Australia and all
Greetings
Just got back from Australia and boy are my arms tired..... What a long way it is from here.
I just wanted to say that no matter where you go in the world, car guys are always the greatest people to hang around with. I encourage everyone to go over to OZ and check it out - even with obstacles that make our DMV rules a joke, these guys persevere and build some really beautiful cars over there. This is a great fraternity and I am honoured and humbled to be a member of it.
Here's Bernie and I in Melbourne...

I think the Elizabeth Towers is on the corner of Flemington Rd and Elizabeth Steets. About 1/2 mile from the centre of Melbourne.
When I left it was a sunny and mild 18c (66f).
Look without being critical of the Phillip Island penguin parade, I feel that you get a better look at the penguins close up at the Melbourne Zoological gardens just nearby.
The zoo is within walking distance of the Flemington Rd. The zoo is about a 1 and 1/2 mile walk across the park behind the Childrens Hospital.
Phillip Island is a $50+ bus trip and then admission to the Penguin Parade. You sit on a concrete step under flood lights and watch the penguins leave the ocean and walk up to their holes. From a distance of about 30 - 40 yards.
Just my $0.02 worth. Perhaps some other Aussies my chime in here.

Airport tourist type shops are around $250 or so.
I did see some in a Melbourne art supplier shop at nearly half.
Additionally some of the bigger hotels/motels have tourist type shops attached.
Perhaps "Post" a "Thread" on the Australian site and I'm sure someone will have both a price and a location in Melbourne.
