I agree with Gilmista; the equipment u get will have a big influence on how good u become and how fast...
Everyone will tell u to go the Technics 1200 or 1210s, that's because these are pretty much the industry standard. Sure u can get cheeper ones (or more expensive ones for that matter), but all the clubs and even the big events like Two Tribes and Godskitchen use these, so it's probably best to get used to them from the start (they are also very solid, have a good torque, and will last you a looonnngg time)
As for a mixer.. get one that has at least 3 channels so there's room for expansion. Usually u can get the same mixer in both 2 and 3 channel. But the brand and hence quality of the mixer depends on your budget. Best not to go overboard here as you can always upgrade to a better one when u've decided you want to stick with dj'ing.
Headphones. Get a decent pair. You want to hear everything that's going through your mixer channels, not just what your headphones want you to hear. Again headphones can get very expensive, so look at your budget. Those Sennheiser HD-25s are awesome, but they do cost around $400, and there are cheaper ones that will do the job fine.
Speakers. Well this is totally upto you. You can play your mixing through your bedroom stereo, or you can go all out and spend $30 grand on a pair of those Yamagatchi, or whatever they're called, loud speakers.
I'm really not sure where to go in QLD for dj gear. If u look hard and ask around there should be a few speciality shops. (Even the Sanity dance arenas will stock dj equipment - but it's expensive) Look at prices on the net just for reference, and also look at second hand Technics turntables as they last for ever.
Also take a look at the: "What equipment are you guys using" thread, It should be still up, just have to look for it in the subsequent threads pages after the first one.
Hope this helps, and best of luck with ur djing.
