Hey mate

In sydney there are a few, including:
Bintel - www.bintelshop.com.au
MyAstroShop - www.myastroshop.com.au
Andrews - www.andrewscomms.com.au
York Optical - www.yorkoptical.com.au
Astronomy Online - www.astronomyonline.com.au

I think that's most of them. I don't know of any that sell Orion gear except Bintel.

York Optical no longer have a store in Sydney.
There is also Astro Optical Supplies at Crows Nest (don't know if they do Orion or whether they have a website)

Good Luck

Bintel have a great reputation for good advice, and both pre and post-sales customer service.
