>where can i get one of these in Oz?

online through alpacka in the States.

There are around 20 or 25 of them in Oz according to the manufacturer. I have one - one of the larger size ones (Fjord Explorer), which I bough s/h off a trout guide in tassie. Another is in the northern beaches, a few in Tassie and one guy in melbun has three or four.

frankly I am getting all evangelical about them and love my rig to bits. If I had the spare kitty I'd buy another to have a backup for partners. I have a few MTB-paddle-MTB rides in my head... just need the planets to align.

If you're ever near 'gongland gizzabell and you can have a look. They are light as hell and tuff as f---.
