Givi have top boxes and side cases (panniers) made in Italy and Malaysia, the latter ones can be found in Thailand for pretty good pricing. Not sure if any of the Malaysia mnfg Givi's are sold in OZ. But hey, next trip to Malaysia might be worth getting one...

Can you find SHAD over there in OZ? SHAD45 or similar would fit nicely me thinks. Over here I have found and bought ADLO branded boxes for years... and have more than half a dozen ADLO boxes with base plates either on bikes in the stable or sitting on shelves, because the boxes are fairly good quality and not expensive. ADLO are a local company based in southern Ch!na. ADLO top boxes are exported to the USA where a local importer has them re-branded from the ADLO factory as BESTEM www.bestemusa.com

Not sure you could pick up an ADLO or Bestem box with plate in OZ? I'd ship you one over but the freight from here to there is a little on the high side.
