Who else can I try?
Looked at JB Hifi, the seem to have only std stuff and kit lenses..

Hmm...so you had a bad experience at Teds. That's a bit unusual in my experience. In Adelaide, they're usually pretty good.
Having said that, I wouldn't consider buying from somewhere like JB's or Hardly Normal - cameras are not their specialty.
Even though Teds was an epic fail, stick to buying through a dedicated camera store.

$824 from eglobaldigitalcamera.c​om.au. I use them all the time. Great prices and service.

Where are they based?
Only asking, as they are a au site, but shipping (FedEx) to Melbourne is $99.00!!

Canon Australia's list of 12 dealers in Melbourne area:

http://www.canon.com.a​u …vice=sales&Cate​goryID=410

They must pay Canon to be on that list therefore the price being higher to cover it..

I purchased the Tamron 17-55 2.8 from somewhere in HongKong on Ebay Friday. Im in Alabama, USA..It arrived Yesterday! has a one year warranty, and works PERFECT!. I love it. Probably one of my favorite lenses I have used so far. I love the 2.8 on a zoom [the first zoom Ive purchased under f 3.5] It makes such smooth photos.

You defiantly get what you pay for... I was also looking at Tamron / Sigma, but decided to go with Canon..
