This email is intended to alert your company about a 'quality' issue with the Spinnifex Caravan…read moreCovers you sell. Rather than just making a complaint I wish to inform you the Spinifex Caravan Covers are potentially ok but...the material used is not consistent and quickly falls apart 'in some places'. The Spinifex claim that top and front material is 3 layer is questionable! (I have tried to attached copies of photos taken of the cover I have on my Motorhome today which has, in total, been on the Motorhome about 9 months.    In addition, the zoomed photo was taken a couple of years ago when a 'previous' cover had the same failure....only on one panel.  I did make a claim then because the cover had not been used much at all and Anaconda replaced it...which I appreciated).  I in fact purchased a 'replacement' cover yesterday (3rd cover in less than 3 years)  from Anaconda Bayswater (22'-24')  for $199 which I will use soon. I am not making a claim...because I appreciate the covers are not expensive....they do the job....but they could be much better with a little more control on material quality but your Supplier. I hope this message is useful for your team.    If someone wishes to have a look at the cover on my motorhome feel free to do so. Kind regards. Lindsay Borgas. Mobile:  0418177428.

As a seasonal camper, we came to the Bayswater store when in need of a new tent for Meredith Music Festival, and found that they not only had a huge range, but with each tent set up on the display floor, you could actually try them on for size. The staff were great here too, helping us with any technical questions we had. Also stocking a huge range of camping equipment such as stoves, torches, fridges and anything else you'll need, this really is your one stop shop for camping.

The quality of products at Bloch are second to none in Australia, which is supported by the fact that Bloch is the major shoe and rehearsal outfit provider to both the Australian Ballet company, and their school. I have never had any problems with anything bought here, and my dance shoes generally last me a good amount of time - definitely important, because they arent cheap! Back to the staff - all seem to be very well trained in shoe fitting - maybe not so important with hip hop runners, but essential for ballet and pointe shoes.The manager Bec and her staff are fantastic at taking care of all your special orders and requests The store also caries accessories like bags, shoe ribbons, exercise wear and even dance related gifts, which are perfect for that little girl or boy who just loves loves loves their ballet class. I wouldnt go aywhere else.

I'm loving it at the moment for all of the different styles of smokin' dresses available, keeping in mind the Spring Racing Carnival, if you've planned to go to any events and you're struggling to find a perfect outfit, Central Land could be stocking your perfect dress. The thing I love is that for as little as $49 you can find a classy little piece, wearable for the races, after five function, night out on the town with the girls or a romantic dinner date with your beau. Affordable but elegantly hot, I'm really impressed by the quality as well. I picked up a gorgeous short white number with billowing detail at the waist. Teamed with a pair of lace black gloves and matching shoes I am very pleased with the end result. I'll keep you posted with another review when I find my headpiece, which is still causing some slight anxiety!

You cannot overestimate the positive effect a new Frisbee will have on your capacity to throw well. In fact, you cannot overestimate the effect of a new Frisbee on your overall well being and self-esteem. I'd always persisted with those shitty discs you pick up at garages or toy shops and had never really had a crack on a good one. I don't like those 'fad' style discs either, you look like such a nerd throwing some bright pink triangle, no matter how far it'll go. But if you get a correctly weighted, Ultimate Frisbee, your game will be improved forever. You can hurl these things like weapons. I take pride in blasting some in around face or ankle height, just to freak people out. They stock these here for about $20. $20! That's a perfect birthday pressie right there yo.

Or a sporting supermarket as Northcote's Sportsmart ostensibly is. Stocking a range of sportswear, sports gear and equipment from frankly huge premises just opposite the entrance to the Northcote Plaza. I may not know my sports but I can spot a ruddy good selection of tennis rackets when I see them and prices seem reasonable for some pretty premium gear. Quality runs the gamut from cheap and cheerful to egregiously expensive and nearly pro and Sportsmart stocks everything from children's swimming goggles to giant elliptical machines and the like. If you're into sports and you need anything sporty, Sportsmart is a - predictably - good bet.

There aren't any ridiculous sales happening here either. Just the usual small business seasonal sales. You get what you pay for, which is amazing service and knowledge.

Someone told me about Bumps a while ago but it was only last winter that I decided to venture here. Since I'm just a beginner on the slopes, it really didn't make sense for me to buy my own ski's so renting has been the only option. Even though they were really crowded and busy the day I went in, the sales staff were really attentive and helped us choose ski's, ski boots and gear, while helping us save some money by suggesting alternatives. They also gave us really good advice about layering and keeping warm (and cool indoors) which cam in really useful when we actually got to the slopes. All I can say is, with Bumps, I can't wait for next winter!
