Yet another who missed it...and was told at work this morning.

From what little info I could get from the person at work, I've deduced it
would have been Tom Lucieer, whose collection is on display at the following
address:
37 Jubilee Avenue,
Angaston

Tom is a retired Australian National Railway worker, and has a collection of
railway artifacts as well.

Further, from the brochure of his [proudly proclaiming "as seen on getaway
channel 9"]

"
A visit to one of Australia's largest private LEGO collections is a priority
when in the Barossa Valley
...
The LEGO collection, worth about $90,000, includes almost all models
produced by LEGO, with some made as early as 1959.
...
The majority of Tom's LEGO has been purchased locally from the community
store in Nuriootpa.
"

On the brochure, it says hours are:

"
10:00 am - 5:00 pm
seven days a week, or by appointment
closed Christmas day and New years day

Ring (08) 8564 2714

A phonecall will ensure that the collection is open when you visit.
...
look for the sign at the house and ring the door bell.
"

Hope this helps anyone wanting to have a Captain Cook,

Benjamin Whytcross

I doubt the $90,000 pricetag on the collection
a case for mediawatch itself.

earlier post on  Tom Lucieer getaway appearance.

(...) Why do you doubt it? Too large? Too small? Just curious, as it didn't seem incredible (either way) to me. Kerry (22 years ago, 28-Jun-02, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.mediawatch)
