Whilst there is a full blown restaurant here, on today's visit I sampled a Bento Box for a late lunch. Their service is swift and efficient and certainly no fuss.

Lunch value is good and there are a lot of options. Tasty and quick. You can also get take away. There are steam buns also

There are plenty of long tables to cater for large groups.
Plenty of seating inside and out.

Staff are friendly though it may be difficult to get their attention. They will allow split bills.

China Bar has been around for a long time at various locations. This particular restaurant offers roast meats - duck, chicken, pork and Chinese sausage - noodles and other rice dishes, as well as dumplings.

Keep a look out for specials such as buy a roast duck and receive a free half roast chicken, buy 2 dishes and receive a 3rd for free...

Parking at the rear is shared with another restaurant next door.

Great walking track from the back of the Australian war memorial to the top of mount Ainslie. It is shaded for most parts, so good on warm sunny days. The path is sealed with some steps in some sections.

Take note that it can be busy with many walkers and runners. There are many other alternative walking tracks that commence from the same location and lead around Mt Ainslie and to the summit. You can even progress to Mt Majura also. Those paths are not sealed and is a mixture of fire trails and narrow paths.

Parking is along the street and also at the war memorial and the local school.

Located at the South west end of Tunstall Square shopping precinct, East Alley Dumpling and Beer restaurant serves a variety of Chinese and Malaysian dishes.

Some dishes are great and with good texture and flavour. Some of the dishes are a bit creative and if you're looking for a traditional dish you may be disappointed. Eg. San choy bao had sweet corn and mayo. There's also a shredded potato dish is super hot chillis.

Often busy and noisy, with staff preoccupied. You may need to draw their attention if you need something.
