Hello everyone my name is Eoin, I am an 18 year old from Melbourne with a newly discovered love for analog cameras. So far I have aquired an early 90s polaroid 600 (a lot of fun), a Kodak Ektralite 10, kodak brownie flash II, and an unknown kodak folding camera (approx 1950s?). Although strictly limited by money I endeavour to expand my collection and to explore different techniques, I would appreciate any advice on film purchasing/developing in Australia. Looking forward to enjoying APUG, cheers Eoin

Hullo Eoin,

There's quite a few Melbourne & Victorian APUGers here, who will be only too willing to share useful parochial knowledge! Ask away....!

Welcome Eoin. There's a good bunch of APUGers in Melbourne who I know would be eager to help. For film purchases there is Vanbar in Melbourne but you have a few tricky cameras there when it comes to getting supplies!

G'day Eoin (now how is that pronounced?), from a fellow-Victorian presently in CHC, New Zealand.
I think a Kodak Brownie Flash II was what I tinkered with as a 5-year old, jamming my paws in it!
Film is still widely available in Melb., i.e. Michael's Camera & Video, VanBar Carlton/North Melbourne ... others too.
