Effective Mosquito Repellant made in Australia or NZ

I have heard about a mosquito repellant that is made down-under that is a "miracle" mosquito repellant. What is the name of the product, is it really a miracle protector is applied regularly (how often), where can I get it being in the US and what is the cost for a month or more supply while we are in remote sections of Asia including Borneo and Sumatra? How long does it take to receive it without paying preium air service shipping fees?
Your experience with it's effectiveness?.

Yes, but too many come up. I remember reading from travelers to Africa on this Forum about one particular product but did not make note of it.

Could it be RID you're thinking of? Very effective against tsetses, so I am sure it works on mozzies too. It is an Australian product.
