Does anyone know where to buy those hard resin eyes to stick onto jig heads. I've been using those hollow plastic eyes from the craft shops but they are not very robust - look good but are soon knackered.

Mate, the flyfishing places do a lot of different types of eyes in various sizes.
They make stick on, resin type, holographic and about a dozen other types used in flytying - might pay to have a look online or go to a specialist flyshop somewhere in Auckland.
 
Hope this helps.
