They look to be the 5mm head ones. Thanks for looking though....
I also just tried ordering a pack from that UK website.... shipping was 25 pounds or around $44AUD!!!! That starts to make them a little expensive......

Thanks for that Brett, I had tried searching the net but must have been using bad keywords.... Hopefully i can find some locally but failing that its good to know i can get them via the UK. What search terms did you use?
Josh: The office orders their stationary via office works and they do not stock them so the pins at work were either ordered long ago or bought on a whim from elsewhere...
Thanks again for all the help everyone.
Joe.
I ended up using the google image search under map pins. Saved alot of reading
That postage is a joke!

Were the 8mm ones the round ball headed type? 8mm could be close enough... better 8mm than 5mm.

Who would have thought that a pin could warrant 30 odd responses.

If those aren't the ones, it may be worth contacting them to see if they have the 10mm head ones.
Edit: Sorry, I was referring to those on the OkOffice Supplies website

Saw 8mm ones in Campbells Newsagency, Marion, SA today, should have looked for the brand/company details so you could hunt for others, sorry, but did think of you!

Hi everyone. I found them. I had to go to new Zealand for work And spotted some in a $2 shop. I bought the 3 packs they had. Hopefully u can find a local source for the future but the packs I got in nz should last me a few years.
Thanks again to everyone who kept an eye out.
