see pure Dingos in the wild - and we did see them. On Fraser Island you have a good Aussie BBQ for your lunch before heading back to your hotel.

Very friendly service.
Meat always very fresh and good quality with a good variety.
They are always more than happy to cut the pieces to your selected style and also cut doggies bones for you too.
The last purchase I bought was the lamb shank and they were delicious.

Great location and great food and great friendly.
We had the seafood special which was well worth the $85 (for two people). Came with a cold entree of fresh seafood. What was nice was it was prepared differently to the normal cold platter. Included a salmon carpaccio, scallops, prawns etc. The main was seafood done in a chilli tomato sauce that was a little hot but not to hot. Very flavoursome. The bread that came with the dish was also Ciabatta.
This restaurant is always busy so do suggest to book although you can be lucky and just walk-in sometimes.

This review is for Sydney Opera House, Sydney NSW

The Essential Tour is a 1 hour tour inside and outside the Opera House where you learn about the history of the Opera House and how it came to be. Very interesting for local or visitors to the city. I am a local Sydney person and found it very interesting.
Come with headsets so you can clearly hear the tour leader and ask her any questions you have.

This review is for Featherdale Wildlife Park, Doonside NSW

What a great day - for young and old.
Friendly well set out animal park where getting up close with the animals is all around you. From the minute you walk in where you see a rare albino kookaburra to hand feeding the Kangaroos and Wallabies.
The staff that do the talks on each animal throughout the day are friendly and very knowledgable.
We left wanting to come back.
Featherdale car park is not that large but they have a car park just across the street which has plenty of parking and there is a pedestrian crossing for you to walk across the road.
Public transport to hear is very easy as well.

Set in Abbotsford Rowing Club this restaurants decor is modern and update. I had the seared scollops for entree and the barramundi for mains. Both were absolutely delicious. The waiters were great and had good food and beverage knowledge as well as being friendly.

This review is for Five Dock Library, Five Dock NSW

During the school holidays the library run some great kids programs that are educational and fun for the kids. The classes are either free or have a very small charge. The kids got to take home things that they made and were very keen to participate in other classes the library ran.

This review is for Ben Nails & Beauty, Five Dock NSW

Booked in and had Ben do my nails. I have real nails so Ben recommended a product that he painted on under the nail polish that made the polish stay on for over 2 weeks without chipping. Was a little extra to get this but well worth it.
