Here's one source here at GB, he's a fair guy and quick shipping.
Don't know about him shipping down under, but you can send him a note and find out.
Best,

What you need for the Model 1903 is .22 Winchester Automatic ammunition. No other ammuntion should be used in the Model 1903, it would be unsafe!
.22 Winchester Auto ammunition was made only for the Model 1903, and is hard to get and expen$ive........but here's a place that carrys it: http://www.22ammo.com/obsolete.html
Trust what Xracer tells you; he was around when folks used to shoot those 1903's on a regular basis! Seriously, he is correct in warning you that the 1903 used a special Winchester prorietary .22 rimfire ammunition which cannot be used in any other firearm nor can standard .22 LR rimfire be used safely in your 1903. These little rifles are entertaining to shoot, but at more than 25 cents each time you pull the trigger and with the brass non reloadable it gets rather pricey rather quickly.

Actually, I did used to use an '03 to shoot rats at the Bucksport (Maine) Town Dump in the '40's....and a hardware store in town actually stocked the ammo for it!
