This one looks pretty big http://news.lugnet.com/loc/au/?n=13277 (I must try to
check it out one year). And there are many smaller shows across Australia each
year.

Well, that's another good question. From the feedback we received at our first
small show, I'd say "bigger than we thought", but couldn't put a number on it. I
feel sure it could be serviced much better by LEGO Australia though, for example
the 4512 cargo train has been available here for a couple of years, but never
gone on clearance. Many "mundanes" baulk at the $275 price tag.
But we're trying to do our little bit ;)
