There was a whole thread about this not too long ago...maybe it is worth doing a forum search for it?
Other than that idea, Tonio has mentioned the only 2 I can think of right now too...

Yeah the only Aussies besides you that I can think of on here are Thug, Cuda King, CalsonicR34 & myself.
Probably the biggest hobby store in Australia is Hobbyco, but it is located in Sydney. I think their website is http://www.hobbyco.com.au. Another place that you will be able to order online from with mags, mufflers, photo etched kits, alot of plastic & diecast kits aswell as old racing stuff ( signed steering wheels etc etc etc) is http://www.sherriffsminicars.com.au <-- That is my usual store and I tell you its a great place! They had a 1/10 F1 car made completely out of carbon fibre with a metal engine and real tires etc for $3000 it went in just 4 days! I think there is more Aussie modellers on here but alot of them don't come on regularly

Hey I'm an Aussie too! There seem to be quite a few of us around when you start looking :D I'm pretty new here too.
What exactly are you looking for? Are you into Racing and Rallying or Street, Hotrod type stuff?
Just for general kits Frontline Hobbies (http://www.frontlinehobbies.com.au) of Newcastle seem to have a good range.
For all the aftermarket Racing bits and pieces talk to John Lancaster of Grand Prix Miniatures Australia, email is: gpminaus@hotkey.net.au.

Another Aussie here. I am from Newcastle, home of Frontline Hobbies - one of the stores mentioned by RallyRaider. They do have a good collection of kits, though their aftermarket gear can sometimes leave abit to be desired - some Fujimi wheels but that's about it. Also, I suggest you ring them if they do not have something you want listed on the website, as they are sometimes a bit slow in updating the website, and some of their more obscure stuff never gets listed.
Other than that, I have also dealt with John at Grand Prix Miniatures. He is extremely helpful and very prompt with deliveries.
Cheers,
Pots.
