If you click on the BINTEL link on the right of this page you can see all the gear with prices. They are just one retailer. They are in Sydney & Melbourne. I've had nothing but great service from them. However, there are others.
Anywho, a 6" Dobsonion will set you back around $350 and an 8" $500. Also, keep an eye out in the Ice In Space Classifieds. There's a 12 inch dob in there with a heap of accessories for sale for $700. Looks like awesome value, and it's not far from you by the look of it. I wouldn't mind it myself.
Rather than spend money on something that's only slightly bigger, my advice would to be to save a bit longer and buy something bigger which will last you for many years. Aperture is everything, and you'll probably find that you will want to upgrade again before long.

Reason: Wrong price indicated - Said $780. Is $700
