melbournebetta Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Hy. I'm going to Sydney for a few days (could be 3, could be 5 not sure yet) to work on a commissioned mural... however I'm hoping I might have a day or two either side to "prepare" the wall and basically wait for paint to dry. If you know me, you'll have half a clue that I use any opportunité in a new environment to locate and destroy all good LFS stores. Basically I'm keen to find out if y'all have any suggestions for LFS in central Sydney... or kinda close, that I might get public transport to? There's also a chance I might have a vintage Jag at my disposal (don't ask) so if I can jump start the mongrel I might be able to get out a bit further. Thoughts? Suggestions? Things worth saying about fish that are about fish that I should search and destroy? The end x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Go visit Yan at Auburn, it's a good store, there's another one that's supposed to be great, aquarama or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Nut Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 I think Aquaristic is good? Not sure where it is or whether it is a quality LFS or not, but they have a very flash looking website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Aquaristic, that's it, I've seen photos, it's a fantastic shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 St George. Fantastic but might be a bit far. :-(. Have a great time Ness. See if you can get one in Brissie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davo Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 St George has closed down.. u r more then welcome to come around and see my fishroom if you are interested ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 St George closed down a while ago, before I ever got around to having a peak. Aquaristic is supposed to be great, although I haven't gotten out there yet. One day. *mwhaha* Auburn is my fav, not really central though. That's where Yanny works. When will you be here? And where is this wall mural going? Must make a note to go visit it someday. Would love to see the amazing art of Ness in person! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zui Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Let us know when your in town and might be able to organise some transport for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNgo2006 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) Yeh St George was the best aquarium ever! They even had arowanas for sale! Which I purchased (and then 1 yr later it knocked the lid off the tank and committed suicide) but it really depends what type of fishies are you looking for ness? Betta's I presume? Then for quality betta's HM, Giants, etc. I recommend the one at Flemington (bit pricey though but damn they are nice fish! At least when I last visited a few weeks back) I think it is called Sydney Discus World Aquarium as you can catch the train to Flemington station and it is like a 5min walk, also if you go on Sunday you can visit the Haymarkets as well and get crap for real cheap! and of course another pricey place is Aquaristic Aquarium. Hope you have fun visiting our great city of Sydney! Edited August 2, 2012 by Chi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournebetta Posted August 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 WOAH! Go team! Some great suggestions and kind offers there peeps. Apparently I'm getting flown out to do a mural at an izakaya resturant, proof's in the plane ticket - but sussing out before I go... so sorry Sarah, not sure it'll be a performance piece like the stripeT one. thanks for all the offers and suggestions, I'll do some research and check out prices on car rentals et al. How good would it be to arrive at Auburn and be a pain in the A$$ customer for madam Yan.... or best. customer. ever. MY FAVORITE. oh. my god... i'm totally going to have to do this. fingers crossed the architects have good taste eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Go and visit Yan and PLEASE be the pain in the a** customer. I love reading about it on FB. LMAO. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) Ness, judging from the customers Yan normally gets, I think you'd be the best one! Do ask if she "has any chips". Do let us know details when you get them. Shame it may not be a show, but we'll have to see it when it's done, then. If you can make it to Auburn and have time, maybe the Sydney people could meet there? There's a little coffee shop next door, we did that when we collect grooming comp fry.

CNgo2006 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) NICE, Why is it upside down though? Guess I'm not very artsy..LOL! How long did that one take? Edited August 3, 2012 by Chi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zui Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Also Sydney discus world is only a 5 minute drive to Auburn aquarium. You can catch a train to flemington(sydney discus world) from central station and a 500 metre walk to shop. If your here on a w/end I should be able to give you a lift as I only live across the road from Sydney Discus World. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
