👍👍 The old Western Golf Course - a beautiful oasis surrounded by suburbia. We've walked it every day for 26 years and there's always something to see. Over these old fairways buzzards lord the skies, circling endlessly. A rich diversity of wildlife and fauna have made this their home. As the last remai...

Hindu temple
🫤 Beautiful temple, totally agree with the reviews where people say it’s very peaceful. I would definitely recommend you visit this place. But please be wary of the main priest there.

Aquarium shop
😐 Was passing for work so stopped in as I usually like to do when I visit a new city, was quite disappointed to be honest from my perspective but can see that it may be useful for locals to pick up some things on their doorstep or get advice but the coral trays were really uninspiring there was not a...
