Apple sells a travel kit with a group of adapters made specifically for it's power brick. You could also look at that.

Here's the US version, not sure if there's an Australian version

It has not been in the pursuit of pleasure that I have periled life and reputation and reason. It has been the desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness and a dread of some strange impending doom ….”― Edgar Allan Poe
