The Oaks Brisbane Aurora Suites is one of our favourite places to stay when in Brisbane. So it was extremely disappointing that when we made our recent booking through booking.com they decided to bill us again. The only charge to be settled was parking which was fine.

When we lived in Rockhampton our favourite Thai restaurant was Thai Tanee in Denham Street, Rockhampton. Once we relocated to the coast it was more of a “chore” to drive there.
