We were looking for a quiet place outdoors to have our civil ceremony, but nothing too public like a local park, when we found Wilson Botanical Gardens in Berwick. They have staff there who can help you through the entire booking process, you get a couple of choices of different locations in the park that you can get married, if you want chairs or not, near the rotundra, lakeside, ampitheatre etc, and the backdrop makes for wonderful photos. Everyone we spoke to at WBG was really helpful and came up with great suggestions to help us plan our day. Would highly recommend if you are looking for an out of the way place to have your ceremony.

We were planning a budget wedding but I didnt want to scrimp on the photographer, and i didnt have to. Jackie was advertising in our local paper and I looked at her website and fell in love with her work. Jackie travels to meet her clients and came out one evening to see us before our big day, we were happy to get even the budget package once you see her work, and the best thing is you get EVERYTHING on disk/DVD, so there's no paying for reprints. Just one set fee. She did collages of images and some fancy stuff with the photos, B&W, Sepia, B&W and colour in the same photo. Before we got back from the honeymoon the DVDs of the photos had arrive and we couldn't be happier!

I had been going to this salon for a few years until I had an unpleasant mishap with an inexperienced apprentice and some bad foils. I was given a gift voucher for my next visit to make up for it, but left it a while as I was worried about going back. Anyway, finally I went back only to find they had now changed hands with new owners. I asked to make an appointment with one of their more experienced colourists, so I got Michelle (the salon owner), after explaining the mishap of my previous visit with the old owners of the business, she took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted, asked me questions of what I liked and disliked and for the first time in a long while, i got the personalised experience that i had been looking for. I was extremely pleased with the outcome of both my colour and cut, and as a bonus they even honoured my gift voucher from the previous owner. That's something you dont see often. Have been back now a few times and still very happy.

John Girling has looked after my personal and investment tax for about 7 years now. He's fantastic when it comes to advising you of your allowable deductions and giving you advice on how to reduce your taxable income in the coming year, things to look out for, and tax changes coming up that could affect me. His prices are very reasonable and tax returns are lodged electronically and refunds paid directly into your bank account normally within a week or two. Very easy person to deal with and takes the hastle out of worrying if you've done your tax right or wrong. Would recommend highly.

Last year our dog went missing and she wasn't microchipped. We searched around for over a week calling shelters and pounds before getting a call from the National Pet Register. Thankfully we had our animals registerd with them through their FREE ID TAG scheme, which provides an Australia-wide pet identification and recovery service for animals registered with them. I never thought something that costs you nothing could be worth all the money in the world. The staff there are just so helpful you couldn't have asked for better follow up to get your pet back!

Highway Tyre Service offer fantastic value for money for brand tyres, and are more competitive than other major outlets. They have a drive in service where you can drop your car off and wait for tyres to be fitted or punctures to be repaired, no bookings required. They are also open on Saturdays. You can ring ahead to shop around for the tyres and price you want in advance. Service is really fast and staff are friendly and very helpful, good range depending on your budget.

Looking for a reliable mechanic that won't rip you off - look no further. Dave at Skye Services provides comprehensive service and thorough safety inspections for all general vehicle services, and is great when it comes to tracking down those unknown problems no one else can find. Very experienced in all types of vehicles from local manufactured to imported vehicles, turbos etc. Able to source parts at a very competitive price for most vehicles. Would highly recommend this mechanic.
