Ben,

That would be TIB at http://wireless.org.au/tib/

There's 24dBi Hills antennas for $164 (no mods required) and brand new 
Galaxys for $130 (require modification).

In Perth, unmodified 18dBi Galaxys generally sell for about $20, and 
unmodified 24dBi Galaxys sell for about $40.

You might be interested in looking at my modification at 
http://ii.net/~mpot/wireless/conifermods.cgi

Testing this mod vs the more common Galaxy mod indicates at least 3dB 
better signal strength (and 3dB = doubling in signal strength).
See http://ii.net/~mpot/wireless/conifertest.cgi for test details and 
results.

Cheers,
Martin.
