Here's one on eBay. A wrecker would probably charge more.

If you could pickup a working one for around 20 bucks plus about 10 bucks postage it isn't bad considering reco ones sell for about $100-$150 through the auto elec.

Its a long way from Melbourne to FNQ - alts are a dime a dozen in Townsville and Cairns and I think one from a Magna, Falcon or Commo will fit. I think they go for around $40. Another cheap place is your dump where they sometimes have complete cars or look in peoples back yards....if its got grass growing around it they wouldnt mind swapping the alt for a slab.

open he up.. they are SO SO SO easy to recon. I worked in an auto elcey joint foor a couple of weeks. All they do is open them up change the 2 bearings, put new bushes in check the diodes and ...(the spiraling wire stuff) you will see if this is rooted cause there will be big black burn marks fromwhere it shorted out. All u they cos about $30 to recondition. lol and tothink they charge you HOW MUCH... lol
