I think its a similar story for DIY electronics shops everywhere - there's one here in Australia called Dick Smith Electronics that really doesn't sell much DIY electronics anymore ... they're now mainly retailers - phones, TVs, sim cards, PC parts, sound, cameras. Few weeks ago I asked one of the staff if they sold Raspberry Pis but he'd never heard of it.


In Australia, Jaycar (and to a lesser extent Altronics) have long taken over from Dick Smith.

Jaycar stores stock a reasonable supply of electronics components, and has outlets in most parts of Australia.

Yeah agreed Jaycar is decent, although they still don't sell the RPi - although they have got a good range of Arduino gear. RS Components is I believe the main RPi supplier in Aus - fast & free delivery as well. I just ordered the Model B+ from them.
