Thank you guys, really appreciate it.

I've got my eye on a Williams Tui but that's on for the future. Am going to start on the savings plan now!

Going to have a look through some of the other suggestions now.

Have a look through the Gallery on the Australian and New Zealand Luthiers Forum HERE. You can get in touch with any of them via PM.

Another vote for Jack Spira. And also David Worthy; they both build very nice steel strings!

A vote for Daniel Hoban in Melbourne - recommended to me by Jack Spira when he was too busy to take on my commission. Daniel did a fantastic job - Google him and you'll find the build thread on my guitar on AGF and the ANZLF. Good luck and enjoy the ride!
