Well Europe uses quarter frequencies' (for example FM 97.25 can be found in Europe, but in the US it would be either FM 97.1 or FM 97.3) so as long as Australia doesn't use quarter frequencies, I wouldn't see any reason that a radio made for US use wouldn't work fine down under.

BTW: where is Coffs Harbor?

There are switchable units available that can use the European frequencies or the American Frequencies.
