At this point, no the Ubuntu product range has not yet hit Aussie 
shores. However there are some Acers in The Good Guys stores that have 
Ubuntu pre-installed.

However, I would be strongly surprised if there is no sign of Aussie 
Dellbuntu's by the end of the first quarter. Making contact with Dell 
and expressing your interest will not do any harm :)

It just depends how much of a rush you're in.
