Take the bus from downtown Sydney to Coogee, you will see it on the main road leading down the hill to Coogee shops. Its on the right hand side from the water. There are 4 guitar shops on that bus route to Coogee. So keep your eyes peeled. You may get off early.

I alway visit these guy and spend $$. They have a monster Collection of old pedals as well. they tend to be in the second hand market. You won't get a new Mexi Strat there. But they sell new Gibson and have at least 20 in stock at any time.
Good luck.

Like I said they are more SHM than new. When I was in there they had a great selection of 1980s basses.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to contradict you on the 'oldies'. The Ultra I mentioned above has only been available in Australia for a year or two (I bought one new last October) and the SH price stood out like the proverbial dog's b*lls.
