Spotted in Melbourne, Australia:

My brother (who's not a computer person) spotted Vax 3 rack cabinets
and assorted boxes of files/books in a dumpster Thursday. He reckons
the cabinets had 11/750 on them somewhere.

Also in the same skip were DECmate bits, a swag of terminals, some
large (17") monitors and some PCs.

Don't know what's still there, but ...

In the carpark, Palmerston St, South Melbourne, between Eastern and
Sanderlands Sts (?).

Let me know if you get something!
