Try a seach in www.mysimon.com and enter magellan, the site is a shopping service with hundreds of online merchants competing.

I use this service in the USA and never had a problem from any merchant.

I bought mine through a 3rd party via mall24/7 and received it no problems. If I were to do it again though, I would buy all the accessories over there as well and have it all shipped out together.
You will need an SD card, I have a Sandisk 64Mb card which fits the east coast of Oz. If you get a 128Mb card you'll fit all of Oz onto it, so go for the 128Mb one.
Buy an SD card reader/writer at the same time.
Get a genuine Magellan auxilliary power/data cable and vehicle mount. I bought an aftermarket cable here and while it works well I physically have to remove it from the gps unit if I want to remove the unit from the vehicle mount. The genuine cable/mounts allow you to simply remove gps unit from mount.
I bought a small pouch from the local $2 shop which fits perfectly and hangs off my belt.
Mapsend products you'll have to get here, Truckster may be able to point you in the right direction there.
It's a great unit, I love it but it certainly has more features than I know how to use at the moment.
Also join the Yahoo Magellan Meridian site that Truckster has posted links to recently, if you have a problem then those guys/gals almost certainly know the answer.

So what I gather from this (and other) threads is that you can order a Magellan GPS and accessories from the US, get an Australian basemap from the Meridian newsgroup and instal it, and you've saved about 50% compared to buying it locally. Does this also apply to the Sportrak Pro? What about warranty - I can't see the local distributor trying too hard to solve any warranty problems.
