it it was actually not too bad- some good Aussie acts- Lloyd Spiegel in particular was fantastic - but there was a disturbing absence of vintage gear which was a little disappointing.
There aren’t any collector events down under- I was hoping we’d see some representation over the weekend.

I attended, the numbers were certainly down, also half the number of booths than previous years with the same gear as last year.
It's a real shame that a show like this aren't bigger.
The biggest issue is the cost of booths, speaking to a friend who had a stall in previous years he said it's just not a viable option for him, he'd need to sell over 5 CS guitars just to break even.
Pricing wasn't competitive either, in most cases more expensive than buying from a store.

Only gear highlights were a '59 jazzmaster that was a joy to play and trying out the kemper stage.
Where are the melbourne bursts?
