I would bet there is a producer somewhere in your are, Graham, although there may not be a commercial source. All it takes is a source of honey. But then, I know that all you Australian's drink is big cans of beer.;)

well we have the best honey in the world here, so I guess there must be some good mead about!

Graham, you could always take it upon yourself to make some for yourself, and to introduce mead to the wilds of Tasmania.
All it takes is some research,
a little instruction,
some basic equipment,
and the three ingredients: honey, water, and yeast.
Wait six months, and voila!
Then you can start getting crazy and adding fruit, aging with oak, and so on....
Andrew.
