Australian S&T - where to buy

Does anyone know of any Melbournian newsagencies/bookshops that sell Australian S&T mag?

Most newsagents won't stock AS&T as it is a low selling mag, much harder to sell than Women's Daze, No Idea and other similar mags.
If you know your agent well enough, they may get one for you. Otherwise there is a place on Elizabeth St in the city called Mag Nation that stock them (between Collins and Bourke St).
The other option is to go to AS&T website and subscribe and have it delivered to your door. http://www.austskyandtel.com.au/

The Camberwell West AusPost/Newsagency gets them regularly.
( On Burke Rd just near where Bintel was )

I'll have to check - but the newsagent in Ivanhoe used to keep it in stock - the last one I bought from them was December last year.

Just an observation - if the magazine isn't widely available in Melbourne it is quite surprising. In Ballarat all (4) of the large newsagents stock it.. maybe we are just an astronomy hungry town, despite the endless clouds

That being said, there are very few hobby type magazines stocked by my 'local' newsagent despite them being in a modestly large shopping complex.

Cheers.

Darren.

Over the last twelve months I've seen the newsagent in Ivanhoe change hands and the variety of magazines that they used to stock reduced by, in my estimate, about a third - many print magazines just don't sell any more. The shelves are looking bare. I know we live in a digital age, but for mine you just can't beat a good book or magazine in the printed form

Yes I agree with some of the sentiment here. I think it's a shame that there are so few bookshops/newsagents that stock specialty magazines. I guess I'll keep looking...

If you ask any good newsagent, they will get it in for you.
