Maybe try army surplus ones? They might be stronger. I prefer the ease of folding up the shovel & sticking it in the boot, that why I went to the trouble of reinforcing my folding one.
Also handier than a small folding shovel when ur being chased by a rouge Tiger snake at Cape Le Grand National Park.
What.. tiger snakes in Cape Le Grand NP.. you never mentioned this before

Some nice dugites around Perth & on Rottnest & the Sth West.
Please dont go killing snakes though. They have their place in nature, they're protected so its illegal & the biggest cause of snakebite is trying to kill them
Interesting note: The biggest Tiger snakes in Oz are found on King I. They're almost completely black & almost all the old ones have had one or both eyes stabbed by Mutton bird when protecting their chicks (their main diet on this Island). There has been lots of footage of completely blind tiger snakes successfully hunting purely by smell!
