Leaving Adelaide for Melbourne 6am tomorrow, aiming for late breakfast at the Nhill bakery, worth it?

Pity you weren't going next weekend when there's actually some decent games, you could keep an eye on my lad.
You really do pick the shittest weekends to go to Melbourne these days old man.

That was the idea but one travels for work & the other starts a plumbing course in August, so take what we can, good just to get away with the boys while we can.
Would have saved on accommodation Matt & Nick could have lived in the cass & meet us at the footy.
The QB game should be a belter though.

How much do people generally pay for kids to have a check-up at the dentist? (If not bulk-billed)

Took my 7 and 9 year old on Tuesday, both in the chair for about 15 minutes each - Quick clean, quick polish, chuck some Fluoride on. Bill came to $367 (Private health covered $220). Is this normal, or am I needing to change dentists?

I actually thought kids dental work was free through the government. I’m sure my wife doesn’t pay when she goes but that is just the standard check up etc. We are on no health card or anything so cannot be from that.

Braces cost us a fortune though

Surely it’s cheaper to just buy a belt

200-300 odd job in winter, but over 400 in summer 2 of us plus a toddler but a fair bit of lawns

Can anyone recall if the old Essendon ground, Windy Hill, ran East to West?

Looking at Google maps it looks E/W to me... cricket pitch runs N/S

Nope, definitely East/West

[DOC]

Thanks. Perhaps the only major footy ground to run that way then.

I think of Thebarton as being east-west, but after having looked on Google Maps, it's more SW-NE.

Thebby is like Prospect.

Difficult to play on (against the home side) until you get used to it.

MCG, Subiaco and the new Optus stadium in Perth are all East/West

I was working on Napier street basically running North/South. Year ago I took my son to the ground and into the muesem there.

Thanks Jim. Sun in the eyes must have been a big problem at Windy Hill.

Napier Street runs North/South but as someone who has attended many games there and still do occasionally I can assure you the ground runs East/West
