Author Topic: Tip for those visiting Melbourne (Australia) Peter Berrett Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 602 From: Victoria, Australia Registered: Nov 2000 posted 01-28-2006 03:54 AM                        Hi all I have a tip for those visiting my fair city of Melbourne Australia. Basically it concerns a good restaurant deal which I stumbled across today and which is worth knowing about. Before I go any further let me say that (1) I am not in any way associated with this restaurant so I'm not spruiking for them and (2) I read the Film-Tech rules and saw nothing in them that prohibited me about telling you about this. Anyway here we go. Up near Warrandyte which is a scenic suburb north east of Melbourne, and a former gold mining town with some interesting historical structures, there is a restaurant called Alfreds Homestead. I have been there once and found it quite pleasant. If you were going to Warrandyte to look at the old gold mining shafts and buildings you could have a pleasant lunch at the restaurant. Anyway this restaurant actions off vouchers on Ebay that you can use to pay for meals. For example tonight I purchased an $A55 voucher for $A26 ($US20). The voucher is valid for 2 adults and 1 child up to $A55. It's not a 2 for 1 deal or anything like that - basically the vouchers are as good as cash for payment of meals. There are lots of auctions for this restaurant (in multiple langauges too) so there is a good chance of getting a voucher at a really cheap price. My birthday is soon and I will be taking my in-laws there for dinner. Here is the Ebay link to their store http://stores.ebay.com/Alfreds-Homestead-Vouchers The vouchers would suit any film-techers visiting Melbourne who wanted to go out for a nice meal. Here is their website http://www.alfreds-homestead.com.au/ cheers Peter  |  IP: Logged Bill Enos Film God Posts: 2081 From: Richmond, Virginia, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 02-01-2006 07:04 PM                     Looks like a very nice place. A little too far from Va. to go for dinner though. If somebody will front me the round trip plane tickets I'll have dinner there at my own expense and write a review.  |  IP: Logged Peter Berrett Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 602 From: Victoria, Australia Registered: Nov 2000 posted 02-02-2006 02:30 AM                         |  IP: Logged
