Default Supplier help please

I am looking for fine silver wire (for melting onto beads), silver leaf, and a few other little "oddities".
Who on here is able to ship to Australia? I don't know if I should put in the garage sale, but thought I would try here first.
Frantz doesn't have them, unfortuneatly, and I need to know where to go for some glass supplies. Help Please!
Thank you

I get all my chain and wire from A & E. They are very very helpful as most of them are silversmiths by trade. One woman there is also a lampworker so understands what you might want to accomplish.
