Getting published, and Schmap’ed
A while ago, a long long while ago if I recall correctly, I was contacted by a mapping company who wanted to use a photograph of mine as an illustration for the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival. I agreed back then, but totally forgot all about it.
Optus iPhone launch details!
July 11 is fast approaching. As a deposit holder, July 11 is all about you. We have some big news to share with you, so read carefully!
Sydney midnight store opening - Optus mobile customers with holding deposits only. Can’t wait to get your hands on your new iPhone 3G? To celebrate the launch of iPhone 3G, we will be opening our Optus World store at 280 George Street Sydney at 12.00am on July 11.
So if you’re planning to be in Sydney on July 11 and you’re an existing Optus Mobile Customer who left a holding deposit, you have a fantastic opportunity to be one of the first in Australia to get your new iPhone 3G.
Join us early on the yellow carpet as we camp out throughout the evening. With free food and the odd guest celebrity popping in, we’ll make your countdown to happiness as enjoyable as possible.
To be eligible, please bring with you:
- A printed copy of your deposit receipt and
- Your current Optus mobile phone service that you will be upgrading to iPhone 3G
Please remember - if you are not a current Optus Mobile customer you will not be able to be served at the midnight opening
Additional early store openings and priority queuing
If you’re in Melbourne or Brisbane, we’ll be rolling out the yellow carpet prior to the 7.00am store opening at our Chadstone store in Melbourne and our Queens St store in Brisbane. So if you can make it, join us for the countdown.
Remember, stock is strictly limited. Your holding deposit does not guarantee you an iPhone 3G on July 11. We’re expecting some long queues on the day, so plan to get there early. Based on the feedback we received from our last email correspondence, we have done our best to ensure that participating stores are available in an area that suits you.

This stylish and compact portable radio has a solar panel integrated into the top of the unit which absorbs direct sunlight in order to power the radio.

The built in rechargeable battery pack is being continuously charged whilst the radio is in direct sunlight. Once charged, the batteries will last up to 27 hours, the radio can then be used in complete darkness for this period until it will need re-charging either by sunlight or the mains adaptor.
