You should have no trouble finding them in McLaren Vale. $40-50 is a little low and you might struggle at that price.

Wineries might sell you old barrels for that price, they get less than half that when they sell them to companies who on sell them as 1/2 barrels for pots or full barrels for bar ornaments. Ring around and see.

If you want one to actually use (ie. fill with wine or beer etc) then you need to spend a lot more otherwise you won't get any oak character coming through.
