IN a day when telecommunications companies get bagged then I want to put a flag out for this mob. I have been a customer for about 3 yrs. I am on limited income so get great benefit out of their pre paid mobile plan for $17.95 a month for $550 credit. I have rung them 3 times in these years and yes I get off shore reception but always pleasant to deal with. I have no hesitation in recommending this telco for this service. I do not have their internet service but would like to give them ago for the cost is far better than others. Only thing is the set up costs that deter and even they are good when you have the extra cash.

Approximate cost: $17.95 pm

To meet family at the half way mark between sydney and melbourne. HA!!! I did 6 hrs plus and they did 4, although traffic getting across melbourne from the south added a bit more. We stayed in a cabin right in front of the pool. The lake was in view and it was spring. No heating in the pool so was a bit cold for the young ones. We stayed in a two bed cabin. 4 bunks and one double bed all together. Kitchen and adequate cooking facilities. Verandah to eat and view from. Path in front of cabin made it a bit noisy but not uncomfortable especially if you want to watch the kids. Very clean, affordable for that time of year and in an inland destination, I thought a lovely spot. You can find walks around the lake or hire a boat to take you around. A bit far out of town so bring your food although a shop with limited goods is on site. The lake is good viewing and the grass area or rotound provides a nice outdoor setting. Get a BIG 4 pass and save. Imagine it is cold at this time of year but liked this and would come back to do same.

Approximate cost: $120 pn

Just wanted to add that this is good for taking a loved one in a wheelchair to easily. You can sit outside and chairs can be re arranged with room to spare for that one who cannot go through the normal doorways or steps. I find the service to be honouring without pitying and in cold weather there is protection with great variety of lovely food for a nice lunch with that one who needs special care. A bit pricy in some areas but I go because I can with that loved one who needs access in a special way.

Had my daughters wedding there a year and a bit ago. Returned for a friends wedding event lately. Gosh, who ever purchased this acreage of land was prudent. The development and finish succinctly stunning. I was fortunate to not have to pay the full extent of the wedding. This is a boutique catering piece of service. 6 star but get a beautiful day and you will feel like you have gone to heaven on a carriage with angels surrounding you. You walk down a very sloping path, ( not for the disabled) to the courtyard area where you are served canopes. The grass area is courted with seats to mesmorise over the view and dream. My daughter and husband did not choose a sit down event but rather finger foods of delicacies not seen or heard of by me before. The waiting staff were more than attentive and open not snobbish and helpful. On site is accommodation. Again this is not for the plain pocket but well deserving of the rating they get. Pool spa eat in set menu service and all the extras one would expect. I think for a group of 100 then this place has all that you would want away from the brick wall city by an hour. For those who want to indulge this is it if you like the sea.

Ok so this is not an every day walk in walk out place. I love to dream about clothes for myself and my daughters and friends. As usual when you leave the big smoke you find that clothes are resourced from places that provide somthing different and depending on your taste, appealing. I like this store because there is variation in client age offerings and colour and shape and sizes. I am big and occassionally there is a range to suit me. I take my slimmer friends for a look and they are well suited by this store. I like going when there is a sale which is not often but the quality of cloth and the designs is much in line for the wear that you want for a special evening or just a dress up during a day. Not exactly for work but a good quality top or skirt can be had. The experience and professional guidance should you wish it is available because this is a business that wants ongoing business. Prices are within reason for the most but the apparell well worth the look

This is a family run store with a definite european flavour. I go this way for garden needs and like to pop in at this deli. It has fresh written on it and has access to hot bits like special spinach and fetta rolls. The variety is vast the service is knowledgable and you can select many new things if you take the time to look. Not your normal deli. Prices are market like but the real value is in the knowledge and help you get when you want to ask for help putting a table of their food together. This is a staple if you live up that way to trust and enjoy

A hidden gem. Definitely french. The pastries are light and not drowned in fat or toppings. The Shop has a few places to sit but not many. I combine this place with the bread shop around the corner for a sat morning delight. Prices are in touch with market although bigger items I feel are a bit on the expensive side. Bagels to French cream horns or just your fresh crossont this is a good pick up. Service is pleasant.

Again I returned here for a visit after many years. The position overlooking the park on a fine day is just delightful. I am sorry to report that quality of the toppings both sweet and savoury is not up to scratch for me. Had a strawberry's and cream offering and not at all pleasant. I did not try some other bits like the steaks but felt this place needs a NEW DAY for there to be some encouraging feed back

Returned to an old haunt after some years to find a rejuvinated and healthy eat in and out place. Bathurst is humming with new cafe's. The university generation is obviously spending in this area. Banjo's was always there for a hot roast beef roll with gravy for me but now the menu has upped to some steaks fish salads and wraps that are obviously filling happy stomachs. I like the service, it is central to the main shopping arena and bright and clean. Been around for many years so well done and worth a try. Not a gourmet place but prices concurr with their food offerings.

Approximate cost: $10

When you have done your two hours drive from sydney then pull in early to have a lovely little table with coffee tea and a freshly made pastry from these european folk. Pies are worthy of a try as they are different. Mince based but slightly spicy with gentle not heavy pastry. I like the sourdough large rolls for a dollar a piece or some strudel to take over the mts to the europeans on the other side. Worthy of a stop and look if not taste. Been around for over 20 yrs to my knowledge
