I bought mine from chefscatalog.com They don't ship outside the US.

My mill is the 11" Brass one with straight bottom, it is clearly
marked:

"ATLAS"
"PEPPER MILL IMPORTS"
"MADE IN GREECE"

Perhaps this info will help you locate a source in Australia or one
that will ship to Australia... googling found other sources.

There's really no need to "check anything out", this product is simply
far and away the best... does exactly what it's supposed to do and does
it very well. If you're worried it is too tall and will be knocked off
your table, relax... I place mine lying down, the big crank handle will
prevent rolling. Out of curiosity I just now placed mine on my kitchen
scale, it weighs a full two pounds and it's built like a tank... it
will easily last a couple three lifetimes.
