Question for any Aussies on the board. Wife, children and I are off to Australia for 3 weeks in March and was wondering if anyone can point me in teh direction of any good record shops in Sydney and Brisbane? I know someone mentioned Utopia on another thread, are there any others? Also do you know of any good websites to check out live music venues/events etc? Thanks all.http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926754,926754#msg-926754Mon, 20 May 2013 03:07:59 +1000 Phorum 5.2.16 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926754,926986#msg-926986 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926754,926986#msg-926986
Like I said, it is a VERY expensive place when travelling on pounds right now.

Good luck.

£7/pint??!! Looks as if it will be a sober stay!

Thanks again.]]> daveydaveydavo NoticeboardWed, 16 Jan 2013 00:56:43 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926754,926868#msg-926868 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926754,926868#msg-926868
And you'd be mad not to check a number of JB H-Fi stores throughout Brisbane and Sydney (there's a few, find one and ask where the rest are), as they always have an amount of specials on the reduced table but many you will simply find at a great reduced price on the standard Hard Rock / Metal racks. I came home from Brisbane recently with a dozen new albums both oldies and newer for what I consider bargain cost ;)]]> Wardy NoticeboardTue, 15 Jan 2013 12:12:07 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926754,926780#msg-926780 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926754,926780#msg-926780 david shaw NoticeboardTue, 15 Jan 2013 05:42:01 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926754,926763#msg-926763 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926754,926763#msg-926763
If u are coming over from the UK, the one thing u really need to be prepared for is the cost of things. Australia is expensive anyway but at the current exchange rate, spending converted pounds here is pant shittingly pricey!! Just be prepared mate because most people just don't realise how expensive it is......e.g. around £7 a pint etc.

I am in WA now but have been around over here a fair bit. Feel free to contact me privately for any further info.
