I have recently tried this product and I am happy to say it is really yummy. also, my kids love it too. This cereal is something that we get on a regular basis now. plus it is alot cheaper than other brand names and tastes just as good. people should give it a go.
Not only is this cereal good value for money when compared to what else is out there on the market, it doesn’t taste like cardboard. The whole family loved this and it was lucky to last a week in our house. We stock up on this everytime it’s on special.
This cereal taste great.i was never sure to try it as i have tried other cheaper brands and they were not nice so i stuck with saltana bran.but now i only buy the woolworths brand.it has a itgreat taste and its got plenty of saltana its a must try and buy you won’t be disappointed
I only got a bowl of the cereal because my 4-yr-old gobbled it up before I could have anymore! She especially loved the crunch of the flakes, and liked the ratio of flakes to sultanas. I liked the maltiness of the flakes a lot and it’s now on our ‘staple’ shopping list.
I love Select Sultana Bran cereal. Ii have it for breakfast and in the middle of the night. Have always liked the taste and the fact that it is healthy. At times I have eaten it without milk as a snack. I like that you can buy it in really big boxes to save money.
I love this for brecky, it keeps me going till lunch, i have given it 6 ticks of approval

Our box of cereal arrived on Thursday afternoon, opened it for breakfast Friday morning and managed to scrape up one more bowl for breakfast for myself this morning! I have four kids aged 14, 11, 10 & 8 – it was a huge hit with them – they loved it and so did I! I would have liked a few more sultanas but overall I thought it was delicious and extremely good value for money and will definately be buying thus product again!
i dont usally start my day with breakfast but this taste really reallt really good and it has encourged me to start my day with a tasty breakfast it leaves me feeling full for longer and gives me the energy to run around with my two very hyper active beautiful childern
Woolworths Select Great Start Bran & Sultana Cereal is definitely cheaper than other brands of cereal offering a similar product.
In saying that however, the taste was not just there. The flakes almost tasted like cardboard, and it wouldn’t hurt if more sultanas were added.
Even though Woolworths Select Great Start Bran & Sultana Cereal is less expensive than others, I’d rather pay a little bit more for a product that I actually enjoy.
I bought this as it looked ok, and I thought that I would try and rein in the family budget a little, however my boys did not like it, they told me it was disgusting, I did not try it myself, certainly the price point was why I purchased it but having to throw it out negated that choice, they said that the flakes were chewy and nothing like the other cereals that they normally had, one had a nut or fruit piece that was to hard to chew, I do not think that they quality of ingredients are as good as most Woolies products that I have tried, I can only go on the advice from my adult sons, the price was great, but they did not like the taste, the ingredients seem to be of low quality and therefore poor value for money overall, I would not purchase again.
I transfer my cereal into plastic containers. This morning hubby grabs what he thinks is sultana bran and proceeds to eat. After he’s had a few mouthfuls he simply states “this isn’t sultana bran.” Woolworths Select Great Start Bran & Sultana Cereal needs to improve for me to buy again. The flakes are bit like cupboard and there’s not nearly enough sultans. Not a great substitute for similar type cereals.
Woolworths Select Great Start Bran and Sultana Cereal is pretty bland however you can jazz it up by adding extra fruit yourself. Not overly fussed on this cereal, I could easily take it or leave it. I really don’t think I would buy woolworths Select Great Start Bran and Sultana Cereal again, maybe if they added more sultanas, not many in the pack.
We brought this cereal from Woolworth 3 months back, initially we did not like that much, but slowly slowly we liked it.but it is very sweet on one side,, but it seems healthy as well, the kids like the sultanas in those.. it is fat free and it is great source of iron. Quality is good, but not suitable for daily breakfast as it is very sweet. but can have this occasionally
Quality of ingredients are good…
Woolworths Select Great Start Bran and Sultana Cereal is only oaky. It’s not outstanding, a bit light on the sultanas, and the flakes are missing that crunch. Saying that, you can make it better by adding some chopped banana or strawberries however, I don’t think I would bother buying this product again.
so this cereal is nice but i don’t know if they have just changed something but my cereal is a little different/ the bran flakes are more like cardboard and not really much flavour any more. i add extra fruit to mine and this helps it taste nicer. the rest of the cereal is the same as always. this is also a great night time snack to have and probably still a lot better than other snack options.
I tried Woolworths Select Great Start Bran & Sultana cereal as an alternative to Sultana Bran and you could tell that it wasn’t of the same quality. The bran flakes are a bit cardboardish and there are no way near enough sultanas! I don’t like buying a cereal where you have to add extra sultanas and fruit and let it sit before it is nice to eat. The price might be cheaper than the alternative and there’s an obvious reason why. If they had filled it with plump, juicy sultanas it would have tasted better.
My normal cereal was not there so I thought I would try this.
this cereal was pretty nice but I had to add more sultanas to it as there did not seem to have enough off them in it. I had to give it an extra minute to soak up the milk as the cereal did seem to take a little bit longer to absorb the milk. Was a ok buy but would not be in a hurry to buy it again
this cereal was pretty nice and i always add bananas or some type of fruit with it. I had to give it an extra minute to soak up the milk as the cereal did seem to take a little bit longer to absorb the milk. i thought that it tasted pretty nice. I would have liked to see it a little cheaper to buy.
Normally I am a sultana bran girl, but having read these reviews I decided to try it. It did taste a tiny bit stale, and not as many sultanas as I would have liked, but once I microwaved it and tossed in a handful of extra sultanas it was quite passable.
We really enjoyed this cereal. Kids loved the taste too. And they are very picky eater. Will definitely buy it again and recommend it to any mum out their who simply wants healthy food for her family. Thanks
I regularly buy the original Great Start, which the whole family loves, and decided to get the Bran and Sultana for a change. The whole family enjoyed the Bran and Sultana but we prefer the original Great Start. The bran is delicious, but there’s not enough sultanas for our liking.
I have been buying these for awhile. Very nice and a great alternative to the more expensive brand names. They have recently changed the packaging though (and maybe shrunk the size)

The School Holiday Crowd-Pleasers That Never Fail
School holidays are usually a mix of excitement and mild panic. No lunchboxes (yay!) and no morning chaos. But figuring out how to keep the kids entertained without turning the house upside down or testing your sanity is the flip side!
We’re serving up a couple of fabulous winter school holiday options that are tried-and-true crowd-pleasers – and they feel like a day out for everyone, not just the kids.
Whether you’ve got little ones bouncing off the walls or teens too cool to smile, Zone Bowling and Timezone have something for every age (yes, even you). And with winter weather keeping us mostly indoors, they’re the perfect solution when parks and play centres just aren’t cutting it.
They’re fun, indoors, great value, and actually make you feel like you’ve had a proper day out… not just one of those ‘I need a nap after that’ outings.
Why Zone Bowling And Timezone Always Come Through
There’s something about Timezone that just hits different. The mix of lights, sounds and excitement pulls you in from the second you walk through the doors. You’ll find the latest arcade games, laser tag and bumper cars as well as viral sensations like Pixel and Colourgrid. Basically everything kids could want, all in one (warm) place.
And it’s not just for them. Whether you’re a closet arcade expert or a skill tester freak, it’s very easy to get swept up in the excitement.

Zone Bowling: So much more than just bowling
If you haven’t been to a Zone Bowling in a while, you might be surprised by just how much they’ve packed in. Of course, there’s bowling, with proper shoes and shiny lanes and that satisfying sound of a strike – but that’s just the beginning.
There’s also arcade games, laser tag, food and drink (decent coffee!), plus comfy spaces to hang while the kids run wild. It’s the kind of place where everyone – toddlers, teens, tired parents – can find something to enjoy.

Timezone And Zone Bowling: Kind of Day Out That Doesn’t Feel Like a Chore
Some school holiday outings sound fun in theory, but in practice? You’re exhausted, the kids are cranky, and no one’s really had a great time.
Timezone and Zone Bowling feel different. You’re indoors, warm, everything’s in one place, and you can actually relax while the kids entertain themselves (or team up with you for a round of laser tag). No weather worries, no logistics nightmare. Just good, clean, high-energy fun that ticks everyone’s box.
Ready to swap screen battles for smiles all round? Timezone and Zone Bowling make it happen, every single time – rain, hail or shine. Bring on the holiday fun!
My kids love timezone but I must admit that I am the worse one playing those games there too hahahaha just so much fun but you gotta be careful not to go over the top on those games as they can add up to a load of money being spent
Zone Bowling and Timezone have been a go-to for us too. My kids love going bowling, it’s something we can all enjoy together (plus it wears them out 😂). I also love that we don’t need to book ahead, which makes spontaneous outings so much easier! We’ll be going again right before the school term starts again.
I love places like these but oh boy, its costly. Yeah things like $60 gives you xx amount bonuses but still, $60 is a lot for some families. So going to Timezone is a very rare treat
Yeap school holidays. Best part is sleeping in but trying to find activities for the kids is hard..
Yes there is some great places out there like Timezone but really, who has that kind of money if U have a few kids…
So really what can we do with our kids that doesn’t cost a fortune every time you step out the door !
The kids love going to Timezone, especially after being dragged around the shopping center! With 5 years between them it can be hard to find things they both enjoy but Timezone keeps them both happy, occupied and entertained! It’s also a great way to bribe them while we shop 😂
Our family loves Timezone and kingpin. Theres always so much to do and always new games and toys to try out. It can definitely be costly though as you keep tapping away! We love the unlimited time play packages and often enjoy topping up on those special double dollar days to stretch it further.
We will happily be off to visit Timezone during the holidays for some fun times. We all have favourite games to play. It is such a good idea to stick to a budget when visiting Timezone. Planning before going to Timezone is a good idea and helps to make good decisions and the fun last.
It is absolutely so true! We went to our local timezone yesterday to reward some brave behaviour at the dentist and kick off our holiday fun. We had an absolute blast! The games had all been revamped and there was new stuff everywhere. The prizes are okay.. not great! The price to points could be more kindly proportioned. I mean 1000’s of points for a bag of lollies… Cost us a fortune to get them. Not at all as cost effective for a lot of people. I can only ever afford to get $60 at most and am so grateful for the bonus points at least. But when you consider it as $2.50 min per swipe of your card, you’ll burn through it within the hour. Still, we’ll be back for more joy!
IN fact my husband took the kids bowling today while I was off doing something else – it was a great solution. They had an enourmous amount of fun, it didn’t cost too much, and the timing was just about perfect for my appointment. It’s definitely a great family activity. So Fun.
We really do love going to Timezone for all of the fun activities that we all enjoy playing. Bowling is a firm family favourite activity to play and brings out the competition in all of us. It is a good option for indoor activities and fun for all of the family.
Finding holiday activities is always difficult, especially with teens! Life is so busy that it can be really hard to even think about where to go and what to do, these ideas are going on my list for this holidays entertainment. Thanks Mouth of Mums for making my life easier
Unfortunately, we don’t have anything that good here in Tassie. Our local bowling centre is very expensive and doesn’t have all the extras of some others. They do do school holiday specials though which are okay, but they don’t allow guard rails for adults anymore, so it’s not very fun for me :(.
Another nice one for those who live in Brisbane is Urban Extreme; an ultimate experience of rock climbing, dodge ball, ski lanes, snowboarding, ninja, parkour, laser tag, trampolines, play area and an adventure park all together. With what they offer there is always something also the older kids and possibly parents like
Things like Bounce, Time Zone and Zone Bowling never fail for most, but they are not for everyone; the mix of lights, sounds and excitement can be a massive sensory overload for those who are sensitive for that which can lead to complete panic attacks by some kids. Besides this not everyone likes bowling (we have one family member who really doesn’t like this)
We head to timesone whenever we go near the Gold coast or Sunshine Coast. The kids have the absolute best time. I have not taken the kids bowling in a long time but it is my birthday this week so think it is a fantastic time to give it a go!
Our family loves Timezone!! We definitely call ourselves regulars throughout the year. A great time where we can test our skill at claw machines and have a blast with the kids. My daughter’s favourite is driving me around on the racing game – definitely core memories unlocked! Its so fun all the time.
My kids do enjoy Zone bowling- we’re regular visitors even during term time. And it’s fun for everyone in the family and it’s easy to invite a friend or two to join in if you’re so inclined. Not hard to learn if you’re a b3ginner – and you don’t need equipment either.
Bowling is such a fun thing to do for school holidays with kids, I even picked it as my 10 year birthday treat. Timezone is a classic day out. I remember when the photo booth stickers were new and everyone’s diary was covered in them. We have a carnival in town over the holiday break so that’s out plan! Free entry, woo
Kids love school holiday’s but my credit card doesn’t!!!!! I love Zone bowling, it is such a fun place to take the kids too. My daughter loves to bowl and finish off playing a few games afterwards. I am yet to take her to Timezone but it is on our list to try this year.
