It wouldn’t surprise me if that’s NOT made down here. I’ve never seen or heard of one. Just spent an hour searching. I’ve been to every engineering and machine tool show here in the last 25 years. Never heard of it. None of my catalogues from all the usual machine tool accessary companies have ever showed one.
A search of ASIC (Australian Securities & Investments Commission),
http://www.search.asic.gov.au/gns001.html doesn’t find a company or trading name of Aussie Power Drawbar.
Neither does an online search of the White or Yellow telephone directories, nation wide.
Google search, set to show sites from Australia only, of “Aussie Power Drawbar” or the part number “ADB-123” gets no hits.
Numerous sites on your side of the pacific, but none down-under.

Contained in that last ipstool link. It shows an Australian made logo. The kangaroo in a green triangle. That one is bogus. The real one looks like this.
http://www.australianmade.com.au/ That logo is trade marked and requires registration & licensing to use it. A search of the Australian made site doesn’t find it either.

From the above link. I turned up an address, based in Cali. An Incorporated (Inc.) company. Ours are Pty.Ltd. (Proprietary Limited) or Ltd. (Limited by shares). Which means nothing. If that was an associated to an Australian company with a division in the States, they would have to register it under your company laws. Ie. Inc. Point being: I cant find a parent company here.

I read in one of those links, that there have been 12,000 units made. If that was the case, they would be as well know as ANCA or Cherry Ripes down here.
