Almost every shop which sells climbing gear will sell webbing by the meter. Google how to set one up, you don't have to buy a fancy kit.

Hmmm, identity theft from within one's own home. How can I post above question when I'm in the land of
nod? Methinks notsohumble daughter number 1 has commandeered my login. Retribushin will follow.... or
maybe I ignore and hope to recieve new fun toy in Santa sack?

I'm surprised Slacklineryan hasn't piped up... His website appears to sell kits.

All you need is about 10m of webbing, 3 biners and 2 individual chain links. I bought 2 chain links from bunnings for $2. Just make sure they are wide enough to pass the doubled over webbing through twice.

I brought mine from ROCK Hardware (sponsor on page left)- Steve gave me a great deal on an "Aus Alpine" 15m. It's been sweet fun to learn on; I'v used it almost every day (for the last 2 months...)
Otherwise try Slackline Australia; http://www.slacklineaustralia.com/

got mine from climbing anchors, the basic kit is more than sufficient to learn on!
but now that I (kinda) know what i'm doing, when I upgrade to a longer kit will just buy gear as Paul and Climboholic have mentioned- you don't really need to spend that much $$ plus you can improve the tension system yourself.
