Hi again Rob,
Just had a thought, phillipean mahogany - luan, while having the bad distinction of being made into alot of cheap plywood in this country is a usable boatbuilding wood and comes from the far east so should be I'd think available in the land down under. It's actually a cedar with many of the characteristics of our cedars though as I remember it is slightly heavier and also slightly stronger. Might be a reasonable substitute.
