Go and say gidday to the folks in the General Woodturning Forum (http://www.woodworkforums.com/f8/).

Try the Woodturners society of Qld. Inc. They are at Greenslopes, not so far away.

both my wife and i did courses with him and would thoroughly recommend him

Lia ,
You may come across a turner who is local to you at the Brisbane Woodturning Symposium
Welcome to The 2010 Australian Woodturning Symposium (http://www.tymba.com.au/symposium.htm) .
But you had better hurry , it finishes on Sunday .
There are Hands-on After Classes being held the following week at number of locations around the South-East of Queensland Welcome to The 2010 Australian Woodturning Symposium (http://www.tymba.com.au/afterclass.htm)
good luck

Lia,
As some others have mentioned..talk to Rob McKee at Woodturners Society of Qld in Pine Street, Greenslopes.
I have done 3 courses there...Spindle, Bowl & Sharpening and they are worth every cent...especially for beginners as I am.
