Thanks Kyle,
Found them but they don't list the very small diameter aluminium used for hike tents.

Try Remote Repairs.

Are you sure that the poles are aluminium? The only Dargo tent from Aussie Disposals I could find mention of had fibreglass poles and cost $99.95. At that rate it could be cheaper to buy a new tent, albeit not ideal from a sustainability perspective.

In any case, as far as I'm aware, you can replace an aluminium pole with a fibreglass one.

I has a bit of Aluminium tube on a camp chair fail years ago - replaced it with a bit of copper water pipe.
Unaware of what diameter you're after but might be worth a thought.

You can also get short bits of aluminium tubing to sleeve over the broken bits.

It's the 30degree bends that are a problem, the straight sections socket into them.
Fully aware of the joiners & alternative straight poles.

Finding some small dia copper and bending it might be an option but I recon it will be too soft.
