I am considering buying fabric online as our local spotlight store just doesnt have a very good range. I also have very few quilt shops close by so thought I would like to buy online so are there any online fabric shops that you can recommend?

I am also an Aussie quilter and I have used http://www.hancocks-paducah.com/
If you sign up for their HOP Mail, the link is at the top of the page, they send you special offers which include free shipping to Australia if you spend over $100 US and you can also buy batting, their prices shown are for 1/2 a yard so just be aware. Good service, I have never has a problem.
I recently bought from http://www.whittlesfabrics.com/
prices are fantastic shipping can get expensive, great service I had my fabric in 6 days. PM me if you want anymore info.
Hope this helps

http://stores.ebay.com/CROWSNESTQUIL...1QQ_fsubZQ2d33

crowsnest ships to australia at 8 yds for $13.45 and 28 yds For $43.45.
how does that compare?

they have excellent quality and service, and the prices are very low. it's easy to get carried away. if you really wanted to go hog-wild, you should probably email them and come to an agreement about cost for more weight.
