Earlier this week, Apple was announcing the Grand Opening of its first Apple Retail Store in Australia. The company has also issued an official report revealing what customers can expect on the occasion.

The store's manager will open the doors at 5:00 p.m. for folks to barge in, nab one of those Limited Edition T-shirts, take a few pictures and test drive the MacBook Air if they wish. The Sydney Store has three floors, two of which are dedicated to Macs and iPods. A third floor is dedicated entirely to service. The world's largest Genius Bar can be found there. One to One training sessions with the Apple Genius, as some of you may already know, can provide free advice on how to use Apple products.

The Apple Store, Sydney is located at 367-373 George Street in Sydney, at the corner of King and George Streets. It is just one block North of the Queen Victoria Building.

"We are thrilled to bring the unique Apple retail experience to Australia," said Ron Johnson, Apple's senior vice president of Retail. "This breathtaking new store will be the ultimate place for the people of Sydney to shop, learn and be inspired."

Customers will be able to "mingle" with some 80 Macs and 60 iPods, but also third party products, according to the Mac maker. More than 125 locally hired Specialists, Creatives and Geniuses, who are ready to share their expertise with anyone interested, comprise the store's staff. These guys are ready to offer you info on everything about Macs and the applications you can use with them.

As an attendant to the Grand Opening of the Sydney Apple Store, you will also get the chance to test-drive Apple's MacBook Air, the world's thinnest notebook. Pro Labs will be available too. There, you will be offered free training on Apple's professional creative applications for digital photography, music production and video editing.
