Hi, I was looking at an offer to promote to the australian market, but when I went to godaddy they dont have .au, is there a reason for this, or would.com,net,org suffice anyway, Regards, Mick.

You have to have a registered Australian business to get a new .com.au i.e. Get an ABN

Try an Australian registrar like crazy domains dot com dot au

.com will suffice, you can use webmaster tools to target Australia specifically.
But com.au is bit better for branding and SEO purposes if you want to target the Australian market .
