Maybe you can work out some kind of trade with Garmin to get the correct one.
This one can be order direct from Garmin Australia.
The only other way is to break the protection to use what you have already with the maps you own.
But that means killing the warranty on the unit.
Plus you did not say what GPS you got from Garmin..........
Was it a new ZUMO 550????
There is also the Garmin zumo XT for Australia too.

So I do not understand that you could not get the ZUMO where you live.......

Using Maps on replacement ZUMO 550
Hi all,
Very new to the group; I'm looking for some help as I have had to replace my old ZUMO 550 Garmin. and the only place I coupld find to buy one was in Europe.
This one has arrived in Australia, but has the Europe maps installed.
My current unit was bought with Aus maps, so in Basecamp It shows I have an unlocked Aus/NZ map/
I have sent this map to an SD card to use in the new unit, but it must be locked to the old GPS.
Is there any way I can unlock the map to use on the new GPS? Europe maps are not much use to me here in Queensland Australia!
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hi Asprin624, Thanks for getting back to me with those links.
I was told that they have discontinued the ZUMO 550; one of the motorcycle mounts I use had leaked a while ago, and I could not find a replacement mount here in Aus, none of the dealers listed on the link from the site you sent through were interested in helping me.
I have used a ZUMO for many years, have mounts on two motorcycles as well as a couple of car mounts; it have navigated me through Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and North America. That's why I would prefer to stick with the ZUMO for as long as I can.
