It's at 4:50 pm EST from Kennedy Space Centre. I think that will be 8:50am Sydney time so long as Kennedy is in the same time zone as New York.

On the Shuttle page of the NASA web site they have a countdown clock to the launch. Easiest way to work out the launch time! Also easiest way to see if there is a delay.

For a high definition live feed: www.spacevidcast.com
NASA TV's telecast is typically delayed by 2 minutes.
A sample of SpaceVidCast's magic can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtrB9bELGSY
Fast forward to 1:45, full screen, audio on max, and... enjoy.
