Hi,
I'm also looking for a book/magazine/website/etc. that is Australia-specific. Something like John Parnell's book but for Australia. Any ideas?
Thank you,
bmc

Full stop the best resource you will find to date anywhere is The Mini Experience magazines.
Particular editions have dealt with specific models of Australian Cooper/Australian Cooper S Mk1 & Mk2/LS/1275LS/SS/Sports 850 etc etc.

I don't believe you will be able to better the resources found in that magazine for Australian specific models.

Back editions can be had from watto.
See this forum for more information,

That is certainly the go.

If you have an Australian BMC workshop manual and parts list (You can get a CD full of manuals, partslists etcetera from Wombat on here) as well as a copy of parnell and a reference like The Mini Experience you can solve just about any problem.
