    "The traditional op shop is dying. I'm talking about the church op shop that is run by retired old ladies who split their time between water walking, playing bridge, drinking gin and tonics in the afternoon and putting in a few hours at their local charity shop. I'm not saying they don't exist but increasingly in their place we have vintage shops, carefully chosen selections of retro threads with towering price tags. The Paperbag Princess fits somewhere between these two stores. Their nothing over $20 policy means that choosing clothes is affordable and due to that price tag you still have to go for a good rummage to find the treasure (which I enjoy). The staff are young and friendly, and the clothes are constantly being rotated so you know there will be some fresh finds in the mix. Definitely worth checking out.   Definitely worth a rummage!"

    "It’s been a while since I’ve eaten at Alleluya cafe. Usually I just stop in for a coffee and roll out. Today I met a friend there for breakfast and ordered the eggs Benedict with salmon. I could barely get through the mountain of food that arrived which is a nice change from the miniature morsels that are sometimes delivered at other cafes. The eggs were perfect, the hollandaise just right and the salmon plentiful and delicious. Recommended."

    "Whenever I need to buy a gift and am feeling a little stumped on the matter I head to Iko Iko. It's here in this haven of brightly colored plastic and painted wood surfaces I know that inspiration will strike. The shop, which has been there for as long as I can remember, stocks a great selection of quirky items. If you want a novely gift, a unique piece of jewellery or an eye catching coffee table book they have you covered with options to spare. It's not just for buying gifts either, feel free to treat yourself."
