Equipment rental in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

I'm heading off to Melbourne, Australia for a 3-week vacation at the

end of this week (Sep 5 2003). Rather than carting all my photographic

equipment with me, I was thinking of renting certain bulky items

(tripods, lights, stands, etc.) while I'm there. Can anyone recommend

a dealer in Melbourne?

Camera Exchange would be the best place to check with. They are in the city - look them up in www.yellowpages.com.au

 

The name of the place is - The Camera Exchange

Address is on lonsdale st.

Michaels just down the road - http://www.michaels.com.au/

 

Neither have the greatest web sites, best bet is to call them. I've only ever rented cameras/lenses before, so not too sure if or how they go with all the rest.

 

Good luck and I hope you enjoy our city, and post some photos when you get back.

James and Mark, thank you for your recommendations. I'll be sure to check out both stores when I'm visiting!

Hi there Brian,<p>

 

You might also check out Ted's which might have cheaper prices for some of the things you are after...<p>
