What city in Australia are you closest to?

Check the "Alternative Cages" section of the photo galleries for other ideas. People have used things like linoleum tiles, plexiglass, etc. You'll want to pick something that will last for awhile though, otherwise I would say just use a shower curtain, but they are a pain to clean and such.

The only two places I know of in Queensland that sell corflute are Reverse Garbage and BSS Plastics. I have no idea whether they're still in business or not.

Fleece bedding is good, be sure to have an absorbent layer under the fleece too. Puppy pads with fleece on top would work, but I'd use something more reusable. Cotton towels, or "uhaul blankets"(shredded compressed denim moving blankets that cover furniture etc, not the quilted ones). Not sure if you'd have the exact blankets there, but probably something similar.

You can always order grids online, depending on shipping costs that might be too expensive. Also sheets of linoleum would work for the cage too.

With four pigs make sure they are all same sexed, and that your cage meets the minimum requirements. Also prepare for having to house them seperatly. They might not get along, and you may have to have more then one cage.

Reverse Garbage in Woolloongabba isn't a reliable source of corflute. They often don't have it in stock, and it's very popular, so what they do get in goes quickly. BFS Plastics in Salisbury is awesome for corflute, their website is (broken link removed)

Another solution for bedding would be Hysorb wood shavings, they're safe for pigs, and you can usually purchase Hysorb at your local produce store.
