I don't know if you've got many of the European finches over in Aussie but if you are able to find any Linnets then these really are the bird you want,

Hi Stuart,
We don't have huge numbers of European finches here. Historically, we have had Bullfinches, European Siskins, European Linnets, European Greenfinches, European Goldfinches and Redpolls. The only ones that I'm sure still exist are Goldfinches and Greenfinches....both are readily available and inexpensive. The Goldfinch has been long-established in the wild and as it is non-native is commonly trapped. Along with the Greenfinch, it is also aviary bred. I'm not sure of the current status of any of the others.

No Linnets here now.
Oh right ok, that's a shame not having linnets over in Aussie, mind you if you've got goldies there then these are quite nice singing birds aswell,
Over here in England some breeders are still very up on the quality of singing goldies
