A great cafe for brunch and lunch. 10% card given for your next trip; an ideal marketing tool for a tourist spot. The food is good, hearty and has generous servings. Service can be a little erratic, but staff are generally good spirited and helpful.

Attentive service, fantastic seafood dishes, marvellous mojitos and reasonable prices. Staff are extremely knowledgable about the food and make excellent recommendation in terms of appropriate wine/cocktails. Some of THE best seafood I have ever eaten.

BRILLIANT tour company! This tour of the Daintree was a fantastic experience. You are picked up from your hotel and taken to Cape Tribulation. A walk on the beach and rainforest or a kayak (weather permitting) is followed by morning tea with bush tea and lamingtons. Then drivve into the Daintree Rainforest looking for the ever elusive cassawarry (we were lucky!!). Lunch is held on privately owned land and is followed by a very detailed and informative walk through the rainforest. After the walk (muggy), you can relax in the chilly waters of a crocodile free creek. Then a solar powered boat ride down the Daintree River to spot crocodiles. Finally a trip for homemade ice cream to complete the day. Guides are VERY informative and humourous. Highly recommended!!

This review is for Forum Theatre, Melbourne VIC

A beautiful old theatre in the heart of Melbourne. Often used during the Melbourne International Comedy Theatre and also as a great venue for bands. Bar service is available and along with tables, there are booths to sit in. Great acoustics and fantastic architecture. Parking is available close by in either Fed Square car park or a closely located Wilsons car park.

A good meeting place before going to the movies or a good place to catch up with friends. The meals are good and there is a good variety also. The service can be quite erratic at times. Sometimes staff are attentive and at other times orders get forgotten (especially drink orders). You can order drinks at your table or at the bar. The bar does attract a young crowd later in the evening.

This review is for Lilydale Veterinary Centre, Lilydale VIC

A fantastic vet clinic! Staff are knowledgable, caring and patient. Like all vet clinics they are expensive, but the service and care that they provide is reassuring. On Tuesdays there is a discount for pensioners, which is a great service to provide in these economic times!

This review is for The Pie Shed, Bayswater VIC

BRILLIANT pies! A wide variety, including some game pies - venison, crocodile, kangaroo. The beef and burgundy pie is the stuff of legends!! The gourmet pies, although a little pricey, are fresh, the meat is tender and they are very filling. As well as meat pies, they also make a good selection of fruit pies and other cakes.

This review is for The Purple Onion, Heathmont VIC

A cafe that is supposedly known for their Ned Kelly Pie. As a bit of a pie fan, I found this pie quite disappointing. It was fairly expensive (approx $4 from memory) and not that tasty. They do a good trade in coffee and cake, but I wouldn't recommend their signature pie.

This review is for Seymour Street Medical & Dental Centre, Ringwood VIC

A bulk billing clinic in Ringwood with both male and female doctors available. The clinic open at 7am and closes at 8pm. You cannot make a booking which is a bit annoying. It is on a first come, first serve basis. There is also a pathology department and dentist. A pretty good clinic.

This review is for Boronia Beauty Wishes Day Spa, Boronia VIC

A nice day spa. The waxing services are good. 25% off on Mondays (except XXX). Pedicures are not that great. You are in an uncomfortable chair, sitting in a drafty room. Not really a very relaxing experience. Staff are young and friendly.
