How refreshing to find a cycle shop, where the guy behind the counter (not the boss)  knows what he is talking about. I had a problem with my mountain bike that i was unable to sort out. While on the Norwood Parade just happened to walk past the shop, so on impulse decided to call in and make an enquiry. Purchased the necessary part required, walked away very satisfied. Good bike shop worth keeping this place on file.

Repatriation General Hospital Daw Park Adelaide SA

The Repatriation General Hospital Daw Park Adelaide, is an older style hospital with buildings added on, remodelled over the years.  Which makes the place a little difficult to find your way around. I have had to attend their Out Patient Department over the past two years and have found the staff most helpful, attentive, and very professional. The Medical staff are highly specialised, giving me great confidence in the treatment I have received. Over the past few years, you read in the local paper "this hospital to be closed down". When you look at the ageing statistics of our population, the number of people on huge long term waiting lists, it would seem common sense not to close this hospital down. I spoke to a number of patients today, and they all expressed my sentiments. Why close a very well used popular functioning hospital down? Unfortunately Common Sense has passed away.

We ordered for lunch from a good varied menu, two soups, cauliflower and tomato, both soups were served in bowls with fresh warm rolls. The tomato soup would have to be up there with the best I have tasted. Thick, tasty and very easy on the palate, my wife enjoyed very much her choice cauliflower soup, it was also very well prepared, creamy and tasty. Sitting by the open fire, enjoying this well prepared lunch, experiencing excellent coffees makes for a very relaxing interlude. We shall return one evening for dinner.

Both meals were extremely generous in size, excellently prepared and presented, in the salad the salmon was generously layered  throughout, not just on top, what a treat!.

The Creperie Cart. RundleMall Adelaide

The word crêpe is French for pancake and is derived from the Latin crispus meaning “curled”.  Crêpes originated inBrittany (fr.

Exposed brick walls are stencilled with murals depicting Hahndorf's historical German past. One space can be completely closed off for private functions, and outside  is a delightful alfresco area over looking Hahndorf's main street.

We ordered from the wide ranging menu, that included specialised German Dishes and delectable Pizzas, A premium Wagyu schnitzel lightly crumbed with sage and onion served with salad, beer battered chips & Dianne sauce. A prosciutto wrapped chicken breast, served with white wine and cream mushroom risotto, sundried tomato pesto & spring onions. Both dishes were of a generous size, prepared and presented to a very high standard and as expected, delicious. The local wine suggested, Sidewood Adelaide Hills Savignon Blanc, perfect. We skipped the dessert menu and opted for cakes from the large display cabinet, accompanied by coffee. The service was faultless, the atmosphere was buzzing, a very satisfying dining experience.

Coffee Club Adelaide Central Plaza

We have found over a lengthy period of time, there are definitely some good advantages, patronising the Coffee Club in Adelaide's Central City Mall as a regular. The food options keep changing, but the coffee is very consistent, the service is always good, even when crowded there is very little delay. First you can become a member of the VIP programme, which will save you hard earned money, they also have periodical offers that are well worth your free entry. This year they were offering to a lucky participant, who swipes their card $100 cash voucher, "YES" I ended up winning the $100 cash voucher. What with Free Wifi, morning papers, good coffee, a discount through the VIP Club, plus entering their promotions, make this a great coffee stop, when in the City.
