Carbon fibre tubing source please

Hi folks, toying with the idea of making a truss tube for my ten inch scope to reduce weight.
Is there anywhere in Aus that sells carbon fibre tubing at a price that makes the conversion affordable.
Thanks in advance

I have built a couple of truss tube scopes and yes carbon tubing is available in Australia. I bought mine off of these guys:

You can talk to Frank Udora at public missiles. https://publicmissiles.com/product/composites
They use offcuts and can match and predrill for you.
