Is there somewhere in Australia that sells strobe kits?

I've slowly been building up my strobe kit over the last few months. I basically want a 4 or 5 light kit with umbrella, stand, wireless connection and all the bits and pieces that go along with it (umbrella swivel etc.) and have found a few sites online that i've been buying off. This was all before the Aussie dollar crapped itself. I was basically buying everything off B&H and it was excellent, but I'm wondering if there is anywhere in Australia that can compete with the overseas prices now? Shipping for what i want will be around $100US so even if it's close i can be pretty confident it will be less in total dollars.

Also i've bought some SB-800's for the first two lights, but am now just looking at something cheaper like the vivitar models. I haven't been able to find anyone that sells those around Australia just yet. Anyone know of any place?

We have bought some stuff (Manfrotto 001B light stands, brolly adaptors, etc) at Borges in Melbourne and some stuff from Vanbar. Both have online retailing.
