Two good black IBs that come to mind is Darkness and Helen Proctor.
Darkness is rather new so may not be available to Aussies yet but Helen
Proctor is an older variety that is a favorite in the US and can
probably be found in your country. Both are wonderful growers, and both
are "must haves" for black lovers. Darkness is darker than HP and has a
yellow beard. Helen Proctor has a dark purple-blue beard.
