I invested in some vintage Griswold and Wagner cast iron skillets. Australia doesn't have the same wonderful heritage as the U.S. where cast iron is concerned, so I got them shipped all the way from the U.S. via Ebay.
It was expensive, but as I said before, it was an investment. I expect to be cooking with them for a very long, long time and pass them on to Bek one day. Besides, it was still less than a brand new Le Creuset skillet from a local department store, and many will say superior quality, so I still feel like I got a great deal. Plus, I am never going to have to send another useless two year old teflon coated non stick frypan to landfill ever again. I am really excited about that!!
I researched it up and down all over the place. Here is a good discussion:

I cherish the two skillets I have and love cooking with them. Maybe one day I will buy myself some more
