I am surprised that there isn't a comparable supply company in the colony..... :-)

There is no one supplier of everything like EC. I can piece together most things from all over the country, but it's taken a long time to build those networks.

Australia is very behind the times with composites, for the most part the industry is still pool builders and boat builders. Some of the boat builders are doing very advanced stuff, which is why these products can be sourced if you look hard enough. But it makes sense; Australia is a bloody massive place, very far away from the rest of the world, and the market is very small. I certainly wouldn't want to be in the supply game here.
