in response to a request from Courtee1- this one's for you! ; )

Sigma ship worldwide, and so do allcosmeticswholesale.com where you can also pick up sometimes discounted / travel size Sigma. Also coastalscents will ship to Australia for reasonable prices. Right now with the exchange rate as it is, it's an even better deal !! Within Australia, http://www.crushcosmetics.com.au/tools/makeup-brushes?sort=20a&page=3 you can find Elf, Coastal Scents, and some Nyx brushes on Crush Cosmetics too.

Edited to add Crown Brushes: I have not tried any Crown brushes but have seen enough raves about these brushes and am very impressed that they do have an Australian website with reasonable prices so would put that forward as a suggestion too!
