If you are flying premium economy Qantas allows 2 bags at 7kgs each, but basic economy is just 1 x 7kgs,

I found Qantas to be rather flexible, I have used them a number of times and as long as the bag is dimensionally correct they let it through, I have carried 11kgs into the cabin without any problems.

Qantas and Virgin are also quite good if you are flying domestically but avoid Jetstar and Tiger, they are Nazi's when it comes to luggage weight.

Where abouts are travelling in Aust?? If I can help you help you out with anything let me know. cheers

It would appear from the website that although on the lens selection screen under Pentax mount it lists it as HSM, when you get into the lens page it specifies the non-HSM version in a Pentax mount.

I could be wrong though.
You are correct Rob, thats the one that has been discontinued I believe. I don't think they have announced a replacement as yet.

Mike are you reviewing your pics more when using the macro.
Constantly using the LCD screen will run your battery down. I do it all the time, zooming in and out, checking the Histogram, comparing pics all play a part.

So how does it work Ken,: when a cyclist is in the chequered area does the traffic have to give way to them :

I think you are mistaken Stefan, we are on the right side and you are on the wrong side
That would be great! No, the cycle lane is supposed to protect cyclists and it is the little red area at the top left corner of the chequered area, it has a crashed bike painted on it.

The chequered area means you shouldn't enter it unless you can get out the other end, unless you are turning right. A scene you seldom see!
ahhh I see it now, lol its cute. If they ever bring the Tour de France into your neck of the woods perhaps they could incorporate that little stretch into the race, now that would be a sight too see
