Sensia around $AU10-$AU12 36 exp, not sure about the others.

The minilab I use is on the expensive side but very good (relatively) quality, 
develop & print to 6"x4" is $AU24.

Most of the Melbourne city camera shops are in a localized area centred on mid 
Elizabeth Street.  I find Camera Lane & Camera Exchange to be pretty good.  
There are also some good camera shops in the suburbs, but probably not worth 
the effort if you are a tourist.  WARNING !  Stay away from the Cash Converters 
!

Prices for equipment seem to be generally lower than in the US of A and UK from 
what I have seen.  There is plenty of the "ordinary" OM gear around (e.g. 35-70 
zooms, 200mm, 35mm f2.8, etc.), but finding a 90mm f2 might be a challenge.

Let me know if you require more details.
