They are available in Australia but I have never seen one. Tesoro is not a well-known brand here.

Here is some info from the Australian web site.

Please contact us for availability and delivery prior to placing your order.
The tesoro Compadre was deisgned with the idea that less is more. This modest machine can do a lot of the same things that it's bigger brother can do. it works great for coin hunting, competition hunting and reelic hunting, but it does it without any excess knobs. switch on the detector and you're working in a silent search, motion all metal mode. The farther you turn the knob, the more discrimination you can bring to bear on those trashy sites.

The Compadre has it all. One knob simplicity for the beginner and high gain circuitry and the famous Tesoro ED-180 discrimination for the advanced user. If one detector can do all of this, maybe less is more.
