That's a great site, thanks for the link!
When I was hunting around for binoculars I was looking at the celestron 15x70's, but in Australia they were all quite expensive, like > $300, but they were much cheaper in the US..
I didn't end up buying them from the US because I was worried about what taxes and import duties I'd have to pay etc.
I ended up getting some 11x70 Saxon's from a shop in Melbourne, freighted to me for $220 total. They're not the best and greatest binoculars, but they served me well for 6-7 months until I got my telescope.
I've only got a fairly cheapo camera tripod too, I don't know that it would withstand a big set of 22x100's or similar.. already it doesn't handle my 11x70's well when pointed at a high angle.. the head slips out of position even when locked :/
