There is an Australian supplier - I'm now getting my stuff from them -
contact me for details but you'll have to drive to Sydney to look at
what you want.

If you're already looking outside of Australia, may I
direct you to Greenberg & Hammer, specifically this
item, pop-front busks with silver clasp, from 6" to
17":
https://www.greenberg-hammer.com/store.asp?ItemID=195
And compare their boning prices.
If you have already purchased your boning, by all
means ignore this.

Well, I've got to look outside Australia as to my knowledge there
isn't an Australian supplier of spiral boning (I know of one SCA
merchant who offers flat steels and I won't see them untill next
easter anyway)
But Greenberg & Hammer have the same problem as most of the other
stores they don't offer 1/2 inch spiral steel in pre-cut lengths,
following the advice I seem to read everywhere that if you're above a
C cup 1/4 inch steels won't give enough support I'm looking for 1/2
inch steels but I don't want to cut my own, because I'm hoping this
will be the only corset I'll have to make with spiral bones, so
learning how to apply the tips for one corset would be more trouble
than it's worth (not to mention buying a pair of bolt cutters to cut it).
