I have to say that the anvils in the ad above look bloody awful - I wouldn't use one at half the price! A good anvil needs a tempered face and a soft cutting table, not to mention the hardie and pritchel holes. Keep your eyes open on ebay and contact as many blacksmiths as you can. I got my 112lb London pattern anvil from a local blacksmith who was slimming down his business and it cost me about the same as the god-awful Menin Tools anvil above - with a good leg-vice thrown in.
Ironbark sounds good for an anvil stand - just wish we had it in the UK. Here we use elm (which is hard to come by since the dread Dutch elm disease outbreak). Whatever you use, you need enough to set at least a foot into the ground and to have the anvil at a height so that your knuckles can touch the face when you stand next to it (I prefer to have it two inches higher, but I've got a bad back!).
Lakes Forge are extremely good for tools, as is Glendale Forge - you'll certainly need hot and cold setts, fullers and flatters if you're going to start forge work.

Good luck!
