We're another tall couple expecting a long baby. We actually picked up a second hand change table which seems to be the right height for us and I think it was originally bought from Babyco. It also seems to be longer than the average change table (we tried to buy a new mattress for it and haven't been able to find anything yet).
For the pram - we bought the Mountain Buggy. It has an ergonomically adjustable pram handle and is perfect for us (we've had a play with it in the store and when we got ours home).
For the baby sling, we haven't gotten that far yet - I'm waiting until the baby is here so I can see what is comfortable for all three of us once they are in it.
For cothes, I still have a few 0000 but mostly 000 and 00. It really depends on the KIND of clothes you are putting them in at the beginning. Being a summer baby, we have mostly legless bodysuits and we are expecting our babies length to come from the legs as opposed to the torso.
Another thing to consider is the kind of car seat you are going to use. We were told that most babies outgrow their seats in height before weight. We got a Safe'n'Sound seat that is suitable from birth to 18Kg and has this insert that you can extend upwards once they become too tall to receive adequate head protection from the "main" part of the seat. The extension (just slides up from the main bit and is attached when you buy it) gives a little extra time before having to move them to a different seat. I got mine from Baby Bunting (same as my pram) and I think it cost about $450 from memory.
