got a couple bottles from Amcal for about $6 the other day, 100ml botles called Glycerol B.P. the chemist swore to meit was identical to glycerine and seems to work well in lather IMO.
Hope helps

FYI, glycerine and glycerol are synonymous and BP simply stands for British Pharmacopeia, meaning it meets British pharmaceutical standards.

I get mine from Coles, I think Woolworths have it to. Have a good look around the medicine isle, my Coles have it on the bottom shelf in a 200mm bottle, that look just like this one but I think the label was brown, and obvoiusly it says Glycerine not paraffin.

Try the large hobby stores, you should be able to find it in the soapmaking section.
