Australian Computer Museum Looking For Space

Posted by timothy on from the plaint dept.

    It's in Sydney.

    You find it buried on this page - looks like its currently at a self storage center in Sydney. (Near where the olympic village was).

    Otherwise known as approximately 31.6 metres by 31.6 metres. Not that much.
