there was a product review from a guy in New Zealand, and while I know
that's not Aus, I would think if they don't have a distributer, they would
certainly be willing to ship it to you.
No doubt if they are distributed in Aus, it'll be 3 times the quoted price
on the website, which is $100USD for the basic antenna system.
