http://www.fishpond.com.au/ Australia's Biggest Online Bookstore - all our book prices are better than Amazon. Guaranteed.
Woolworths, Shop online. Woolworths homeshop delivers your groceries, liquor and more direct to your door.
Coles Online do the same.
There are loads of online Computer Shops, Camera Shops,
It is happening, but many people seem to like local shops here, so it may be slow to change, to what the migrants are used to.

You're right, you can 
Another good site is http://www.bookdepository.co.uk
Their search facility isn't brilliant so you need to browse on Amazon then look up the titel on Book Depository. Worth the extra hassle for the free postage

Well worth keeping as a link to search through though, I'd not come across them before, thanks

Re: Basic differences between Aus and the UK
I know we have strayed off thread a bit but following on with the book issue, I too am finding them very expensive. I think its a case of keeping your eye out for bargains - I've bought a few from QBD as they have some excellent bargains from time to time, I haven't used them online, I just go into the shop and browse!
