Even though the store remains shrouded in secrecy, literally, we popped down to the site of the Sydney city Apple Store, on the corner of George St and King St, to see how work was coming along.
Admiring from afar
The site is a buzzing hive of activity, with construction workers and security at both entrances, and there is some indication that work on the store is nearing completion. Rumours suggest the interior of the store is being modelled on the flagship store in New York.

Marvel at the machine that pioneered the person computer revolution; the Commodore 64. In this photo gallery we reveal the guts that gave the Commodore 64 its glory, why not nose in for some nostalgia?
Despite Apple's attempts to keep plans for an official store in Sydney under wraps, council documents have offered a glimpse of what's to come.
Boasting the fastest mobile phone network in the world, Telstra is now going to show us how to use it via the T.Life store, which will open in Sydney on Friday.
It's not quite the Google headquarters in Mountain View, California, but Googleplex Sydney is nonetheless an intriguing insight into the Google mindset.
Google's new London office houses 200 workers, but plans are underway for a massive recruitment effort.
Tossing the KF700 into a mobile market obsessed with the iPhone could be a tough pitch for LG. HSDPA data speeds and multiple methods of input could be what's needed to turn a few heads away from the competition.
Camera phones with 5 megapixels are no longer just for people with huge pockets. The C902 packs a very mean shooter into a very slim package and delivers excellent photos.
Though there are still some big features missing from the iPhone, the addition of 3G and GPS, the affordable price tag, and extra features from the iPhone 2.0 software update make the handset a worthy prospect.
There's a lot to like about the C702, sadly the Cyber-shot camera is not part of this list. People hunting for a rugged mobile phone will rejoice at this compact and attractive option.
Like Crocodile Dundee, the M110 would be great in the bush but not so well-suited to city living. The M110 willl suit those who are bound to get the phone dirty, but its rugged exterior doesn't exactly protect a wealth of valuable technology

What are your bosses at Microsoft going to do about this, CNet? All that money they spent to buy the continent of Australia, and now the population is going Mac. Bummer!

Have you never visited an Apple store? The one in Tokyo is also 3 stories tall, and features one floor with a dedicated theatrette. Better to have too much space than too little ;-)

We have bosses at Microsoft? Sweet mercy no one told me. And to think I'd been upholding journalistic integrity all this time. Looks like you've subscribed to internet misconception #44, zato3: if someone ever, ever says something positive about a company, they must be being paid off. Definitely not the case, CNET is an independent media company.

Darn Sydney... I can only hope that Melbourne will get one eventually. Not that I live in Melbourne, I just prefer it to Sydney (us Victorians living in NSW go through hell I tells ya).

Upholding journalistic integrity? at C|net? C'mon Craig you might actually believe you're not suckling at Microsoft's teat but this is an ad-riddled corporate **** of a site with the kind of integrity that makes Fox News seem fair and balanced.
