Myer used to stock good linen ones and may still do so, but try Hotel Agencies in Fitzroy. Most homewares shops have pretty coloured crap. I really like the ones the professionals use. More costly, but as mentioned before - functionally immortal. I have a stock of about 20 and that's a good number to have on hand, being two weeks worth of usage plus some spares. I do chuck them in the wash before they get too soggy though so a single day of intense cooking can use a few. Also check the shop rag market - this is where the linen from failed restaurants often ends up. You purchase by the kilo - some will be stained or require a bit of mending but this can often be fixed with a napisan soak and a bit of hand sewing. For the price, definitely worth it if you are looking for good quality kitchen linens at a bargain basement price or lower.
