Most Barnes and Nobles stores stock it; Borders will order it, but does not stock it. Amazon also has it.
I think you'll find it as close to the middle as one can get!

Shane-o, you are a master at pot-stirring. I'll bet you used to lob beehives around just for fun when you were a kid, didn't you?
Guys, remember that shane-o is very bright and also extremely mischievous. And he wouldn't have gotten such a hot response if there weren't at least a grain of truth in what he said. Or, at the very least, if we Yanks weren't
afraid that there was a grain of truth. (Phew, covered my

there.)
Shane-o, for penance I think you should have to ride the bike you admire so much, a Harley--Electra Glide, I'd say--from Sydney to Perth, in full leathers, with skull tattoos and a huge patch that says "Helmet Laws and Metrics SUCK" on your back. Be sure you go past your place of employment in both directions.

Does Australia even manufacture any bikes?

of course we do
the challenge for you is, tell me what it they are called and who designed them
thats right just the one manufacturer that I know of, but they are killer bikes very expensive.

Sounds like they took a page from the US book, mate. Except that we now have 2, with Victory in the mix.
And perusing the list Blues provided: what in the hell is that Monsta Trike? Looks like a Harley trike mated with a dune buggy . . .
