There is a lot more than just an Apple store to see. A separate travel log would be fun. Gary,

We gave away 500 at the launch but dissapointed a few more people.. We need to get another 200 atleast before we can do another run. Cheers Ananth Hi All,

It's pretty impressive. I will tell you that the photo is a huge composite of 10 photos, and that Apple's design team spent <strong>many</strong>, <strong>many</strong> hours retouching it--late into the night--so it could be ready before the grand opening. Kudos to them! The full resolution version of Apple’s Sydney store photo is available through the Apple PR Web page, and downloads as a TIFF file of almost 7 Mb. It’s pretty impressive.

However there seems to have been some late design changes that delayed the opening. Apple totally missed the Center's Grand Open House Celebration, their advertising push for the reopening after the upgraded construction is mostly finished. The biggest delay is the outside facing and the glass.

The streetlight shows twice and the right side of the adjacent building (that holds the McDonald's sign) is no longer vertical - it has a big jagged edge! The editing is pretty poor, too.

THey're not passing on the savings that Aussies should enjoy owing to the strong AUD. I might as well have a relative buy me a machine in the US and have that shipped over or I wait until my trip there and buy the thing myself. Apple is a big rip-off merchant Down Under.
