Finding such a stump will be the least of your problems. Getting it to Cairns might be a little more difficult.
I have a couple that have been 3 years in large polystyrene boxes so well established, plenty of new shoots all over and some initial carving done on the trunks. Both too big to post so unless you can work out logistics of getting them moved they are pickup only.
Also a number of smaller stumps in 30 cm orchid pots. Collected 2 years ago.
