Photo CD can be organised through any Kodak "shopfront" - do they have an agency in NW West Aus?
I've used Photo CD extensively in the past for photos for the ASGAP website - quality seems a bit variable. It seems to cope OK with images corresponding to the 'standard' 18% grey but often struggles with anything darker or lighter in my experience. It's an interesting format though. As Kenneth says, each 5MB file contains several images at differing resolutions from thumbnail size up to 2048 x 3072.
Cost a year or so ago was about $2.25 per slide or negative and 100 images can be put onto a CD - you don't have to get 100 do all at the same time, they can add additional images to the CD in batches.
I agree with you that a scanner is your only long term option but you could keep Photo CD or Image Science Scanning in mind if you need a few quickly.
Regards
Brian

Until, I got a Nikon Coolscan film scanner, I had a local outfit do Kodak Photo CD scans (not picture CD). Kodak no longer is supporting the equipment, but it still is in operation. I got about 100 scans on a CD. The scans were at 5 levels of resolution. Each scan cost about $1.5 to $2 US depending on the quantity.
