Hi Peter, >From reading your email, I would suspect it is a failed Logic board on your >MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro certainly needs to be checked by an Authorised Apple Technician.
I would suggest when your wife arrives in Perth that she arrange for Nick at Joondalup 'MacWorx Joondalup' 10/7 Delage Street JOONDALUP WA 6027 Ph: 9301 5333 Fax: 9301 5444 to check the Logic Board & replace if found to be the problem. I had two logic boards replaced in one of my MacBook Pro a while ago.

An explanation a Logic Board: The logic board is a circuit board in an Apple Macintosh computer; in other brands of computers it is known as a motherboard. The logic board houses the crucial components of the computer system and provides connectivity for peripheral devices. Think of it as the heart of your computer. As the heart of a computer, the logic board receives and broadcasts information, with the added function of coordinating various computing systems and providing the logic and connectivity for attaching peripheral devices. Without a logic board, a PC would be nothing more than a box of sophisticated but unconnected, uncoordinated circuitry, expensive but useless.
