          G'Day folks,
Well Australia survived the Y2K bug, with no problems happening down here. Though by the way old stock from Mattel is appearing, maybe they
had problems with their computers. Only a few people around Australia have been lucky enough to find 1 or 2 of the new boxes. Also Matchbox have brought out a bus celebrating the Sydney 2000 Olympics. This bus is yellow about 6 inches long, with the characters from this year's Olympics on the side. It sells for $9.95 which is about $6 US. If anyone needs this
picked up for them, just email. Onto the finds.
