Great Vietnamese food, and just under Aldi on Waratah St. Their Pho is great, as is their vermicelli salads. My fave drink there is the dirty coconut coffee drink.

Arts & Culture
Called “The Gully”
Indigenous cultural sacred site, was stollen from the Aboriginal people and made into a raceway which has now been reclaimed as it should be by the local Indigenous people and nature is starting to grow back. A good walk as well as a cultural experience. 5 mins walk through the bush at the end of my street (past the culdesac) and across the road to the Gully.
