A "quirky" gift shop along the "new-age" lines. Has a limited range of clothing, jewellery, incense, candles etc. The owner is very friendly, helpful & is prepared to negotiate on price if he feels you are serious about a purchase. It is a shop that is "worth-a-look" if you are in the area.

For me this is a special-occasion shop. Just entering the building & viewing the display increases my heart rate. The aroma is an experience in itself. A good range is available & special requests can be arranged.

I enjoy book shop browsing, especially second hand. I was surprised by the content & range of titles. The building has old-world charm that adds to the experience. The proprietor is very pleasant & knowledgeable and is willing to procure any title that you may request.

Have dealt with this family for a number of years. Good range of product & fair prices. Very generous with their honest advice & have extensive knowledge of local conditions. Good nurseries are in short supply due to the drought & these people deserve to be supported in difficult times.

Just passing-by recently and I called in to ease the hunger pains. Had the BEST hamburger that I have ever had in this town. A great find. Will definitely have to return to try their fish & chips and maybe a souvlaki.

Approximate cost: $5.??

I have shopped here for about two years. Good range of better-than-average fruit & vegetables. In this town GOOD fruit & vegetable shops, with fair prices, don't seem to survive for more than 4-5 years.

Approximate cost: $12.00/Wk.

Been here on two seperate occasions over last three years. On both occasions I have been disappointed in their service. Three attempts at a wheel alignment & still no satisfaction. Went to another specialist outlet & they got it right first time.

Approximate cost: $170.00
