I grab a coffee a day! How else would you start the day. Fawkner McDonalds is a recently built complex with great sitting and the states well known newsapapers available 'FREE'. Thats the Herald Sun and The Age. I have my coffee while reading the news for the day. Then I'm off to work in a happy fram of mind.
Approximate cost: $8
I always like to support a good cause and this place ain't no different. This place help educate our next group of people in the hospitality industry. They learn as they go and you need to have patience as they dont always get it right. The price is extememely cheap which, a times, makes up for the service. REMEMBER: they are learning and you will have a great time.

Everyone has a place where they play the pokies - this is where I go. this is where I go and relax in front of a pokies machine and enjoy a quality cofee. this is where I gather with others and enjoy a chat while catching up with old friends. The machines pay out - well not all the time!
There is one thing that you don't go with chance and that is certainlty your Wedding! I was recommended to this great company to look after the important photots of my, sorry our special day. They came out brillantly, just a great illustration of the day. An illutration that keeps bring me back to this important event. A photo by photo snap shot. When you say wedding the price goes up alot but not at Astir's, wedding is there business and keeping the price down is there motto - well the one I've given them anyway. Thanks guys!
If a coffe is what you want of a simple sandwich with a cookie or need a small, well run place to hold your next party, look no further than the Fire Station. Its a old building that charms the area with it great large red doors and polished concret not forgetting that on a lovely sunny day you can sit out the back and enjoy a meal/coffee in the sun. I enjoy revisiting this small family run buisness.

I used to go to the RSL with my best mates dad and have been part of the culture since a young age. That culture has moved on now but the spirit remains. I'm not one to play bowls that offend by do it socially where the RSL welcomes me back every time. I love to go down for a drink and jut socialise with the young and old. Come for a bowl, it cheap and you'll be suprise how much fun you can have.
It's a famous francise and it the biggest one in the Northern suburbs. It has great trading hours and plently of products to buy for every occassion. Toys, electronics, DVD, clothes, laundry items, as simple as an iron to a rose tree. It is very close to home and has plenty of car parking. It's close to Coles, cheesecake shop and Officeworks.
Rainbow Jumping Castle come to my place and set up a Princess jumping castle fo my daughters 3rd birthday. They came on time, they set up the entire castle with a huge emphasis on safety. We arranged a time for pick up were they were very kind as since it was daylight savings and light was available to us until 7pm that they agreed with no extra costs to let us have it for a longer time. longer time means keeping the kids occupied and happy longer. A service from A-Z.

This is a truely one stop shop. I go to the doctor next door then get my prescription at the pharmacy while getting my weekly tattslotto and everyday products such as band-aides, panadol and perfume. The staff are very friendly and the pharmacist is more then willing to come down to our level and have a chat about any health problem and give an opinion for a solution or refer me to the doctor for a more precise decision.
I was wondering why my tennis game was getting worse so I thought I would take a punt and see if Curnow Tennis could help. Not only did they help we seriously went out the back of the store and had a hit on a tennis court where no jokes I think I tried about 6-7 racquets. I chose my new racquet where it was restrung at no extra cost and I got a very appreciated discount when I grabbed a tennis top and a couple of socks. This place is a gold mine ready to be discovered. Go have a look & a hit (if you want). I'm enjoying my tennis again!
