Everything except the engines can come from OS if you want, but hobby stores all carry them across Australia.

The engines technically cannot be sent through the post, but again, the hobby stores (e.g. Hobbyco) all carry a good range of engines or can get them in.

The prices are very reasonable, it seems to me.

Very cool. I've often wondered about those rockets that go up high enough to potentially be in flight paths of planes etc. Do you need permission? Or just be aware of the flight paths?

There is also the Australian Youth Rocketry Challenge for anyone else out there with kids.
