Hi cccp85,

Your two choices for shops in Melbourne are:

BinTel:

https://www.bintelshop.com.au/welcome.htm

519 Burke Road (cnr Clifton Road)
Camberwell VIC 3124
Ph: 9822 0033


York Optical:

http://yorkoptical.com.au/

114 Flinders Street,
Melbourne
Ph: 9654 3938


I highly recommend BinTel for their customer service and knowledge. And of course you have the collective knowledge of the members here.

Here are some recent threads on IceInSpace discussing similar topics:

There are countless threads from beginners such as yourself, on what they should buy for their first telescope. I know you will be itching to dive in head first and buy a telescope but please don't dismiss a good pair of binoculars to start of with. These will do you a lifetime and are an invaluable tool for observing.

Plenty more will chime in on the pros and cons of which telescope to buy.

Regards,

Stephen
