For the 20-25mm range try Explore Scientific 68° series. They (20mm and 24mm) are relatively cheap and and would cost you about $200 AUD delivered from US. Not sure who is selling them here in Australia. ES 68° 24mm is arguably the best in the 68° series with great image.

If you are willing to pay more then try Explore Scientific 82° Series 30mm - an outstanding eyepiece for very moderate price. Solid piece of glass and metal. Weight 1kg(!!!) About $300 USD. I guess only TV Nagler 31mm or Ethos/Delos can beat it, but at a completely different price.
Thanks so much, will look into ES eyepieces
