Guys,
the right way is photo-resist on PC board.
There is a company in Melbourne that sell those:

You can use the laser prints (on tracing paper, or transparency) from D Ek's webpage (
http://digicircles.eksfiles.net/build.php) to produce very high quality PCB's.
The developer (KOH or NaOH) and etching solution (FeCl3) is still available at Dick Smith (but do not ask staff to tell you how to use these.. they know absolutely nothing about it :-()
As for PCB design, Easytrax from Protel is still available on web, and it is freeware.
