Thanks david.I didn't think it would be available at regular NZ supermarkets - I'll check and see if it's at my local countdown.If not, then I'll check out New World.

Is 00 flour also called strong flour !

That term, when seen in recipes, often indicates high grade flour - for bread making.
00 Grade flour, by comparison, is fairly essential for making good pasta.
At least that's my understanding, but maybe I'm incorrect!

00 grade flour is very finely milled and is used for pasta and Italian bread doughs.Its gluten content is much the same as NZ High grade flour, which can be used instead, although the texture of the dough will not be quite as silky.

Thanks for all the suggestions - I will check out some of these options.StillI'm not sure if I'm prepared to pay $6 - $7.00 per kg of flour.
I've had pasta made with high grade flour and, for my preferences, it just doesn't produce a desirable effect, especially considering the added effort that the cook has to go to.So I'll probably stick with dried pasta, unless making ravioli or similar varieties.
