You could try Hibiscus World at Deception Bay - they seem to cover all of the hibiscus family and associates.

You can get Aibika from Edible Landscape Nursery, Northey Street, Windsor (I think they are open Tue-Thur from 9-12) or from Honnef's Fruit and Nut Tree Nursery in Narangba.

Try and find a Tongan or Fijian in town. You have plenty of PNG people living in Qld as well. They all know of someone who grows it. In language (fji or tonga) it's called Bele. all you need is some cuttings and within 2-4 months you will have some great aibika plants!
