Flowers Galore helped my family organise a basket of flowers to commemorate the life of a relative for a funeral service. The flowers matched in with everything for the service and they were very understanding. Would definitely recommend using them for a commemorative event of any kind.

A few friends and I decided to go somewhere new for Sunday afternoon drinks and happened upon Canvas. It has the best mojito I've ever tried and amazing dips. The atmospherics were also quite good with a singer singing softly in the front area of the bar. It made for an amazing Sunday afternoon and made us forget we had work the following day.

This is a usual haunt for dinner for me. I keep going back because the food and service is great! Whilst it is probably equally as expensive as other fish and chip takeaway places in the area, it is worth it for a better quality meal. It is definitely the best fish and chip shop in the area.

My family and I had to order a bunch of flowers for my husband's grandfather, who died suddenly of leukemia. We went to the local florist in Mildura for flowers for the funeral, Derimar Florists and were surprised by how understanding and caring they were. We would quite happily recommend them any day to others. The experience was really pleasant.

I went to China Den one night, after looking for a Chinese Restaurant in the woolloongabba that does take away. I was however sadly disappointed with the quality of food we received. My husband and I both felt ill from eating it and any possible seconds we would have had went straight into the bin. Needless to say, I have never gone back.

I ordered takeaway from this shop for the first time the other day with friends and was very impressed with the quality of the meal and value for money. You can even get dinner saving combined meals. I must say it was some of the best Indian take out I have had in quite some time. You must try it!

I stayed here over the christmas break and had a very enjoyable time. Breakfast was offered in the restaurant at a very reasonable price and I took full advantage of the Bar and Lounge area that offered $8 cocktails on a Saturday evening and $3 champagne during happy hour on Sunday.

I went on this tour when in The Hunter Valley Recently. For approximately $100.00 per person you get to visit and sample wine from five or more wineries, sample cheese and have lunch. There is also an option where you can go without lunch or join for a half day only. The tour bus will pick you up if staying in the local area.

I recently went on a wine trip to The Hunter Valley and stayed at Leisure Inn Pokolbin Hill. The apartment I stayed in was very spacious and the complex was smack bang in the middle of The Hunter Valley. It was a great point for day tours and also offered a tennis court and pool. I even saw a wallaby on the premises during dusk.

I went to Aqua Linea for a Melbourne Cup lunch and the food was amazing. Aqua Linea also has a fantastic view of the Brisbane River if you sit at the back of the restaurant. The staff are friendly too.
