yep, no chance of EVER seeing them in a shop here, and no local dealers... nearest is Ace Colony near sydney.
Adam Fitzgerald (friend of mine) had an article in the latest birdkeeper about them.

You would have far better chance of getting them from WA.
I am not sure if GaryMc has any available, from memory they were under $200
I also have a mate in Sydney who may be thinning out some of his stock.
There was a site on softbills comming out of WA but I am not sure what happened to it
It maybe still going
I will check if you wish on the off chance my mate still has them available.

you seem to be well connected Orix, know anyone in Canberra who's selling an aviary about 3.65 x 2.5m :roll:

An aviary that size will not be easy but I will do some asking with a few of my Canberra contacts.
Don't hold your breath for a quick solution though.
