Hi Mate,
Was going to reply ealier but i couldn't find the link. In Vic you are very lucky there is a man called David Myers http://members.iinet.net.au/~davem2/amiga.html He doesn't live in melbourne but he does attend the commodore/Amiga get togethers (now i can't really speak for him, but his was always helpful to me when i needed some advice).
Also although Aussy prices are high we have a few sellers of Amiga stuff (if you don't want Ebay).

http://www.amigainnovations.com/ (there site is temp down)
Mind you expect to lose a body part...  :-D

If you need anything you can always let me know as well (but i think Xamiche pretty much has you covered).  ;-)

With Amigakit i have gotten my stuff very quickly BUT it cost me what i spent to get the stuff over here that fast.... Well it depends on what you buy if it's the light stuff then it's cheap. But i got 1 x a1200 and a cd32 from him along with other stuff so the postage was enough to choke a horse...  :-D
BTW i have recently opened up my 6 512KB A500 expansions and what do you know they have all leaked (the worst one spread over 1/3 of the board  :-( ).

Yes they are.. there even more of a pain because i can't seem to find them in OZ easy (Jaycar and Dick Smith don't have them) So i am ordering A500,A3K and A4K batteries + KS 3.1 from Amigakit (there goes my other kidney...  :-D ).
I really wish we had a decent Amiga shop still in Australia. Amigakit is good but they're just too far away.

Xamiche It's Difficult to say how much the postage will be, i had to send my IDEFIX back to them it cost me $3 (from Sydney) and i don't think it would cost that much more coming from the UK (normal airmail took about 2 weeks).
You can always try and PM him here on the forum just search for Amigakit he has always answered my Pm's and is really nice bloke.

O BTW Naton how are you set for Joysticks? I have dozens and dozens of them. (i can always spare 1 or 2 (yes i mean free))

I ordered a Quickshot joystick off ebay about a month ago, hoping to get it working with my PC some how. Unfortunatly it got lost in the mail from hongkong, which is a real shame because I distinctly remember liking the feel of the buttons. So as it happens I'm joystickless, and was lamenting ordering another off ebay, so a new one from around here without strings attached would be much appreciated kind sir :-D I'd love any joystick for playing games like Agony :lol:

There not really New, but they do work and are clean. PM your address and i'll send them on Tuesday. I'll find a small box for them.
