Luke,

Sounds like a good choice covering the smaller sizes with totems and bigger with C4s. Andy Kirkpatrik raves about totem cams: http://andy-kirkpatrick.com/blog/view/one_cam_to_rule_them_all

I bought a #4 Camalot when I bought my rack 8 years ago and I've only placed it a few times. Half the time I use it I find that I need a #5 (Watchtower crack, Hermes, etc).

Something to think about: Campsaver is now offering free postage to Australia if you spend more than $400. Steve at Rock Hardware is great, so I'd suggest getting what you can't get from the US from him.

Cheers
