They’ve also got the Flextrack for doing “funky” stuff, too.
Next there are the turnouts you’ll be using, Insulfrog, Electrofrog or the new Unifrog, and if you’re going to automate them.

(I suggest using servos to do your automation if you’re going down that path)
Brunel Hobbies have a little DIY servo kit and motor for around A$12.

Have to agree with Nigel, my Track Preference is PECO. AU shops have most Track Variants.

Just did a quick google search and they appear to have dealers in Australia
