Apple's iPad mini went on sale across Australia this morning. We were at the flagship Sydney store to capture the scenes.
The line at Sydney's George Street Store went around King Street but didn't quite reach York Street as it has done for past Apple launches. -
The scene around 15 minutes before the store opened its doors at 8am.
