Yeah I heard they'd gone belly up. Not that I was ever a Gowings shopper - I used to shop at DJs or this little place in the walking tunnel between Wynyard and Pitt Street back when I wore monkey suits.

Actually in that case, I think the problem was they tried to expand and the world wasn't ready for a shop that sold clothes, camping gear, strange nick nacks and bath ducks...
When it was just that single shop in George street, they did very well - survived two World Wars and god knows how many changes in fashion. Someone got greedy and killed the golden goose."I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to."

Nah, it is not a velvet rope and rubber wear kinda place, and wearing uniform and ribbons is not on the cards... worn a uniform all year and intend to slide right into 'normal life' for a while.
Again, thanks for all the suggestions, I've gotten a good range of options - and all are close to where I'll be staying.
As for catching up... I'd like to do that but may be limited by time... I'll be running around like a mad chook as it is.
I have 3 and a half weeks off, but only 4 or 5 days in Sydney.
I'm being 'organised' by friends, so I'll find out what the program is and see if we can get together for a cold one?
After a year of mostly 16 hour days, and only 25 days "out of country"... I'm willing to dress like a flash larrikan to unwind a little.
Again, thanks all... although SilentC... be interested in seeing where your mate goes to get his stuff.

G'day Clinton,
I'd go in what you're comfortable in....even if its a sarong and sandals.
You're the invited guest with a story to tell.
Their problem as to how they get you in

OK, mate from Balmoral says either DJs or Henry Bucks. HBs is expensive though. 23-25 O’Connell Street.
