It costs $50 to ship to the UK
I purchased last years LARGE format for £29 inc delivery - it seriously is worth it - there is SO much info in there - really helps when looking at suburbs to buy / rent.
The 2003 version costs $65 + $50 delivery to UK - I got the 2002 version for $75 delivered
go for it

Hi Jaykay
there really is no comparison
This is A3 with nearly 900 pages.
Also most realestate sites give you a reference.
If youre gonna splash out do it in style.
Cheers mate and good luck

My Melways is back at my Parent's house in Melbourne so I didn't want to buy another one (and the cost is ridiculous to buy another one and have it shipped here) so I compromised.
It's really for him outdoors who just wants to see where all the suburbs are and the distances from each other. He doesn't really need a Melways for that, the UBD will suffice!!
Will pick the Melways up once we're back in Melbourne

Melways is the Melbourne Bible,don't go for the inferior UBD.The majority of references given in Melbourne will be Melway map grids.
There is also a Victorian style edition of the Melways that covers every street,road & town in regional Victoria.VicRoads is what it was called a while ago.

Probably stay with the parents for a little while. They live in Kilsyth which is at the bottom of the Dandenongs.
Plan to find somewhere in that area as well, as the rest of the family all live locally, as do most of my friends there.
Will probably rent for 6 months and then look to buy a block of land and build something nice on it.
Where are you looking at?
