Default Melways Street Directory Melbourne

Hi potential Melbournites,

Does anyone know where I can buy a copy of Melways Greater Melbourne Street Directory (Edition 30)?????

I can only find it on Melways site in Oz.

Problem is I'm not happy paying $50 for postage and packing on top of $45 for the atlas.

Anyone found a source in the UK???

Cheers mates, Nick. (Boo's tight-fisted Hubba)

Hi Booboo

Sorry i`ve had no joy i have looked on a few sites that i use but i can`t find anything.

Could you possibly ask someone already in Melbourne to purchase it and send it over to you, and just send them over a cheque or something??

Hope you have some luck finding it.

Looks like you will get your own way then by waiting till you arrive in Melbourne.

I can't for the life of me remember which one shop it was, but I have seen this in either Borders or Waterstones.

I have a feeling it was Waterstones. Try your local Waterstones - I'm sure that if they don't have it they will order it for you.

Nick, cant help with buying it in the UK, but if you want to look at areas & generally look at maps before you get there try Whereis .

Try Charing X road in London although you might pay as much as the shipping for your train ticket.

Hi Booboo,

If it can help, you can always look at this online street directory until you get the book http://www.street-directory.com.au/m...aliasearch.htm

Cheers,
