Yes windows running on the same machine, and location/using the same
internet connection.

Not everything seems to be handled by google. If I go to www.google.com
google will redirect me to www.google.com.au which is fine but the if I
use the searchbox I'm sent to www.google.com search results. This is not
just something happening to me there are many post scattered across the
internet relating to this issue, its also seems UK users are also sent
to the US site. See: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1354830
and http://ubuntugenius.wordpress.com/2010/08/18/add-google-australia-
or-your-specific-country-to-the-firefox-search-bar/

This could possibly be due to ubuntu customisations I'm not sure, the
search url looks like this:
http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=test&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
