Hi Zoom Zoom, Most of us semi serious runners would not pay full retail price for the 305. Stores here in Melbourne generally sell them for just over AUD $350.00. That is steep by any ones language. I don't believe there is a specific 305 for the Aussie market, but I might make some enquiries. Cheers/Theo

Hmmm...Garmin shows different versions for Aus. and Europe, as well as a French/English version, but I'm not sure how they would differ... Confused

Could be a language thing ... English, French, American, Australian. Big grin

Just joking. Neil UK ps I did visit Sydney last year and was amazed how much of the language I understood. Smile

Yippee! My hubby got me the Garmin! Hasn't shown up in the mail yet, but he told me today that it's on the way (today's my b-day). I'm excited!

Yep, it came in the mail yesterday and I'm trying it out today after work! I haven't figured everything out yet (probably never will), but I'm just going to strap it on and go the first time.

Amazon still has the Garmin 205 for $149.99. This would be a great post-Christmas gift!
