Electronics stores in Brisbane

[AdrianF (Adrian)]

Anyone know of a good electronic hobby store in Brisbane CBD?
Will be in Brisbane this week (hopefully) and looking to buy some components and Arduino stuff.

What are you after Adrian?
Jaycar is the first to my mind - the guys are incredibly helpful usually if you explain what your latest "scheme" is.

Already been to Jaycar for Arduino stuff in Rockhampton but they don't stock the arduino shields I look for and they don't have the Arduino mega, I need two for various Ham radio projects (antenna analyzer and an antenna rotator and possibly an auto antenna tuner)
Looking for transistors to carry high current to drive motors.

You could try these guys:

I haven't been there for a while but they used to have a good range of components and tools. Might not have Arduino gear though. Perhaps you could give them a call?

Cheers,
Rick.

Buy em off ebay, it's a lot cheaper.

Most of the Arduino stuff I have was bought from eBay. It just takes so long to get it here. Waiting on membrane keypads, Digital synthesizer, rotary encoders etc I am not very patient:
