All,

I have a number of UK Apple plugs which fit the power bricks, Airport express etc. These are all UK three pin. Ia there an Aus colleague who visits the UK who wants to trade a UK one for an Aus one. I am going to Australia this summer and want to take my Powerbook with me but don't want to spend lots of money buying Apples pack of plugs when I only need one.

A straightforward exchange by post if you are interested.

John

I'm not familiar with Australian plugs, so excuse the genuine question:

Are they the same as Continental European plugs? If so, I was proposing a similar exchange… (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=2322985#post2322985)

Let me know if this is correct, and I'd love to swap.

Assuming the voltages are compatible all you need is a cheap 2pin cable. The kind that comes with many electrical items the world over. Any electronics shop and many big supermarkets or airport shops will sell them for a couple of $'s.
