Sound tempting? That vision is now reality at the new Oyster Bar on Darwins City Waterfront.Theres an assortment of chilled and grilled Coffin Bay Oysters to choose from, like the classic Kilpatrick to original specialties of Chilli and Grilled Cheese, or Caviar and Sour Cream.And there are plenty of other temptations on offer, from antipasto, grazing and seafood platters to Chicken Spring Rolls, Smoked Atlantic Salmon or the ever-popular Salt and Pepper Squid.Paired with an impressive selection of cocktails, premium wines and craft beers, the delicious menu and stunning views will have you coming back for more. Oyster Bar has already tasted success in Glenelg, SA and Mandurah, WA, and is sure to experience more of the same in its idyllic Territory location.Owners Jarrad and Kirsty Carter have had their eye on the waterfront site for the past two years, and were encouraged by customer

demand to bring their winning concept to the Top End.We have been very grateful to both locals and tourists who have visited us to enjoy what we have on offer, not just our food but also our wine, our level of service and our amazing view, says Kirsty.We have had a great local response to the opening and positive reactions and reviews both in store and via social media which has been really nice to settle those opening nerves.The original Oyster Bar concept was created in the heart of Adelaides CBD, and replicated at nearby Glenelg when the marina in Holdfast Shores was completed in 2001.Jarrads father bought the Holdfast Shores restaurant in 2007, and Jarrad and Kirsty soon joined the team in management roles.Jarrads dad decided he wanted to sell the business in February 2010 and Jarrad and myself loved the concept and business so much we decided to buy the business off him

and further grow and implement our ideas and passion for food and wine.

The brand grew with the opening of the Mandurah Oyster Bar in May 2011, and most recently the Darwin venue in June.The business concept and menu perfectly lends itself to beautiful waterfront locations, sensational views and a relaxing atmosphere, so we saw Darwin as the perfect place, but most importantly, we wanted to bring what we are passionate about to the Darwin Waterfront.As well as great food and wine, Oyster Bar serves up live music on Wednesday and Friday nights, and Sunday afternoons.

Peels can be adapted to suit various skin types and conditions to correct issues such as acne and congestion, stubborn pigmentation, lines and wrinkles, or to produce a vibrant more youthful looking skin.Territory Laser Clinic is the first to introduce new generation Aspect Clinical Skin Peels to Darwin. Aspect Peels are clinical strength results-orientated corrective treatments and far superior to any ordinary facial in terms of visible results. Clinical strength means these peels are only administered by fully qualified practitioners specifically educated and certified so you can rest assured that you are in excellent hands.

So youre thinking about buying your first home. Congratulations!Before you start circling houses in the property guide, you need to know how much you can afford to borrow. But your bank might not be the best place to ask.Elders Home Loans principal Katrina Parrington specialises in guiding first-home buyers through this exciting but often daunting process.

Today she shares some of her most helpful hints.

WHY CHOOSE A MORTGAGE BROKER?Elders Home Loans takes the hassle out of lending by fighting for you to get the best rate. Unlike your bank, we compare thousands of home loan options from multiple lenders to find the loan that best suits you. We have access to record low interest rates and best of all, our services

are provided at no cost to you.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER BENEFITS TO USING A BROKER?We get to know you and your situation, so we are able to provide very personalised service and make sure you are guided every step of the way. We also offer greater flexibility, so if youre credit impaired or self-

employed, we can help.

WHAT IF I JUST WANT TO ASK SOME QUESTIONS AT THIS STAGE?Thats perfectly fine! At Elders Home Loans we have a lot of first home buyers come in simply to learn about the process, understand the products on offer and begin to plan for their first home. We can follow up with you from time to time and assist you when you are ready to take

the next step.

ARE THERE ANY DISADVANTAGES OF USING A BROKER?Absolutely Not! Like with any professional service, its important to do your homework about the company you engage. Due to the growing number of brokers it can be difficult to know who is experienced and who is very new to the field. I have worked across all spectrums of the industry, from real estate to insurance, home loan and commercial finance, so I can offer buyers fantastic insights into the process and

educate them along the way.

WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO KNOW?Elders Home Loans likes to keep things simple, while also making sure you are well aware of all you need to know. We explain all the extras like loan protection insurance, conveyancing and wills, and help connect you with other trusted professionals you might need.

BUILD BY TROY BOND CONSTRUCTION HAS ONE

THING IN COMMON.


From the roof to the floor,BONDY can do it all...

Ph: 0487 686 054t roybond@y7mai l .com

We had Troy and his boys construct an outdoor kitchen last dry season. We are very happy with the result and were impressed with the efficiency, care to detail and genuine pride they have in their workmanship. Troy and the boys were onsite everyday, all day to ensure the job was completed in a timely manner. There were no delays which was excellent. Their work ethic is outstanding and we are more than happy with the result and would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a small team who genuinely care and take pride in their work. -Anna

Bondy helped us out of a bad situation that we had with a previous builder while doing some renovations to our existing home. We have found Bondy and his offsiders to be very courteous at all times with work ethic and workmanship to back it up.Bondy would also go out of his way to accommodate our needs not only in building but also on a personal level and was always there to lend a hand.My wife and I have gone through a fair few contractors within the building game in the last few years and Bondy easily comes out on top and I have no hesitation in telling our friends who want to build or do renovations to give Bondy a call.We are both very fortunate to have met and contracted Bondy and his crew to finish our home and if I haven't stated it earlier "nothing is too difficult or out of the question when dealing with Bondy!"We both wish you all the best for the future and keep being yourself which is a "hardworking, courteous and excellent tradesman" and last but not least a pleasure to work with!.Never fear, Bondy is here! -Hamish
