Thanks to everyone for these suggestions: Hiscocks Saddlery at Queanbeyan was great, with genuinely helpful friendly staff and an unexpectedly huge range of hats including Akubra etc. Definitely worth the trip across the border.

I second the suggestion of Hiscocks. Definitely the best range.

Not quite the answer you were seeking, but a weekend trip to the Blue Mountains could include a visit to the Katoomba Hattery. They really know their stuff. No, I do not own shares in it. Just a satisfied customer.

Also workwear shops such as Workin Gear
