Join Collectors tonight from the magnificent harbourside location of the Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney. Andy gives us a tour of the Museum's indoor collection and Adrian looks at the Museum's historic collection of swimsuits that shows how the swimsuit evolved with changes in bathing and swimming practices from the early 20th century to the 21st century.

Andy and the team visit some of their favourite Sydney collecting hot spots - Andy head to Jacksons Rare Guitars, Niccole immerses herself in the crims and larrikins of old Sydney pubs at the Police and Justice Museum. Gordon is in 'heaven' at Australia's oldest antiques' market and 20th century loving Adrian hits Newtown's second hand and op shops.

Yachting identity and quintessential Sydneysider, Sean Langman, has restored and collected many types of traditional wooden boats and his collection ranges from clinker dinghies to racing yachts. Niccole and Andy meet Robbie the Robot when fashion designer, Claudia Chan, shares her amazing collection of tin robots.
