Here in NZ, you can get a 5 pack of those resistors for NZ$ 2.45 with free shipping from RS. Do you not have the same supplier in OZ?
Also, when you install the resistor, make sure you seal it in with high temp silicone or similar to get a good thermal bond with the heater block- that's what allows the resistor to heat beyond its rating.
