Supplier for all your sand and gravel needs for aquariums and ponds. If you keep reptiles , amphibians or fish this is the place to get your supplies. This is where the pet stores get there gravel and sell it in smaller bags to you , at a highly inflated price. This is a one man operation , so he is very busy. Make sure you call to arrange a time to go around. If you just turn up he is highly likely to be on a delivery. He is also a carer to his wife , so the times vary. Don't be put off by this , because he can be very flexible with his time . We were able to pickup some gravel at 7am on a Saturday . The prices are at a wholesale price , ridiculously cheap and there is a good range of different grades of medium. The owner is happy to sell small as well as large quantities. Delivery available. You can save so much money whether your just setting up , or topping up , and it is the same product you see at pet stores and aquariums. The owner is such a nice guy and really deserves the business. It is well worth giving him a call and organising a time.

Fast efficent service. Desperately needed to get my car checked for registration and these guys , were the only ones available on a Saturday. I didn't need to make an appointment and they were happy to fit me in.i was told by other autoservices that no one did regos on a Saturday . The service was friendly and I would not hesitate to take my car here if it needed repairs.

We have bottled gas for our heating and cooking . When we moved into our house we had not used bottled gas before. There was gas on our street , but the previous owners had a bottled connected. It was originally just for the stove. After researching cost of LPG cylinder we decided to get 2extra points put on for heating. 2 x 45 cylinder bottles last us a year and the cost of that inc gst is $204.01. That is for all our cooking and heating. A service person checks the bottles for safety throughout the year , for which a small service price is charged. The bottles are outside, so you don't need to be home for delivery . Wide choice of payment options and delivery is usually on the same day you order. I just love cooking with gas and the good thing is we know how much we will pay and roughly how long the gas will last. Just wish we had gas hot water .

Amazing products at a wholesale price. Suitable for domestic and commercial cleaning. I use the dish washing powder ,which I bought a small bucket of last year ,approx $14, still have half a bucket left. Washing powder is suitable for top and front loaders and comes in scented and un scented in 3 different sizes. I buy the larger box , this lasts our family a year . Every cleaning product imaginable at amazing prices. The owner has lots of great cleaning tips and even suggests diluting some products , too make them go further. We save hundreds of dollars using ProKlean products , once you use discover the quality of the products and the fantastic prices, you will think you were mad to buy cleaning products any other way . Check out the website . Will deliver.

I really only go here when I don't have time to go to my preferred pet store that is a little further away . Prices are reasonable and there is a large range of products , for most animals . Some of the staff are great and really know their products. The level of service just seems to vary so much . Sometimes I have been left for long periods of time looking for some assistance . It is a shame because there really are some great staff , who really know their stuff and are really passionate about their jobs. I always take my dog here for the self service hydro wash , I have found it superior to other washes of the same type . The water is warmer and I also find the hair dryer slightly warmer . My dog has a thick coat and this makes a big difference , especially with the cooler weather coming on. Pretty good store , overall.

If you need something for that D.I.Y. Project or if your a trades person you may just find what you need here. We have bought recycled wood , windows , doors , blinds , a big roll of linoleum , and a vintage basin. It is an absolute treasure trove here . Have bought recycled door hardware , you name it you might just find it . The amount of money you can save by using recycled building supplies is amazing. Some things we have bought needed a bit of work and other things have been in mint condition. It is great fun having a ramble around , wear proper shoes. The staff are incredibly helpful and full of good advice. Consider going here before you run to the hardware . Some items like sliding screen doors sell quickly , so if you know exactly what you want give them a call . Builders take all the stuff left over from renovations and demos so stock is constantly coming in .

This review is for Aquatic Caravan Park, Port Macquarie NSW

We just had a relaxing break in one of the riverside cabins . The cabins accommodate up to 6 and are fully self contained. You are literally metres from the water , you can fish from your front porch. Everything was spotlessly clean and all of the furnishings brand new. We took our own sheets , they supply towels, blankets, pillows and I am sure you could hire sheets . Neat dining area with flat screen t.v. There is also an outdoor kitchen with under covered BBQ area. Swimming pool and very small playground . The park is only small , so everyone is very friendly . There are 2 boat ramps , so it is great for fishos. It was great to see other families with little ones catching their first fish , right on their doorstep . Watched dolphins go by one morning. It is a few kilometres out of town , but that didn't bother us. There is an ALDI close by. Only one downside it is very close to the airport , but you get used to it quite quickly and there aren't too many flights . This was our first stay here at a friends recommendation and we will definitely be back.

This review is for Nonabel Lebanese Cuisine/ Cafe Bar, North Wollongong NSW

verified email - 05 May 2013

The best Lebanese food in the Illawarra . They also bake Lebanese bread and delectable sweets ,downstairs in the bakery . The service is friendly and the food authentic. There are a few dishes that you can share and is ideal for families , groups or couples. The food is equal to the best Lebanese restaurants in Sydney . Prices are reasonable . Lots of vegetarian dishes as well. Save room for one of their delicious sweets and coffee. Because the bread is baked on the premises ,you can't get Lebanese bread fresher than this. I often pop in if I am in the area to buy bread and dips including hummus and babaganoush. Also a popular place with uni students . Cosy atmosphere . One of my families favourite eateries.

Great looking pub. Bistro is very family friendly , which is nice to see. Food average pub fare. They do have specials during the week , which are popular . We usually stop here to breakup a journey when visiting friends , we travel from shellharbour way and have friends and relatives out Camden way . The staff are friendly and the pub attracts a wide range of people . Comfortable , friendly pub where visitors are made to feel welcome . Lots of parking and in a good spot to stop if your going for a Sunday ride for a drink or meal . Equally suitable for families .

This review is for Lisa Nguyen Beauty, Cabramatta NSW

Lisa is amazing at everything she does . I went to her for cosmetic tattooing. I had my eyebrows , eyeliner top and bottom and full lip done. She has done thousands of people and studied overseas . Women come from all over for her services. The process can be uncomfortable at times and Lisa is very reassuring and good at keeping you as relaxed as possible. I did a lot of research online before choosing her services , because it was such a big decision. I have a medical condition which causes me to shake and putting on makeup took along time and was frustrating. I was so pleased with the result , and continue to be 12months on. In the morning I wake up looking fabulous which is an added bonus . I feel so confident . 2 weeks after the tattooing you go back for any touch ups and so Lisa can check you are happy . There is also a teaching academy here , and she offers every beauty service imaginable. Lisa is not only professional but friendly . Surgeons recommend her to woman who may have had their nipple removed during breast surgery and she can tattoo realistic looking nipples. She is a very kind person. Look at her website that lists her services and prices , also has pictures and reviews from clients . The best and most experienced beauty therapist I have ever been to .
