Yes, its a strange thing. I tried all sorts of local shops (DSE, Jaycar, K-Mart) - even garden supplies and outdoor places. As the OP found, the ones Bunnings (large hardware chain store) sell are not made by Fine Offset. Mine turned up on Friday. I bought it from the CrazySales eBay store mentioned earlier in the thread.
The station is a Maxkon branded WS-1081. I can understand why people want to replace the original electronics. The user interface is pretty annoying and I can't find anywhere in the setup procedure to apply compensation for altitude. Its readings for barometric pressure are way off, due to my location being at 200m above sea level.
