Hi Deb,
 
I just picked up a monfrotto 290 series from Camera House on the corner of lt 
Bourke and Elizabeth (knowing you're in Melbourne too) this week.  It's on the 
heavy side - but meant for a scope.
 
The price on the box was $300 but I managed to talked them down to $200 - so it 
might be worth popping in there as they seem to be willing to offer good deals 
- and they seemed to have a good range of sizes and prices.
 
(I should also add I've no connection with the place at all - in fact it was 
the first time I'd ever been into the shop).
 
Cheers,
 
Ed
