Does anyone know where in Australia I can find Saphir products?

None of the following are useful options:

* ebay (poor range)
* http://www.valmour.fr (No shipping to Australia)
* http://www.francos.com (Obscure - what colour is what?)

If Saphir can't be had in Australia, what would the next best option be?

Did try and locate some stuff in Oz a while back but had no luck either.

Was speaking with someone at Franco's about shipping some of the stuff to Australia, but they went on leave and I didn't end up chasing it up once they got back.

I just use kiwi polishes ... they work great (don't use the parade black though) and a shoe conditioner that is made in Germany and is readily available down here. The name escapes me at the moment though.

daille d'Or is a little bit 'thicker' than the De Luxe. That's all.
