Possible solution, buy some barley seed,(produce store or get it at the
local supermarket) and grow your own.
Yellow pages? for produce stores.

I've got an algae problem in my pond and I'm having hassles finding a
cheap source of barley straw in Sydney. Bunnings sell 100
gram packs for around $20, but that is an outrageous ripoff. I can't
see why it shouldn't cost the same as sugar cane, common
straw or lucerne. The few remaining nurseries around here don't stock
barley straw. Any ideas where I might get a bale of it?

Thanks.
