Can anyone point me in the direction of a source of plastic rod in a streamlined cross section to make struts for biplanes.

You used to be able to get Contrail Rod, Tube, and Struts. I think the only place that had them in Australia back in the day was Keith Hudson's.

This Thread from 2012 says they were still available from Aeroclub in 2012 :

You can only try I suppose.

And here is an even later enquiry in 2016 on AMI that had success by the looks of it :

Aeroclub don't really exist anymore, John Adams basically closed it down when the his business partner died, you could try sending him a PM on Britmodeller, user name JohnAero
He only sells what he might still have though.
I still have some left if you can tell me a size I might be able to help
