I got some okra seeds from the Asian Italian grocer on Shakespeare street.

theseedcollection.com I get most of my seeds from there. They are quite cheap, I paid less than $2 for a small pack of okra seeds. They are Chem/pesticide free, non GMO etc and have a good selection of heirlooms too! Or, go to the Whitsundays markets in Mackay on a Wednesday morning, buy a bag of okra & harvest the seeds from them. Maybe plant into a big pot on a wheel base so u can move it in & out depending on the weather without hurting your back :)

Try Boondie Seeds. I have no idea about where to grow it - rent or farm - ask around or try pots.
