Neutral (0) votes Beautiful Bright

in Bright, North East Victoria by kylied on Monday 25th February 2008

This is one of my favourite towns for a day trip, weekend getaway or just a great week away from the city/ office. If you want theme parks Bright is not for you, but if you love a tranquil country town where you can find pretty nature walks to g... (more)

Neutral (0) votes Shopping on Pako

in Pakington St, Geelong, Vic by kylied on Monday 25th February 2008

Geelong has all of your usual big shopping malls but the place I love best is Pakington St. There's an eclectic mix of cafes, restaurants and boutique shops where you can pick up everything from clothes from Brown Sugar to an Alannah Hill dress ... (more)

in Gold Coast, Queensland by kylied on Monday 25th February 2008

I'm looking for somewhere to stay that's got all the perks- pool, spa, comfortable/clean rooms, that's close to beach- but doesn't cost the earth.... (more)

in Melbourne by DuaneWayne on Tuesday 29th January 2008

Not sure why, but I've always been a bit fishy about cooking our finned friends. But the best thing I did was to, not learn by mistake, but actually go to a cooking class and see how it is done properly. I went to Pip's Cooking School in Westmea... (more)

in Ballarat by DuaneWayne on Tuesday 29th January 2008

I grew up in Ballarat, and my memories of Sovereign Hill we're pretty much that of a slightly corny gold era tourist attraction that was pretty boring, but after taking my own kids back there I can certainly say times have changed in the olde to... (more)

in Sydney (27 O'Connell St) by baxterro on Saturday 26th January 2008

Sir Stamford Plaza Circular Quay
93 Macquarie St Sydney

Just a gorgeous place in every way. I've stayed here often, and find the most basic of rooms to be luxurious. Great marble baths in huge bath rooms. The beds are extre... (more)

in Sydney (93 Macquarie St) by baxterro on Saturday 26th January 2008

Just a gorgeous place in every way. I've stayed here often, and find the most basic of rooms to be luxurious. Great marble baths in huge bath rooms. The beds are extremely comfortable, and the decor classy. The "smoking lounge" is like something... (more)

in Sydney by Betty26 on Saturday 26th January 2008

The food, yes delightful
But prices are frightful
So best know your limits ahead
For anniversaries, yes fair
If not look elsewhere
Once eaten twice shy I'd have said

Footnote: Entre $35, Main $50... (more)

Neutral (0) votes The Point

in Brisbane by RickyMunt on Friday 25th January 2008

I can't say that The Point was the cheapest place I've ever stayed, but all things considered it was one of the best. The views of the Brisbane skyline were unbeatable and the access to the CBD, the Gabba and the docks were perfect. It... (more)

Neutral (0) votes Lucio's (Italian restaurant)

in Paddington, Sydney by baxterro on Friday 25th January 2008

There's a lot of hype about this place, and maybe that's why it fell an inch short for me. Pasta was good, winelist is quality, but I just felt like the food didn't match the build-up. Maybe that's not their fault, but mine? I did like the art o... (more)

Neutral (0) votes Stamford Plaza The Dining Room

in Circular Quay, Sydney by baxterro on Friday 25th January 2008

Special, special, special. Take a deep breath and inhale the surroundings. From the lounge to the dining room and you're sitting in high comfort ready to eat an outstanding meal. Let me recommend the roasted spatchcock (at $40) and the kingfish ... (more)

in Circular Quay, Sydney by baxterro on Friday 25th January 2008

Never misses the mark. I don't think there is a better place in Sydney for either quality or (at the high end) value. Seafood, game, pasta, it doesn't matter, always first class. I like the creative sauces and variations with the vegetables, too... (more)

Neutral (0) votes Maya Da Dhaba INDIAN

in Clevelend St Redfern, Sydney by baxterro on Friday 25th January 2008

Sneaky little place in a sea of Indian options, this place was a great heads-up from those who live in Redfern. The locals eat in, but I've only had takeaway. Forget trying to park nearby. Very smooth feel about most dishes, and very yummy. I'm ... (more)

Neutral (0) votes BBQ King Chinese

in Goulburn St Sydney Sussex end by baxterro on Friday 25th January 2008

Easily one of the better traditional places along the Chinatown strip. Never be tempted by the others with people out the front trying to shoehorn you in, stick to the ones that don't need to. At BBQ King (name doesn't do it justice) you'll get ... (more)

in Clevelend St Redfern, Sydney by baxterro on Friday 25th January 2008

Feels like sitting down with the owner's family some nights in here. I can vouch they eat their own food, I've seen them in action. Great curries, butter chicken, rice is tops. Good value, too, you can get a good feed here for two people with ch... (more)
