Apple has thrown its retail dart at the huge continent of Australia, and it’s landed on…Robina? Participants on the MacTalk forum have confirmed that an Apple store will open at the Robina Town Centre on the eastern Gold Coast of the continent, about 50 miles south of Brisbane. The region was formerly swampland, but in 1980 a Hong Kong businessman began the long process to build a planned community there with a full range of residential space, offices and amenities. The shopping center is along the M1 highway, and has its own rail station, which helps attract shoppers from a wide region. The mall is finishing a huge expansion area, where Apple will locate by June, 2009.
