Ha ha, yes totally true. I'd also check the voltage Tammi. I have a couple of converters in case I come across a 120V one.
Since they're just wires, you can also source a round pin set and swap it although it's probably cheaper to just source a plug in the UK and have it posted over. Forget Australia (postage is prohibitively expensive) but Royal mail is pretty reasonable.
