Not sure if they are sold in Australia by anyone? Maybe someone can help me out if they are? Protea are made in South Africa and i have seen them in the UK and in NZ but not in Oz before They are a good little more sold pretty cheap around the world, would be ideal for what your after.

Maybe you can go a harder on the Kikuyu to start with as its a grass that can take it. Lots of bowling green reel mowers can have adaptations like the attached picture. Its often worth having one mower just for cutting and one just for verticutting. The mowers will have longer life spans that way. But I would aim to verticut every 2 weeks in the growing season about once a month in winter. Not sure what Toowooma is like you might have 12months growing season?
