Raspberry Pi 2: where to buy in Australia and tips for RP newb?

[SteveLy]

Stephen Wolfram has made his crown jewel creation Mathematica available for free for the Raspberry Pi OS Raspbian. (See https://www.wolfram.com/raspberry-pi/.) That combined with the release of the more powerful Pi 2 early this year convinced me that I should get myself a Raspberry Pi 2.

My questions, especially to Aussie Raspberry Pi users, are:

Where should I buy one? Ebay sellers okay? (I am in Melbourne.)

Are there any particularly badly made versions/"clones" I should watch out for?

I have never used a Raspberry Pi (v1 or 2) so any other tips would also be appreciated on: power supply, SD card choice, case..?

(I'm an experienced Linux user so I expect the software side of things is going to be relatively straightforward.)

Thanks in advance. Cheers!

Great tip, thanks! I just assumed that if they did ship to Australia, it'd be expensive, but no: free shipping on orders above $AU45. And their prices are the best.
