Hi Ash,
Would be happy to give you some but I'm in Melbourne and sending second hand material could be an issue. However, when I was your age I used to snip a bit of our dog's hair, pluck dead possums, dead birds that cats had caught, raid my mother 'mending' basket, use bits of wool, strip electrical wire and anything else I could find to get bits I needed - I still do salvage tying materials from dead jandals and other bits an pieces I think I can use. You will be surprised what you put together with a bit of imagination. I caught my first trout in the Avon on a tie I made myself with red wool and hair from our family dog to make .... a hairy dog.
Cheers,
Kiwioz

Hi Ash,
As discussed by pm have posted you a wide range of dubbing, threads, hooks, chenille, flashbou and bits and pieces - did not want to risk hackle getting stopped by customs- put little bit of aerowing in instead. You should get the parcel in the next few days. Happy tying.
Cheers,
Kiwioz
