AVR-Chat

I just arrived in Australia and i will be living here for quite a
while. Mm... is it really that hard to get an AVR here? Coz usually in
indonesia we can buy them online very easily from
http://www.digi-ware.com (indonesian store). It's very cheap, the
prices are in Indonesian Rupiah. I compared to Dontronics, and i think
dontronics is 3 times more expensive. I'm not sure how much would it
cost for delivery from indonesia, but for local delivery it would cost
less than 2 dollars. And the payment is usually by bank transfer (BCA
Bank)

Just FYI, an ATmega8515 costs Rp55000 which is 7.4 AUD (1 AUD = Rp7400)

I live in sydney now, can anyone tell me where to buy some electronic
components such as cheap capacitors, multimeters, soldering wire, etc?
Are there any electronic components shop around kensington? thankyou
