Australian sources

I sourced the > MDF7-26D-2.54SA(55) which is the
2x13 0.1" bottom entry board-to-board connector x1 For about $3 or $5 Australian. There are two versions ( cheaper is a generic I suppose)

Ask for Allan Wood
Delivery was less than a week and you will need to fill out a purchase order
Freight $16.50 or $20 for wa tas or nt
I ordered five for the boards I got from OSHpark.
Please note the board image on picrust site is of a prior version. There are now two 3V connectors next to the UART group, not one. Hence the need for a 1x2 female header

I also got all the headers from AMPEC. As a beginner Boards take about 20 mins to solder up and fit nice and snug on the pi I. Headers do cover pcb print somewhat but ehhh... RTC,s work, 16x2 LCD's on gpio are great
Hope this helps and
Don't hurt yourself

Anthony the MDF7-26D-2.54SA(55) is tin plated and the MDF7-26D-2.54SA(56) is gold-plated.
