Well it isn’t Australian, but we always seem to commandeer all the good stuff from NZ and call it ours.

Widely believed to be the first 4-8-2s ever built, these were built for use on the north island of New Zealand in the early 1900s.



Enjoy!

Although more people applying would be nice to see, the real requirement is better people applying.

Cheers

   Dear Jake,

I am not trying to attack a faceless monster here, I am responding to Lenny’s claims that you guys were personally being in some way harrassed/ attacked/ asserted against in my original post. I believe that you love your job enough to do what your company would prefer and if they HAD said to concentrate on NA/Europe I suspect you would have done so. Now that you have said the reasons were otherwise I can lay the blame solely at your feet :P

Thank you for taking the time to explain that there was little geographical bias and I hope that next time you will find a suitable candidate from the other parts of the world.

Yours,

Tim

Whoops! Sorry to reply to myself, I set the followupto, not X-post. Stupid me!

At long last it has arrived (no months shown, but I GUESS it's from
June-December...How embarrasing for a company to have a catalogue of its items
appear 2 months late.[1])

425.8472-UK/Asia
104 pages...This time ALL sets are shown, not just new ones.

Front cover:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=857669

Interesting items...
Misc:
Knights' Kingdom watch (page 102) with new(?) torso and old style, fized visor
helmet in dark grey (or bley?)

Software:
PC, PS1,2, X-Box STAR WARS game due summer 2005 (winter in Aus?)
PS2, PS1?, X-Box LEGO Racers CC (?) due christmas (page 100)

The catalogue was from K-Mart, Northland (no pirate sets on shelves)...The
bigger store near me (Cambelfield) had the pirate sets, but only old catalogues.

[1]  Then again, have they EVER released a catalogue in Australia as close to
it's listed time as this? This would have to be the closest in the last few
years at least.

Thought it may be of intrest...
