Welding aluminium in Sydney

Does anyone have a TIG welder? I have snapped a mounting point on the base of an LX200 tripod and need to weld it back together. I am located in the inner-west of Sydney.

I tried my local panel beater already.

That is likely to be cast aluminium and that will be problematic to weld, as it is difficult to obtain good qualities welds on cast aluminium. I would take it to a speciality aluminium welder such as All Aluminium Welding in Sydney.
