1. I suggest making your own.

There are a zillion recipes on the net.

2. yeah, make your own or perhaps ask a local artisan bakery (if one exists)

to sell you a bit of their dough, and make it from that.

Remember: a starter is like a pet. It needs fed and watered and some TLC. No walks though.

3. Ask at the supermarket for GoldRush sourdough starter.

It's a dry pack of sourdough culture. You can make it on your own too, but it takes a little more work.

Once you make up the sourdough starter you can perpetuate it by saving a gold-ball sized piece of dough in a jar in the fridge and feeding it every week, just as if you started it on your own.

I'll ask at the bakery next time I go past it
or just order it.
