walked to Wollongong Central (the mall). Bought Starship Titanic, a pair of earphones (with long cord) and a cute doll of Buttercup (powerpuffGirl green). Spotted a Mindstorms box v1.5, $375. Better to buy it in Italy: shipping charges will eat up the saving.
found the phantom zone: smaller than I believed, not much stuff in there, mostly american. found a tourist info office, maybe I'll buy some souvenir there
