It is a shame, because the industry started in Australia in the early 50s. I know I have some old slides of machines back when Dad was importing them from the USA - Just a matter of finding them. I really hope they are still there.

Since I don't have any pictures to share - Here's a really cool story;

Dad had some machines in a Cafe in Fitzroy in the 60's. He was behind the counter, and 5 scruffy dudes walked in and asked for coffee. Dad had no idea who they were, other than than they had English accents and they needed a bath.

As they sat in the cafe, a patron walked up to Dad and told him that he had just served the Rolling Stones coffee !

Dad did speak to Mick Jagger for quite some time - But he cannot recall what they spoke about.
