Gunsmiths in the Sydney area?

I know about Anthony Schmidt from The Accuracy Den and Jeff Borg from JB Custom Rifle, but I recall there being a few other gunsmiths in the Sydney area.

What is it, exactly that you want done. Some gunsmiths are better than others.

T Bone Shipwrighting @ Moorebank 2170 - he does a lot of milsurp work but works on just about anything - he also stocks Lothar Walther barrels - plus he's an all round nice guy. Nothing is a drama and he's honest.

+1 for T bone. But there’s also Matt Paroz from LRP solutions - his background is F-class and PRS style smithing.
At what point does lack of maintenance become patina?

I'm looking to find where they are first, but someone who can work on handguns would be preferred.

I did know of one or two BUT a mate put me on to a fellow who is at Tenambit up near Maitland. I live on the north side of Sydney and it takes me an hour to drive up. For me it has been worth it as his work, especially on handguns is very good. Apparently, the club my mate belongs to are regulars there also. You may eventually locate someone closer to home, but at least give the guy a call.
His name is Ralf Dauner 0434 615 417. He is a German trained gunsmith.
