Sydney suppliers

[Tinus]

Hi all,

I'm moving to Sydney at the end of June for work, from South Africa. I unfortunately can't take along much of my kit. Can I please get recommendations as to where in Sydney to get the basics (soldering iron, etc)?

Kind regards
Tinus

Some starters:

Hobbyist type stuff:
https://www.jaycar.com.au
www.altronics.com.au


Commercial outlets:
http://au.rs-online.com
http://au.element14.com

There's mouser/digikey/newark etc.



The Sydney locals will know the small goldmine places.

Go to maps.google.com enter where you want to search e.g. sydney
Then once there enter what business you want to find e.g. electronic components
