Bunnings. Wont have Oregon or teak but the various pine and Tasmanian oak would do. Also treated pine varnishes up well!

Welcome Chris, Old doors yield some lovely timber, Douglas fir, western red cedar, hoop pine some times you might even find Aussie cedar, beech, mahogany etc. Ofcoarse it only comes in 7ft lengths with annoying mortises cut in it, tho they usually come with corresponding tendons that are good to glue into the afore mentioned holes.
maybe not what you think, but I never let a chance go by, after you get years of paint of you will find woods that just can't be got no more ever.
Alternatively you could run down some decking the usual hardware mobs sometimes have some nice indoenisan rainforest jobs merbu etc good luck
