I imagine they're dealing with hundreds of people every day - it's a post office, after all - but they manage a smile and a greeting again and again - I know I'm not their biggest customer but I feel like a friend when I'm in there, they remember little things like my wife shops Ebay, etc - it's just a pleasure to drop in. They have all the Aussie Post products you'd expect, and a good range of gifts, presents, toys, gift cards, stuffed toys, etc.

I think the lady that wrote the poor review was pretty unfair by naming and shaming the guy when she was trying to collect a parcel without a photo ID. That's her fault and then standing there to fill out a form when another person was behind her is totally out of order. The place is good. Don't give hard-working folk bad ratings because you're a painful person.

A small store considering that the queue for service can stretch out the door on busy days, the…read moreBlackwood Branch has the same strange array of items in store that most Post stores now have next to the envelopes and boxes. The staff are quite nice and helpful although I wish their were a few ore who worked the floor as the demand for attention at the teller is normally so strong I feel that if I ask a complicated question those behind me in the queue start boring holes into the back of my head with their eyes as I take up more time. Either way, the line does move and everyone stays happy. Yay!

I have found many of the staff to be very cold and give you the impression that you are ruining their day by bothering them with your enquiries. Given that Australia Post is not doing too well financially, you should be happy that you still have a job.

Possibly the friendliest post office in Adelaide. My boyfriend runs an online business so has to…read moresend a lot of parcels each day and he swears by this place. Super friendly staff who are always up for a chat - but won't monopolise your time unnecessarily either. I would give this a 5 star review except that the store is somewhat small and feels crowded as soon as two or more people come in behind you. They also sell metro tickets/ credit for your metro card.

I went on the "Half-day Adelaide and Hahndorf Tour" and it was marvellous. Our group was picked up…read moreby our guide, David, at the Hilton. We were shown around the city and given lots of fascinating background information. We saw and heard about Adelaide history and passed by several places of interest. We stopped in to see the newly renovated Adelaide Oval then made our way up into the Adelaide Hills. The peak of Mt Lofty has a glorious view and we enjoyed that with a short stop. We then went on to Hahndorf. We had free time here to explore the main street, where there are shops, cafes and other things of German culture to investigate. Our schedule was managed very carefully and we left Hahndorf in good time to get back to the city as planned. Overall, this tour and our guide was excellent. I would recommend this tour and would definitely choose them for another tour in the future. Well done.

It has been ages since I've actually been into the church, despite actually living in Adelaide…read more Actually, I really do appreciate how some of these churches leave the doors open to allow people to wander in and walk around, and this church is certainly no exception (though there is some volunteer sitting there ready to help people out, and to answer any questions). I wouldn't necessarily say that it is impressive, not compared to some churches that I've visited, but for a cathedral in Australia, it still isn't all that bad.

Norwood Town Hall on the corner of the Parade and George Streets is the home of the combined…read morecouncils of Norwood, Payneham and St Peters. The Town Hall is the main customer service centre for the councils and is open Mon - Fri from 8.30 to 5pm. The building itself was opened in back in 1883 and is similar in style to many other town hall buildings like the Adelaide and Glenelg Town Halls. While the oldest section of the Town Hall fronts onto The Parade, the section behind extends into George Street and is actually a large concert hall and performance venue. Back in the 1880 when it was first opened, a prestigious art school where the likes of Hans Heysen studied was located upstairs in the Town Hall's commercial offices. The Norwood Town Hall has been lovingly cared for over the years and is still a formidable building among the sites of the Parade. While everything has changed around it this elegant building has remained proudly unchanged.

And only once have I made use of the…read moreNorwood Town Hall's facilities as a council service - more frequently my experience has been retail in nature. I visited the customer service section once, for on street parking permits. And my albeit brief encounter was A-ok: friendly staff, easy process. I had pictured it kind of like "Parks and Recreation" but it wasn't really...but I can't hold that against it. More often though, I've visited the Hall for the regular sample and designer clearance sales. (I think this says more about me than the Norwood Council though). Every so often designers will hold their sales in the huge old concert hall you enter via the side. It's a perfect venue for it, with a huge space for the racks and racks of clothing, makeshift change rooms (warning: you will get partially undressed in front of a bunch of other girls) and registers. The interior is as old school as the iconic exterior suggests: it's a lovely building and addition to the local flavour.

I always tried to avoid any government department buildings as they seemed packed all the time and…read moreI just hated the atmosphere in those places. Although recently I have had no choice and I must say it's not as bad as I remember it. This office is quite small but is conveniently located within the shopping centre, but also near an entrance, so easy to get to. They have great opening hours - much better than most government agencies. I usually only go here when I need to make a claim as it is so easy. You just go in with your receipt and medicare card and they give you the cash back straight away. I have never had to wait more than about 5 or 10 minutes, which I thought was pretty good. And to think I used to fill out forms and post them off and then wait weeks to get a cheque back and then go to the bank to deposit it and wait 3 days for it to clear when it was this easy all along to do at their office. I also realised last time I was in there that they have a Family Assistance Office in here as well. Not quite sure the benefits as I always thought you had to go through Centrelink for FAO stuff but they had forms available here as well.
