Hey thommo, I'm also an Australian user.
-I got mine sent from a relative in the states. It ended up costing me a total of $AUS803 including a spare battery, choice of colour, with shipping via usps with postal insurance. we do not need to pay any import duty or tax as it's under $AUS1000
-I just went down to **** smiths and grabbed a new figure 8 power cable, which happened to be cheaper than an adapter and less bulky. the DC power supply supports 110-240V.
-I haven't needed to deal with tech support yet other than sales queries, but i assume so long as its not a 'please send to us' job then they wouldn't need to know where you are using. just remember that there are limitations on products from the ebook store i.e. text books can only be downloaded from an ip in the states.
