Hop Yeast

My mother cooked her bread in a wood fired oven, using yeast made from hops, which she kept on the hob of the stove. I have her recipe, but am having trouble finding hops. If there is any Australian bakers seeing this can you tell me where I could get hops. Thank you.

Thank you Bill_C and Half-Baked. I'll try a brew shop for hops (I didn't know there were different varieties).
