Melbourne "Apple" Sighting

Even as Apple continues construction on its first south-of-the-equator retail store on George Street in Sydney (Australia), another sighting of "Apple" appeared in January, 2008 at the Chadstone Shopping Center in the suburbs of Melbourne.

The word "Apple" appeared on the side of a white construction barricade on the ground-floor level next to Nike Women, along with the notation "coming soon,"--all looking very official. The space is at a major cross-hall within the mall, which is undergoing a major $88 million renovation.

Thanks to Jedda and Matthew for photos of the location, who notes that an authorized Apple reseller is directly downstairs from this space.

The space with the "Apple" is on the ground floor, with Nike Women on one side and an access hallway on the other. It appears to be at least 35-feet wide.

These photos were taken by Matthew in May, 2008, and show an all-black construction barricade.
