BINTEL are the authorized Tele Vue dealer in Australia and are a great bunch of guys to deal with. There is a store in Sydney and Melbourne and mail order is fast. Register the item for tracking.
For your current telescope the 3 to 6mm range is just about perfect for planetary viewing. If you were to get another telescope with double the focal length then about 5mm upward would be better. However, if you also get a short refractor such as the ED80 or other quality APO telescope with a short focal length then the 3-6 zoom is an ideal complement to such a telescope and will be one of your most used eyepieces.
Note the Hyperion 8-24mm zoom has had a lot of great reviews and with just two eyepieces you could have a range from 3 to 24mm. The Tele Vue 8-24mm zoom is no longer available, but I believe the Hyperion has a wider apparent field of view.
Whatever you choose enjoy!
