Hello Jason,
Was going to advise exaxctly the same as Chris.
Not Australian, but seriiously useful are:
www.fredmiranda.com
www.photographyonthenet.net
www.photozone.de
They all have links to other sights, specialist and general.
There is also
www.dpreview.com, which used to be good, but in the last couple of years, seems to have been taken over by what my mother would call "sorry old church women", who snipe, carp and bully one another. Only really useful for actual camera/lens reviews.
Enjoy
PJH
