Hi Richard,
I sent some thoughts to your email. Basically, it's a Javatc output with 
some thoughts in there (can kind  of clog up the TCML if I paste it here). 
I basically am looking at a coil around the parameters you gave here, and 
set the primary cap to a static gap LTR size (assuming Australia is 50Hz?) 
because to the RQ gap you are looking at.

Take care,
Bart
