Thanks for the responses.
I am in East Bentleigh. Here are some photos of the bed (courtesty of ebay):

As far as I am concerned the rails & base are not usable. I would like the Head & Foot to have new brackets fitted with new side rails to hook up to them.
I have also considered just selling it and buying another King Single frame, but thought I would at least see how much it might cost to fix this up as I really like it!!
Thanks again for the replies, and keep the questions & suggestions comin'...
