yeah, I think it was called Illpapero, or something like that. I think it was on one of the little lane ways, maybe little Collins stree.

A friend of mine was asking me recently about Quill pens, and where he might buy one from, I told him just to make some. We went out and got some birds feathers from nature and a few bright coloured ones from a store and I showed him how to cut a nib. He and his kids are quite happy with that. Last I was there they had a whole assortment of inks as well.
Of course, you can buy better Quills with nice machine made nibs that work better than hand cut ones, but it filled a purpose and they were all happy with it.

The different inks makes a whole new facet. Mixing inks is fun too...
