Stan,
I am an organic fruit and veg retailer and stock Cox's Orange Pippin.
Unfortunately I am located in Victoria.
What you could do is contact an organic fruit and veg retailer or
contact one
of the organic certifying bodies such as the Biological Farmers
Association
(BFA) they are on the web at www.bfa.com.au. They should help you
locate a
grower in your area.
Organic retailers generally stock heritage apples.
I got a few boxes in this morning and they are a great apple to eat.

Good luck

Thanks for the info. I thought I had it last year and ordered a box
from a grower. They turned out to be a beautiful looking hybrid Cox's,
but not the original with that browny green skin and yellow flesh. It's
still the largest seller in the UK but have never seen them in
Australia. I believe the problem with them is the shelf life.
