Picked up the frame in pink metallic from New South Wales, identified as made by the then doyen of Oz frame builders, George McDonald, and now with splendid restoration by Gordon Hill (of the Hillman family), paint by Kevin Wigham (of Paconi frames) and freehand lettering/pinstriping by 80 y.o. Kenn Dickie, whose work has shown up elsewhere on these forums on a Malvern Star track bike if I remember rightly.
At present running a mix of new and old 70s-80s Sugino and Suntour running gear & brakes, Campy/Rigida wheels, Cinelli, Brooks, bits having come from all over the globe. So it's not yet pure to era, but I'm getting there. And rolls so smooth: every path I take on it is gently downhill all the way.
