Lots of them to be had - you've just got to know where to look!
Try the Hang Gliding Federation of Australia (HGFA) website (http://www.hgfa.asn.au/) - set up an account and check the for sale part of the Forums - plenty of good cheap wings there. Otherwise, try the PG/HG club websites eg there are several wings being advertised on the Canberra website (http://www.acthpa.org/forums/), or a popular retailer of second hand gear in Melbourne (http://www.paraglidingheadquarters.com/pre-loved.html), or contact Godfrey at Manilla, Tamworth (http://www.flymanilla.com/Equipment/tabid/151/Default.aspx). Etc etc. Failing that, you can always use the international paragliding forum (www.paraglidingforum.com/) - our dollar being strong has allowed some of my friends to pick up some crazy bargains from OS!
Good luck with the ground handling - it really is one of the secrets in being able to fly well and safely. PM me if you need more info.
