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
