Well, even though I live in Alabama, US, and have never been down under this may work. Here is what I did. I've bought two 6x8',3/4" thick horse stall mats at the local CoOp ( I'm sure you have got those locally down under. That, a set of rubber plates, and a 28 mm bar is all you need to practice Olympic lifting, and deads, rows etc. Paid 100 US $ for those two mats, they are cheap and when combined with rubber plates do an awesome job of protecting a garage/basement floor. Hope this helps. Cheers mate.

The only one I've ever seen for sale was made by York, and sold for about $2500! They sell them to universities and pro football teams. You'd do better to build one yourself, out of sheets of 3/4" plywood, and 3/4" stall mats.
No brain, no gain.
