    I am sorry to read about the limited choices and high prices in (at
    least some parts of) Austalia. Here in the US, we are truly blessed
    (and spoiled) by a wide range of choices and prices. 

    A friend of mine who lives in Argentina is faced with similar
    shopping difficulties, compounded by the likelihood, she says, that
    packages shipped into the country from the US will be stolen. Her
    solution might not be too ideal for Australians, but... she either
    waits until she can make a trip to the US herself, or someone she
    knows is going, and has them bring her tools and materials she
    orders from Rio or other suppliers. 

    Good luck with the group-order idea!
