Photo by Josh Hill
Apple recently took the wraps off their first Apple Retail store in Australia and officially announced the date and time for the grand opening. The Sydney, Australia store will have its grand opening on Thursday, June 19th, 2008 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. This means the store will be open in time for the Australian launch of the iPhone 3G on July 11th.
Located at 77 King Street, the three story building is expected to have about 1335 square meters of floor space. Two other Apple Stores are expected to follow: one in Melbourne, and another in Sydney.
Additional photo galleries of the new store can be found here: gallery one, gallery two, and gallery three (by Kenneth Nordahl).

^ are you going to check it out Abstract? dont you live in Sydney?
Close. I live in Wollongong, but that's kind of close. It would be really weird for me to just make the 2 hour journey to the opening. It's not a huge store, so if I want to go inside, I'd have to be one of those losers who sits outside for like 2 days just for a free t-shirt. Crazy. I guess it may be worth it if they gave a special Australian Apple t-shirt that said something cool, like "Apple Goes Down Under". It would be a nice Apple t-shirt with a nice double entendre.
Looks great; either this store is really big or it looks really big.
It looks long, but it doesn't appear to have a lot of "girth".
