Try Michaels Camera Shop (I think that they are Melbourne) .
I can beat that .... I dropped my venerable old EXACTOR SLR with it 150mm f2 telephoto when I turned my anckle going doing the back stairs not so long ago .... you guessed it .... I let go of the camera and grabbed the handrail to save myself and so killed the camera and damaged the lens .... good thing I had included accidental damage in my home contents insurance policy , gettihg a new camera and lens as a result (soon I hope .... been approved just waiting for details so I can say YES PLEASE).
You might get a new camera body out of this from your insurer if they say the camera is unrepairable , in any case , your insurer will cover it's repairs and costs involved in shipping if you have the right inclusions .
I think all amateur astronomers should include accidential damage cover in their home insurance , things do get dropped , and sometimes they fall over get tripped over (in the dark and often onto hard surfaces) .....
