Oh, no, it's a terrible thread to say "Hello" in! You're underestimating your importance.
You definitely deserve your own thread, so you should go right to the
Introduce Yourself (<---linky) forum and press the
New Thread(<---linky) button. That way, it's all about
you, groovyjoss.

can anyone link me to a thread that explains the best place to buy ebooks in australian dollars?

To be honest, I'm not sure what formats the Hanlin likes (that's your device, right?). In Australian dollars...well, there's always Dymocks who offer ebooks in multiple formats (note, I'm in any way recommending them in the slightest, though they are Aussie-dollar). However, is there a reason you want to specifically restrict yourself to Aussie-dollar (Australian) websites? Because, for instance,
Fictionwise and
Books on Board are fairly popular retailers, and I've used both and been perfectly happy. The
MobileRead wiki also has a section devoted to
E-Book stores. If you're at all interested in Public Domain/Creative Commons -type works, there's the
MobileRead ebooks section where ebooks in multiple formats are freely available. If you've a preference for SF, a very popular book (both e- and p-) publisher is
Baen, worthwhile doing a MobileRead search for positive opinions.
So, really, I've left the answer to your question somewhat open-ended. Personally, I'm quite happy buying from Fictionwise or Books on Board when I do buy ebooks, though my experience is generally Public Domain, so buying ebooks is not an often thing for me.
(And, by the way, I'm only joking about the "own thread" thing for your intro. You could though, perhaps should, and let us know who you are, where you live, what books you like, how a gas barbecue works, and whether you eat the red ones last)
Cheers, and welcome,
