i don't live in Perth but i manage to get some Eco-brick off line, E BAY.

i find that to, we don't get much choice on animal products or animals like PP or E or Straws or Indos they will have a special place in my heart such as countries like USA. oh well at least we get Aussie that are crazily awesome!!! :D

I've never had any problems with 'Impulse Buying'. They're just animals that I forgot I had planned to get.

Realise this is a very old thread but just thought I'd add this link for anyone else also looking for it.

WA is actually one of the best places to be looking for crab stuff because you have crazy crabs which is owned by the guy that supplies most of the crabs we buy.

Probably one of very few stores dedicated to crabs in Australia.

While I don't necessarily agree with all his instructions about keeping crabs it does have a lot of supplies by the look of it.

I'm not in WA myself but I have purchased and had shells posted to me from him.
