I've always had pet rats and have never been interested in hamsters or gerbils because l thought they were basically guinea pigs. Can you get them in Victoria? I've never seen them advertised, or in a pet shop.

No. Australian laws are very strict about allowing hamsters or gerbils into Australia.. it is not allowed at all (with one exception, lab studies). Due to their prolific breeding and the likelihood of people getting bored of them and letting them wild, within a few years Australia would be overrun with them.
