While this WAS true, something seems to have recently changed and we can now get R134a over the counter.

SCA now have it - CRC AC Charge Refill & Hose - 400g - Supercheap Auto

And there's an auto-cool specialist up your way that sells online...CoolKiwi.

My cooling performance has dropped off a little over the last year - I think I have a very slow leak. Might try one of these one day.

*edit* I see CoolKiwi also does a gauge set...
