Australian board makers

HI every1 i’m new at this posting thing so…..
anyways i wanted to ask the boarding community wether anybody knows of any Australian shops or snowboarding companies that make there own boards within Sydney. The reason i’m asking is because for my yr12 design and technology project i wanted to make my own snowboard with my own graphics and such. I would like to do work experience to get hands on really get to know how to make a snowboard (Internet instructions aren’t really helpful). If anybody can help it would be greatly appreciated grin

 

I know apnea make snowboards in Aus you could try giving them a holler.
I think that they might be melbourne based and not sydney but give them a shot anyway: http://apneashredsticks.com/Apnea Contact/apneacontact.htm
