I'm in Melbourne. Unfortunately, you're right, there's not much country. There is a dedicated little alt.country scene based out of the inner N-W suburbs but she's not your trad scene. My guitar teacher plays pedal steel in a couple of bands, and the Retreat Hotel in Brunswick is a bit of a hotspot.

A good place for country fans is 'Twang' on 3RRR Saturdays 2-4pm run by Denise Hylands. She often has country greats on line from the US, has an encyclopaedic knowledge and good contacts and plays a good mix of new and trad, right back to the Munroes and classic Aussie stuff.
