Hello again

Can anyone tell me if there is a decent telescope shop in Newcastle. I have gone to the Telescope/Instrument shop in broadmeadow and although he is very friendly, I am not very impressed for the following three reasons.

1. He keeps trying to talk me out of a Dob (I think he wants to move his EQ mounts)
2. Has never heard of a collimation tool
3. Says that the scope will come collimated from the factory and will never need doing again (I wish this were so).

I will probably end up ordering my scope from myastroshop, but would like to know if there is a shop in Newcastle I can walk into and see one in person first.
