I recently use to work next door to the old apple australia
manufacturing facility in rodborough road, the same road where their
HQ used to be. The manufacturing site is now a post office processing
center. It was a very high tech site for its day. We still have
manufacturing here, but nothing like that in Aus now. Their HQ was
also vacated a few years back. End of an era.

These pic's were from when they were just about to start their hay
days here.

Be good to have that serial number database.
