What??!!!! I know - incredible. In Queensland there's probably more stores that stock this sort of stuff, (even Byron Bay in NSW) but not here in Melbourne. So anyway, here are the details: Tropical Thatch 5/800 Cnr Plenty rd & Albert St Reservoir Victoria http://www.tropicalthatch.com Here's a snippet of what they sell: Various Thatch roofing (Balinese & African styles) Various wall coverings Various masks Some Hebel Concrete Tiki statues Loads of bamboo bars (drool!) Bamboo poles Timber poles On a side note: I wasn't planning on having any glass floats in my bar as I'm going for a jungle Tiki bar as opposed to a nautical Tiki bar.. but when I saw the glass floats there... I couldn't help myself so I bought some... This is what happens when you have so little here in Australia!
