Plug sockets in Oz???

We are going for a reccie on 21st March for 3 weeks (Brisbane), what are the plug sockets like there? Will we need an adaptor to plug our stuff in? What kind/where can we get them from?

Cheers for that - I saw some in Boots the other day and they were for the USA as well as Australia, they just had the two sloping pins in and not the third vertical one....is that right? The pins could be turned so they were vertical for use in USA and sloping for use in Australia.
