Lawrie--

i can easily pick up some fittings designed to couple to American threaded garden hose connections, several male and several female, and the other end will have a rather standard fluted hose nipple on it for friction fit into 1/2" or so ID hose. You then put an automotive hose clamp around hose and nipple and have a connection.

You could even make short hose "adaptors" to go to whatever sizes you use down under.

i could try shipping them to you.

Don't know anything about duty and all there, but heck, the things only cost a buck or two this side so if declared, it might work.

if you want to follow up, send me a PM.
