Hi Henry,
Have a look at the Bintel website, they have a store in Melbourne and stock many of the same products as Andrews, wherever you do the deal make certain that you know what you are getting as retailers tend to offer different packages (accessories ). Do you need a truss type telescope? a solid OTA will reduce your costs and allow more for other stuff later on, attend some astro club meetings and try other peoples gear before you make any future purchases. The SVAA are near Ballarat and meet monthly, Ken James would be a good contact or you could try Erick ( Eric Kingston ) on this forum.

Good Luck with your purchase.
Regards Greg.
