Aussie wall plug for Airport Express, where to get one?
I just got an Airport express unfortunately it came with a US wall plug. I've searched the net and the Aussie apple store but I cannot locate on. I guess that the correct plug just clips in and that the Express has auto switching for the voltage? Yes, No?

It's got your standard figure eight socket if you remove the plug. EVERYONE's got a drawer full of those. |

You can buy the world travel adapter kit, I'm pretty sure it includes australia???
Or if worse comes to worse buy something like a iPod/iPhone charger and use its plug.

Doh! Thanks,
I got confused about the removable plug. What's that for then? I mean couldn't it use the same figure 8 plug in the US? |
