.. specifically in either the Sydney or Brisbane CBDs? I can simply order many of the items online, but it's hard to get a feel for what will fit in them, the bulk of the bags and accessories, without touching them physically.
Some shops will have bits and pieces, a shoulder harness here, a sliplock pouch there.... But never the full range, or even half a range. I'm really after a deluxe belt, and some of the sliplock pouches, but can't find 'em anywhere...
I guess that's the same with anything.. you stock the items that sell. It's the same with the more interesting lenses too.

Teds opposite Hunter st in George St Sydney have most of the small bags, and G&V Imaging seemed to have lots of stuff (I'm not a big fan of LowePro so there may be bits missing). Those two are only a few minutes walk apart so you could reasonably hit them in one trip to Wynard.

Des,
The S&F system is vast of variation, therefore no one has full of its stock, you may select what actually you're after and create a list, then they will give you prices,
I stock S&F but attached pouches or bags or lens cases may have to order.

Thanks for the suggestions moz. I went to G&V, and they didn't have any belts or SL pouches. Haven't been to teds for a while, but last I was there, I didn't see any either..
Cheers birdy, I might send you an email...

losfp, I have a S&F setup with a couple of pouches and bag etc, can bring to a mini meet one day if you like to see and try out.
I'm sure you can also see a the Lowepro stand this weekend, usually have everything there at PICA

The S&F works well in conjunction with your backpack, you can grab what you need and run a bit lighter.
I did use more when I shot film having to carry several rolls and a seperate pouch for spent film rolls.
You may want to consider something like a DOMKE phot vest too, they will hold pretty much your whole backpack in gear
