Hey guys. i new in Australia and i was wondering where is the best place to buy Anime, manga or any japanese stuff online in Australia?
It depends what you are after, and if you are looking for Australian-based retailers. You can order direct from madman.com.au for what they distribute, or get DVD's/blu-rays from places like jbhifi.com.au or from more specialised stores like shintokyo.com.au (they carry a lot more than what they show online so email or telephone contact is most likely needed). My local music/hifi shop is able to order Madman video titles for me, so I also use that.
For music I use cdjapan.co.jp (even though they are not the cheapest, they do the best packaging), occasionally using the Hong Kong based play-asia.com and the forwarding service fromjapan.co.jp (great for stuff that will only ship to a Japanese address).

Part District 9 meets O Maidens in Your Savage Season, part grimdark deconstruction of Doraemon.― Many anime films are adapted from manga and Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction is no exception.

However, this is not the case with the first Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destructi...
