is there any issues with getting it though??? Im only planning on using an electric drill, but thought it might be useful for $10 to upgrade in case I motorise later on. The drill will still work with a 1/2 inch shaft wont it?

*added 1/2 inch shaft - seems to be a theme with adelaideans

@ citymorgue2 you will need a 13mm chuck with 1/2 inch shaft - most cordless drills are only 10mm

So with all these new mills being purchased...

...will there be a bulk buy for grain to follow soon (once we all recover from the mill $ outlay)??

I recommend future proofing your mill and adding the 1/2" option. JIC you decide to motorise later.
