The other name is glutinous white rice flour.
I can't find it in Hamilton either.
I have tried Bin Inn, Moshims' and the organic shop in Frankton.

I have just been using white rice flour.

I HAVE discovered that coconut flour is fantastic in a lot of recipes.
I have not tried the two shops by the Te Aroha Street roundabout though.

I am also looking for potato flour which is different to potato starch flour.

Glutinous rice flour wouldn't be gluten free. Potato flour is available through Moore Wilson. You might have to get it online. Try Chantal Wholefoods, they are in Napier but have an online store.

Aah, I stand corrected, despite it's name it is gluten free.

Gluten Free On Durham ( Rangiora) has it. You can probably order through them.
