There's the binocular telescope and optical world out at Malaga, who I think used to be York optical. They've got the usual collection of Skywatcher and Celestron stuff. There's also a couple of guys who run small import business, presumably to get a tax offset on their own toys.
Adelaide isn't too far away, I've bought from both the Astronomy and Electronic Centre, and Telelscopes and Astronomy shops and can recommend either for fairly prompt responses and shipping.
Once you've lived in Perth for a while it will seem normal to get everything a month after you want it. Shops like Bintel and even Optcorp in the US are probably your best bet for anything small.
cheers,
Andrew.
