Noo, you need gear motors. While I live very, very far away from Australia,
I do know for a fact there are gearmotors in autralia. To be perfectly
blunt, (and somewhat curiously) You couldn't be an industrialized society
without gearmotors. There are quite a few of them in Australia, as much as
anywhere else. You just aren't looking in the rigth places. Try robotoz or
other Australian robotics distributers.

Good Day,
I'm just enquiring about a method of operating legs on a beam walker.
Geared motors are not available here in Australia, and geararray's are way
expensive, I have hobby motors which are known to not have themselves, maybe
a rubber band joined to the shaft and to the legs, that work?? or another
suggestion?? Thanks to any correspondance.
Timothy
