We are going into the wrong season now, but next season why don't you grow your own? For Melbourne - sow your seeds mid-spring so that the plants grow into summer. I have had a fantastic crop of okra this season and am still harvesting them. I have deep-frozen a whole lot of them so that I may enjoy them in winter. I am in Brisbane so that makes a big difference, but you could have a good crop as well provided you time you sowing seed/growing conditions right. Plant out about 10 - 12 plants for a good crop, since you need to freeze some as well for winter. Seeds are available at Bunnings. All the best, Bob.
