Perth Australia Mint - Any tips?

My job currently has me assigned in Singapore so I will be spending the holidays in Perth & Margaret River Australia. My wife actually suggested a side trip to the Perth Mint - how could I resist? Has anyone been there and can provide any tips? Is it worth the effort?

Thanks!
Tom

    I've only been to the Perth Mint booth at the ANA show in Milwaukee this summer.

    I missed out on the hats they were handing out.

    Please report back. From their offerings, it might be a wild place!

    Be glad to provide a report and pics if they let me take them. I'm generally a US collector but I'm sure they will have something that piques my interest.

  • I have ordered merchandise from them, over the past two years, and, I find their Customer Service Reps exceptionally knowledgeable, and, friendly.

  • Ummmm....flush one of their toilets, and report back with your findings!

    Nice collection of beauty SpaceMonkey!
    I too have collected the series and particularly like the tiger.....and we know how the dragon has ascended.
    Enjoy the trip Blade. I envy you for being there during my winter, their summer. Nice job!

    Wow - More excited now than ever. Even got a good tip on a contact from Horizon. Will definitely let everyone know how it goes.
