ArtStyle Nylon Watch Band

This is an awesome quality, great looking blue watch band. I bought this slip-thru to use it with my Timex Weekender, to mix and match with different spheres. Unfortunately, the band is too long for my wrist and, and due to the fact that there are two sets of buckles, it ends looking bulky and odd on me. I was going to return it but, due to the fact that the product was sent from Amazon US and not Au, Australian customers pay the return package fees, so I'd lose money in the return.

Yunoun Chakra Stones Healing Crystals 7 -hakra Set

Beautifully packaged, this is a lovely set of polished healing stones and a lovely boho necklace. Stones are lovely, and really pleasurable to touch, but also tiny and not especially good quality. Easy to carry around or use with your tarot decks. I love the necklace but the cord length is not adjustable. The booklet is really informative, but lettering is too small, and I need to use a magnifying glass to read it. This makes a nice present, as it comes ready packaged.

Alba Botanica Hawaiian Sea-Salt Body Scrub

This is a great natural scrub that does a wonderful job at leaving your skin clean, super-soft and supple, smelling of lemon granita. The combination of thick salt and lemony oils make wonders for my dry skin. It is all natural and ethically sourced, so that's a double thumbs up from me. Price is fantastic. Update: the product is no longer sold by Amazon Au but it's imported from the US, and pricing has doubled up since I first posted this review.

iMucci Color-Changing Butterfly Auto-Open UV Umbrella

This is a very easy-to-carry umbrella, with a sturdy structure and not bulky or too heavy. The automatic opening works well. Fanciful classy print; the white butterfly shapes auto-color upon contact with the rain. Very girly. Very good price for the quality.

I still have this umbrella and it's one of the best I have ever owned.

Kunany-Mt Wellington Explorer Bus 2-Hr Return Tour (Hobart, Tas, Australia)

This is a must if you are staying a few days in Hobart. Just the road trip to the mountain top is scenic and picturesque on its own, with really breathtaking views and some wow moments as the bus ascends through the very narrow forestie meandrous road.

There are walking and biking tracks in the surroundings that you can follow. You'll be provided with a map and can hop on/off at any of the stops. Let the drivers now that you'll be walking/cycling and when approximately you're going to go back and where you'll be catching the down bus. The bus can carry your bikes up/down if you intend to do part of the trip cycling.

The views of Hobart from the top are spectacular if the day is clear or not too cloudy. It is quite cold, so take an extra jacket.  


I wish the time at the top was a bit longer and that the latest bus departed from/to Mt Wellington a bit later, especially in summer, when there is daylight till about 8:30pm if not longer.

All the staff are really friendly. Our driver was a lovely chap, and he was truly informative without being overwhelming with his talking.

Good value for money, especially if you hop on/off.
 
A very enjoyable trip.

Jackman & McRoss Bakeries, Battery Point, Tasmania

I wish I had discovered this charming little cafe and bakery earlier during my visit of Hobart. The place is a wonderful location, a few metres away from the Salamanca Markets and the ferry to the MOMA. The space is small but very cozy and cute. The coffee, pastries and pies are wonderful. The service was super friendly. Most recommended.
