Update to my original message. I purchased a Kobo Touch from Swindon Books in Hong Kong last week and it arrived in Brisbane, AU, today.
Basically, if you are willing to pay the extra $$$ they seem to be a reliable source for an Aussie to purchase this product. Make sure to email them too and let them know you are placing an overseas order because they also charge international shipping.
I went with them rather than ebay simply out of personal preference. None of the listed US or CA stores that I tried would ship to AU. It was a birthday present for my kid so I didn't want to mess around too much.
Looking forward to being able to buy them over the counter in Oz later this year!
BTW: I own a Sony PRS-950, and the Kobo Touch looks like an excellent alternative for the budget buyer.
