This store has a great range of products for anyone wanting to own a specific type of pet. From cats to dogs, lizards and aquariums they have pretty much everything you need to get setup. However being a niche market of not much else in the area the prices of some things are quite high compared to online stores or larger pet chains. (I think the store is independent rather than a chain). I am into keeping freshwater aquariums and they do have a very decent range of fish and they get new plant stock on wednesdays. Be careful when purchasing plants, sometimes they are sold as aquatic plants when they arent meant to be submersed in water at all. All in all whenever ive needed anything they have had it, been very friendly and informative.

This store has some unbelievable prices and definitely something which is good to order from. If you are going to make an order do make sure that you call up and check stock, they dont have a stock level on their website so you could order and pay and wait for days to get notified they dont have any stock. Be very precise and accurate when ordering and especially when you plan on getting the item quickly. When ordering there are some prices which require specific conditions (buying another item or in a bundle) so make sure you have selected the right one. I have only gotten parts from this store before, no prebuilt PC's but for the price you cant go wrong! Shipping is cheap as well, however its $11 per a certain measurement for box size so if you are ordering a few objects it can quickly become 4 x $11 so be careful. I must say do call dont email, i have sent emails a few times and rarely get a reply within the first week.

This review is for MSY Technology, Auburn NSW

I have to average my experience at MSY as being 3. Their customer service is definitely below par but the prices they offer are simply incredible. The products i have bought from there mutliple times have all been in great condition and i havent had a problem yet (touch wood). The best way to get to MSY in Auburn is to take the Silverwater Rd Exit (heading west away from the city). Make sure you get there with plenty of time to spare because sometimes you could be waiting for 15min - 1hour. I would recommend using MSY for people being quite literate already with PC's as it is best to get your parts from in store. They dont offer shipping either so everything is pickup (note i havent bought a premade PC from them before). Hope this review helps!

This review is for St George Aquariums, Rockdale NSW

This store is amazing! They have so many fish and plants available and a large range of pretty much everything you could want. The shop is always busy so when you get one of the employees to help you make sure you hang on for dear life and query them with everything you've got. Freshwater and Marine you can get everything you need including fish, plants, live rock, parts, sumps, tanks, filters, treatments, food, ferts everything. They arent open on Sundays so dont forget (like i have a few times) and rock up only to be dissapointed!

This review is for Marrickville Aquariums, Marrickville NSW

A great aquarium to visit, its quite small is size but they have a lovely variety of fish for both Freshwater and Marine. The prices arent as good as some of your big name stores but they are reasonable and ive found that the fish are healthy and happy. Nice range of tanks and stands and especially nice kits for people starting out in the Hobby. They are open until 6pm if i remember correctly and this is great for when you need to stop off and get something after work. It pays to do some searching around at different stores and i am a repeat customer here.

This review is for White Cockatoo Hotel, Petersham NSW

If your looking for a large cheap meal, this is the place to go :) They have a whole range of schnitzels with different sauces as well as your regular pub food. The servings are gigantic so make sure you dont have too many beers before you start! They have a projector setup and they show all the regular sports. Enjoyable place to enjoy dinner and a few drinks, across the road from petersham station so easy to get too via public transport.

Approximate cost: $14.00

This review is for Una's, Ultimo NSW

The food here is fantastic, you better skip a couple of meals before you head in tho because you might not finish it all. They have a great range of authentic dishes, favourites of mine being the Jager Schnitzel and the Pork Knuckle. Their beer selection is fantastic as well coming in a range of sizes. For entree try the mushrooms they are to die for. The prices are fairly reasonable, you will not leave hungry.

Approximate cost: $20.00

This review is for Cafe Q, Ultimo NSW

Cafe Q is tucked away just off Parramatta Rd at Broadway. Its inside the big residential plaza building which you can see near the Ogalo/Subway on Parramatta Rd. They make fantastic coffee, as well as having a nice range of pastries for the morning and definitely try the bacon and egg roll if your hungry. The pasta they have is really nice, its a nice atmosphere tucked away off the street and good to go to with a group of friends.

This review is for Gung Ho, Haymarket NSW

verified email - 24 Apr 2008

Another enjoyable lunchtime eatery, this place is just opposite central station and down towards Market city. During lunchtime it can get really packed but the food or service has never taken too long. Generally you can get a seat and its a good place to enjoy your meal with a group of people from work. My favourite dish is definitely the Gung Ho Spicy Fried Rice, the chopped chilli they have as well is excellent. A nice side to go with your fried rice is the Roti Prata they have there. Definitely worth a visit.

Approximate cost: $8 - $9

This place is one of the best places along the strip of restaurants on parramatta rd at Broadway. Their food is simple, yet very tasty and you can get a variety of things from chilli chicken dishes, rendang curry or satay chicken skewers with the best sauce ive ever had. The service is quick and friendly, you can also call up your order before you pick it up instore. The place gets busy at times but ive never had to wait more than 5 - 10min for my food to be ready. The staff are also very friendly. Highly recommend it.

Approximate cost: $10.00
