I halved the weight of my plates and crockery thanks to your suggestion to get malamine plates and cups etc...
I didn't think it would be such a big defference but it's huge. Probably 60% lighter now.
Carting the gear around in the Coaser bus isn't a big problem but Heidi will love it that the box it's in is sooooo much lighter now.
Thank.

And they don't break when you drop them! :)
Glad you're pleased with them. As someone else mentioned; Clints or The Warehouse usually have them - They are not genuine Melamine but that technology has been around long enough for every one else to be pretty good at it too.
I have broken the odd one - because I pack them on top of each other they tend to take a hell of a battering on 4WD tracks so I have bought a couple of spares of each plate and bowl - but, in general they are very robust.
When camping in winter and the temperature is below about 10 deg C I usually stack two plates and serve dinner on the top one - it stays hotter a bit longer that way.
