Melbourne's kite stores suck! You have to buy online or go interstate to get what you want

Other option to consider is a dry for winter. Pretty much the same price as a wetty, just as flexible and warmer when you get out. Got one two years back and not sure I could ever go back to a wetty in winter.
Picked up a mystic drysuit 2 years for the same price as a wetty (Landed cost under $500) because UK finishes their winter as ours starts so you get the end of season specials and the GST comes off so that covers your cost of shipping. No GST this end because its under the $1000 cap. This is the place I got mine from and came with a free undersuit.
