Subject: Things to do in Australia & New
Zealand?
From: Patrick Finnegan
I'm going to be in Australia and then New
Zealand for most of June, and was
wondering if there was anything interesting classic computer wise to visit?
I'm planning on being in Sydney for the Australia half of the trip, and
haven't made many plans for New Zealand yet besides flying in/out of
Auckland.

...The state of classic computers perservation in Australia in general is pretty sad.
Very little in the way of organised exhibition spaces. Mostly it's just motivated
individuals, doing what they can with shoestrings and a spare room or two Otoh if you're interested in sightseeing, I can
make you a list. Around the city and out in the countryside.
Do you enjoy outdoors and walking? I can take you on a very nice day walk (or a few) near
the city. Or further out.
Also if you are adventurous I can organise some unconventional urbex experiences.

Were I in Sydney, I would spend the ~4 hours to drive to a little West of Canberra:

If you happen to go, tell them the New Horizons Payload System Engineer says hello, keep
up the great work, and thanks for all the bits!
