Hi folks, you may be interested in this report on the first Australian Hifi Show in years (by Paul Spencer). Contains some things different from what you may be used to :

Thanks for the link John. My wife has family there and we have been wanting to get out there. Maybe this will be a show to watch. Certainly a lot of nice, new equipment.

Way to go, Paul!  I'm SO tempted to go.  I've never been to Australia, but have internet buds down there and would love to visit the country.  Man, I'd visit the cities, the forests, the outback, the wineries, the water, and whatever you Aussies tell me.  But, I know it would be very expensive cause I wouldn't pack a cot and a lunch.  I'd eat the cuisine and hang with the natives.  I bet you guys have better Vietnamese than we do.
