I haven't been there since I left Sydney a while ago, but I'm pretty sure there are a fair few AHBer's that frequent ESB @ Peakhurst...
The Campbelltown homebrew shop is truly awful but it is the only one in the Macarthur area.
It is really worth the drive a little further either to ESB at Peakhurst or to Northern Brew at Wonoona.

Are you doing kits, partials or all grain?
There are quite a few of us brewers out this way, check out http://au.groups.yahoo.com/group/Macarthur...er_Enthusiasts/
Most of us buy our grains and hops etc through bulk buys which normally works out pretty cheap.
If it's hops your after, let me know. I have many kilos more than I need right now.
The Brew Shop at Peakhurst is awesome. Is that the same as people are quoting ESB? :blink:
The guy at Campbelltown has no idea... I was there one day and a guy walked in, wanting to get into AG and obviously wanting to spend money and get some advice. He said, (insert German accent here) "dont bother, its takes too much time and doesnt taste anybetter" and that was it...I went to the Campbelltown store the other day and didn't think it was that bad. Why do people think it is scary? The bloke who runs Country Brewer at Casula is a top bloke and is always helpful.

I'm only a kit brewer at the moment so these places are pretty good for me.
+1 for what Bribie said. In fact you can order all your gear online. I can think of three HB's (not specifically the sponsors, dunno either way, but check it out anyway) that offer free delivery for orders over $100. That's going to be cheaper than driving to your local, no matter how good or bad they are.

Craftbrewer - It's worth the postage for the service
