A belated reply.
I intended to get an 8" GSO Dobsonian from Andrews Communications earlier this year when I was in Wollongong for the weekend, but unfortunately they were out of stock of the Super Deluxe version and I put my plans on hold.
My interest was raised again late this year after ordering a 2009 calendar and almanac from IceInSpace; since I was Melbourne visiting family anyway, Bintel was the obvious choice. I'm now the proud owner of a Bintel BT-202 Dobsonian.
I picked up a Bintel Nebula Filter and Orion Collimating Eyepiece, which will be enough to get me started and figure out what other eyepieces etc. I'll need.
Thanks for all of the tips and advice; I'm looking forward to first light once the usual new telescope clouds clear!
