  • fabulous product!

    This is a great product. I carry it with me everywhere, all together with cords and login details in a sunglasses case in my handbag.
    I have tried other companies, like Vodafone and Optus. Telstra is the more expensive out of them all, but definitely is worth it because it has coverage just about every where!

  • So useful for keeping on top of life while on the go

    We had to purchase a 3G version while we were moving house as my husband was working and setting up his home office while we were waiting for services to be connected and it was so useful. After we had used it for the gap in our internet coverage it sat around til we had a holiday and then IT WAS A GODSEND! I could still access our online accounts with our tablet and emails and check local hotspots while we were out and about. It was so useful that we took it everywhere and now we’ve upgraded to the 4G version and it’s even faster and still comes everywhere :D

  • Saves time with such a fast internet connection!

    We have been Telstra customers for many years now. They are well known for their excellent reception in even the poorest of reception areas and have always been incredibly reliable. Now with the portability of their Mobile WiFi 4G Device and convenience of being able to connect five devices to the one mobile hotspot they truly do make everyday internet use even easier, faster and even more flexible. Telstra truly have excelled themselves with this device!

    My family and I use this everyday. Great coverage in a rural area and we don’t need to fight anymore over who is going to use the computer for the internet. I am also able to take it with me on the road and it covers my every needs.

    Attended a holiday timeshare presentation. Was great to be able to take the IPad & check our membership details during a recent owner timeshare presentation. In the past we would write the info, race home & try to temember what we were supposed to do. Fast download speed!!!!

  • Not amazing.

    It’s great to have something such as Internet avaialble via a small little device that is portable, however I have found that the battery does not last long at all and when being used, someone downloading something etchin it chews through the battery morel the batter seems to last about 4hours for us max so as much as it is portable etc it isn’t good for long trips. It is really easy toget it up and started and connect. If anything it needs to come with a car charger or have a better battery.

  • Fantastic for On The Go

    This device is fantastic. The network coverage and the ease of use is one of the biggest bonuses. Its great to be able to access the internet at faster speeds (rather than chewing up mobile phone data). Great for on the go people, or anyone who needs to be online while they are away from the home!

  • Internet on the go, great innovation

    I was fortunately given this little device by Telstra due to the excessive length of time it was taking to fix our internet connection at home, I was a little hesitant as I am not tech savvy, however it was easy to connect all the laptops in the home to it, you can also take it with you when you go out, so the mobility of it is fantastic, My sons took it with them when they went out to a friends and thought it was great, I think that for anyone who uses their laptop or tablets away from the home or office it is fantastic, it worked well, it had fast speed, easy to connect, only problem I can see is that it is expensive to recharge as it is mobile. if the cost was to come down I think it would be better, but it is a great product.

    No good if you have heaps of email with attachments or anything you need to upload or download – as it chews the data and becomes more expense than what its worth. Probably better turning your automatic updates off

  • handy

    I got this because I get no internet on my mobile down the street, it works brilliantly. I have Adsl2 at home so it is only used down street but that is what it was bought for and it does it’s job great. I do think it could do with a little longer battery time though. It works a lot better then the Vodafone dongle however it is more expensive especially when you already have dial up at home and only use it for down street. For those on a budget it would work oout cheaper to get adsl2 at home if you didn’t require it down the street. Otherwise it’s good reception.

  • Great!

    I bought the Telstra Mobile Wi-Fi 4G Device when I had an extended hospital stay and it’s fantastic. I had access to the internet on my laptop without any dropouts and the signal strength was good all of the time. It took a little bit to set up but once its set up its so easy to click and connect. Love being mobile and still having access to the internet and my emails. Highly recommend this device and the carrier Telstra.

    easy to set up and great accessibility and signal strength. it connects to devices pretty quickly which is great.

  • Good product - not great plans

    I love the product itself but feel that Telstra lets it down by the plans (pre and post paid) that accompany it. It would be great if they offered one of these with a larger down load limit so that families could use it as their all in one internet provider as opposed to having to have a landline connected as well.

    Our fixed broadband usage was different every month and the bill was driving my nuts so I looked in this little device. It has been a fantastic change! Comes with us on our weekends away and what Mr 16 calls
    Boring family days so he always has his iPad . Love the prepaid option as I feel I am more in control of the spend and usage and the speed and coverage is fantastic. So glad I made the change won’t be bothering a fixed Internet connection again.

    We recently went on holidays and used the wi-fi device for ease. It was also great to make sure we didn’t use the hotels wi-fi which costs a fortune. I would certainly do this again next time we go on holidays. Easy and a must to put on your holiday packing list.

First we have the High-school Child and their homework and then two primary school aged getting on via mobile phone or the xbox and add this computer and another mobile this little machine can keep everybody happy!

Article Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

Sandhurst

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Sandhurst

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

How To Put Together A Charcuterie Board 

Sandhurst article image

There are no right or wrong ways to create a charcuterie board, but to ensure a balance of textures and flavours try to include:

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

    Reply

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.

    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)

      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.

  • The simplest way to entertain.

  • I love the looks of different finger foods. I don’t think it is hard to put something together and I had many afternoons hanging out with many mums and all the children at the Cul the sac we then lived. At times I had 8 mums coming with over 40 kids. Many sweet memories indeed

  • Charcuterie Boards and Antipasto boards are so good. I love them, i love the variety of foods you can put on them and they are so great for entertaining and enjoying with family or friends. It is something i like to make whenever i have friends over as you can enjoy and pick away while you are catching up. Great entertaining option.

  • I absolutely adore an antipasto spread. There’s nothing better than having a colourful plate of charcuterie and antipasto shared with loved ones. I grew up with my Mum making the most lush, long table of nibblies on celebrations and it’s something that my siblings and I carry on today. It brings us all together.
