Or is that too common for you? Buying stuff of Canadians (ahem) or Americans is still viable if it's inder 1 kg, the shipping ain't too bad. After that it gets prohibitive.

My first Tiki I had to make myself because they really are rare here. 'Garage sales' & St Vincent de Paul outlets can sometimes show up an unwanted treasure, as can suburban markets. Our proximity to the South Pacific (it's on our doorstep) means that lots of homes across Sydney have artifacts people have brought back from Fiji,New Zealand,Cook Islands,Hawaii & PNG. Sometimes these items don't match the owners decor or modern tastes & they are then discarded for us to rediscover! Keep your eyes peeled & you'll be lucky - otherwise, sharpen your woodcarving tools! Cheers & good luck

I've been doing a bit of #1 but mostly #2. You have to have an interest in making stuff though... and my interest in making stuff is extremely high!

I just thought if anyone sees the word Australia and is new to the forum and is looking for stuff in Australia than I can help them out. I have met a lot of people in the last 3 months that are looking to meet other tiki people in Australia....I thought that is what these forums were about.
