Us poor Australian fans wont be getting the PETRA FAREWELL cd on the shelves til 2006 :( I emailed our Koorong bookstore here in Australia and they said it wont be shipped in and avail til January 2006.

So I've gone ahead and ordered one in from the US and its on its way. So i reckon i'll officially be the first Australian to own the new album. I did the same for Jekyll and Hyde too when that came out.

Everything takes too long down here.

For example cd players took so long to be released I nearly had to get Jekyll & Hyde on LP :).

G'day guys - hope you're enjoying the ATWRadio broadcast. It's nice to feel like we can be a part of something. So, So, SO glad I could go to the AGMF to see Petra in Queensland.
I have become a regular at Christianbook.com (USA) since last year. I pre-ordered Jekyll and Hyde and have been building my CD collection more since then, the CD's are heaps cheaper, even with the postage and conversion, than getting them at $30aus. from Koorong or Word.
I pre-ordered Petra Farewell on the day it was possible to pre-order and am expecting it to arrive somewhere between next Tuesday and Christmas.
I joined my brother in building his Petra collection so we could split the cost of postage, soon I'll be doing an order for another Pethead here in Perth we have gotten in contact with through ATWR... Christianbook shoud give me a commission :lol:

I'll let you know when I get it....
Meanwhile I entered the ATWR contest the other day and won another Farewell CD and a pack - not sure which one will get here first, but it works out well, one for the car, one for the house :D
The other thing is, with Petra finishing up, its likely to be harder to get CD's - so I guess any double-ups I have should be put in a vault for safekeeping incase something happens to the others :wink:

Okay - so how did you manage that??
I tried to pre-order the signature edition and was told it could not be sent to an international address...did they change the rules or have you had it posted from a friend?
