I'm afraid that I don't know anyone there, or where to buy materials. 
The only thing I know about buying materials is that you are somewhat 
limited in the number of places to go looking. Not sure what the 
shipping and import duty would be to have them printed here and 
shipped to you. I'm sure there are many people in Australia that have 
a 7800 or 9800, I just don't know any to recommend. If you decide to 
try the priting and shipping route, I may not be able to get the kind 
of results that one of the newer printers will produce, but I can get 
pretty close on canvas. If you do end up shipping things, you 
definitely want to have the stretching done locally to you. Shipping 
large stretched pieces would really "break the bank". 

For canvas I like the Intelicoat 17mil cotton/poly material, and a 
lot of people seem to like the Fredrix 901wr material.

I did take a look at the images, but with the size on those pages 
it's hard to tell what kind of final print size I think they could go 
to. General rule is that when the subject is in sharp focus, you will 
be able to keep the detail in the subject to a larger size. Images 
where the subject might have a slightly soft focus, then you won't be 
able to go as large before the detail falls off.
