You can get it on Amazon delivered to Australia, that is how I got my Chromebook Pro. You are looking at $1300AUD+ though.
Here's a link without using the OP's affiliate link, very dirty: - https://www.amazon.com/Google-Pixelbook-RAM-128GB-GA00122-US/dp/B075JSK7TR

Hello, I am not a Chromebook user but I am very interested in them.
You can definitely go for any Chromebook around $500, they typically have 4gb ram, 32/64gb storage, and intel core m3 processor. If you are willing to pay few hundreds more, there's a discount on Amazon for Google Pixelbook, with i5 processor, 8gb ram and 128gb storage for $846. There's also one good thing about this device, you can install linux applications on it.
If you are not interested in paying that money for Google Pixelbook, you can go with ASUS C302CA-DHM4.
Enjoy it!!

The keyboard deactivates when it is open to 180 degrees (completely flat). In other words, half way between being closed and being a tablet.
Yes, it's weird using with the exposed keyboard, but I guess you can get used to it. I don't use it as a tablet too often. I was actually going to start looking around to see if anyone makes a keyboard cover for it when in tablet mode, similar to a case for a phone.
Hey, here's an idea - a sleeve to protect the whole thing when not in use with a "case" on one side to snap the tablet into. Anyone good at marketing and want to partner? LOL
EDIT: I just found it on Amazon for $819 and free shipping.
I'd guess soon.
813 on amazon atm if your impatient:
Yes. You can go to this link: https://www.amazon.com/Google-Pixelbook-RAM-128GB-GA00122-US/dp/B075JSK7TR and purchase a machine yourself rather than use a piece of education equipment that does not belong to you.
