Ordered USB Type-C to 5.5x2.1mm adapter

I have posted about possibly buying a rpi4:

I own a 5V at 6A power supply with a 5.5x2.1mm male plug. Also, a short 5.5x2.1mm female barrel socket to micro-USB male plug, that I used to power my rpi3.

Problem is, the rpi4 has USB type-C power input. Hunted online, could not find an adapter in Australia. Started with the local stores, Jaycar and Altronics, no joy, then searched online.

Eventually ordered from China:
