Q...... when is he coming to australia, .. i may be able to send him a copy of the local model train magazine ( lists all shops ) also tell him to remember that australia is a very big country and i would suggest that he concentrate on one area first.. for example queensland where i live so much to see here dont rush it..... if he is coming in our summer ( your winter ) some places are a little too hot and it is uncomfortable to travel around the top end ( darwin )....... ps did you find the coalmine info helpfull ....peter
