Noticed a link on ebay with s set of hilos - I've never seen them before:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/MINI-HILO-BI ... 1702924715

More expensive than a lot of others, but billet aluminium and Australian made. Not planning on buying (I already have hilos), but just curious, as I've never seen these before.

Karcraft has Australian made billet ones. Machined by a toolmaker friend of mine in Kings Park, NSW.
Matt Read `TheMiniMan' has local billet ones too, up in Brissy.
