Material: Strips in Australia

Hi - I've just moved to Australia and am researching the building of a Night Heron & Guillemot S.
Could anyone point me at where I could get the strips from? Ideally I'd like to get them cut into 3/5" x 1/4" strips with coves & beads as it is not practical to do this where I live.
What type of local wood is suitable?
I'm also trying to cost the materials. Could anyone share their breakdown of costs? In particular a breakdown of the cost to build in Australia.

Many thanks.
Simon
