KY Jelly is the go for fixing dodgy seals. In fact any water based lubricant should do the trick.
 
Another vote for grain and grape, good range, reasonable prices (check out the half price liquid yeast that's older than 6 months, it works just fine), very friendly staff when I went to have a look at an AG demo.

If you go see them, and want good beer with minimal effort, buy an ESB 15Kgs wort kit (see details and range at http://esbeer.com.au/category24_1.htm). Around $32, but you have all you need (it comes with yeast), just add 4-5 liters of water. No fooling around, boiling, hops, etc, just straight start fermenting. That should give you a taste for what real good homebrew can taste like, and enough time to read around and get a better feel of what you need/want.
Another alternative would be the ESB 3 Kgs pack, all you need as well, just need to add more water :)

Get a secondary fermenter, so you can transfer the beer when it's finished fermenting, it'll clear the brew more.

And read howtobrew, these forums and others, plenty of good information around.
