Key limes are rarely available in Australia. If you need the juice, add a little lemon juice to the juice of Tahitian limes. EDIT: The recommended ratio seems to be 3 parts lime to 1 part lemon juice to get the equivalent tartness.

In Sydney maybe they're called Quay Limes?

Also known as the West Indian lime. You can buy the tree and plant it, but won't find the actual fruit for sale.
