| The Valhalla that I rememeber was a veritable Aladin's cave of neat and hard-to-come-by stuff and by the looks of things, it will be again. Doug is still slowly unpacking boxes and cataloguing things but the store is functioning.
The website is in need of an overhaul (best to use the Sitemap on the main page to get around), but the lists of items are still fairly accurate.
Good luck Doug! |

Yeah, I was talking to Doug and he said thathe doesn't really have the captial at the moment for some advertising, so he is still relying on word of mouth.
The good thing about the new premisis is that you can park right out front! As for Wellington Street... well...  |

Weren't you up in Geraldton a few years back?
Glad to see Valhalla back. Loved wandering through the old store in Wellington St, although I did get sticker shock on a few Amiga items there  |

| What the feck are they doing to Wellington St ?
I used to sell newspapers on the corner of Wellington & william street (opposite the Royal Hotel) in the 70's.
Methinks a bout of Google Earth is imminent.
Anyway... Congrats getthe store up & running Doug.

Jeepers... that part of town looks a bit different now! The Wellington Street road works are to do with the improvement of Perth's public transport system - something about trains, tunnelling, etc. The old block where Valhalla was... is a huge hole in the ground... or it was, I've not checked in recent months.
Cheers! |
