In Adelaide there are at least two stores specialised in "period" hardware. I would be surprised if you did not have the equivalent in Brisbane. Look for "salvage, "restoration" in the yellow pages, a couple of phone calls should be enough to get you on the right track. Welcome and best wishes.

Try rural stores or fencing mobs. Most will be Gal but a coat of primer and some stove black or the like and finished.
If you want a better vintage/antique look, burn of the Gal allow to rust for a couple of days, hit with a wire brush and then apply some dark wax. Damien.I'm a dancing fool! The beat goes on and I'm so wrong!!!!

Page 16 of the Furniture H/Ware PDF from Goods & Chattels has a few different styles of hinges in the type you want

If you count 'delivered by mail' as in Brisbane, then Lee Valley have a nice variety of heavy & medium iron hinges - MoPS have a very limited range of the medium, brown rust finish ones.
On the Internet, I'd avoid 'Van Dykes' Restorers' as the quality if some of their stuff is very poor & they charge like the proverbial wounded bull. Nice pictures tho'
