I'm fairly sure its still legal to use leaded solder here in Australia, Jaycar even sells it, even though theirs is 60% tin.

Uh, solder has been 60% tin / 40% lead for a VERY long time...

RoHS - making electronics hobbyists' lives hell since ... when did the EU sign up to that garbage?

dunno about where your at, but in the states RoHS only applies to commercial application, and you can use lead solder all you want as a hobbiest

I'm in Australia. And I'm referring to that many kits now come with the leadless solder - somewhat serviceable when you're starting a project, but perhaps less so when it comes repair or tear-down time.
