hey Will ,
I use these guys as they are local and really helpfull ....
http://guitarwoods.com.au. fret wire is running for $16 @ meter ..
As far as reso's go I have made one for a laugh out of a cake mould and its works real neat .......
I reckon the best thing to do is find someone local roll out there with some beer and get chatting ... Its never what you know its who...
good luck .

Hey Will, I use split (cotter)pins, supa glued on haha but I am a tight-arsed cheat!

Sorry - I have just revisted all the aussie pics and seen the resos there. On another topic entirely - fret wire in australia...any ideas, I can only buy from one place locally at $20AUD a metre.. so it looks like a stewmac order might be appropriate.

hey, stoked to find an Aussie group up here, if theres any CBG builders in brisbane give us a shout. I've made a few biscuit tin banjos so far, mostly with salvaged materials from Reverse Garbage in West End, hope I can get some good tips off folks. EV.

G'day Rod and all here, like to know how it goes on the box front, good big boxes are hard to find and the American market has so may different boxes so good luck, hope he comes through for you.

Hey Rod ....I'm interested also ...I'm in sydney .
Count me in ..cheers

Hey Rod! Man I love this site!
Yeah I like the boxes as long and wide as possible with a width of between 5- 7 cm. Basically the more flat rectangular ones as these are the best proportioned.
its all cool about the P&P or any other drop off idea, count me in bro.
