It;s the top link on their homepage.
From the same site as Dave posted earlier. Sorry, but I could not copy the images, if any one else can work out how to do and save them to the forum would be really great.
I looked at a few BDs on here, one NZ and the others Australian, and the interiors of those made in Australia -they all have the more typical made in Aus labels- matches my example, whilst the NZ made example does not.

Whatever its just an opinion.
I have a New Zealand Battledress badged to a British officer, if you want me to photograph markings for reference.
NZ BDs, like Canadian ones, have ink-stamped markings, usually featuring a big N /|\ Z in an oval

Hi Rob, if you can post pics of your NZ BD that would be appreciated - it might be good to have a pinned BD thread for ref purposes. I have seen the NZ stamp and I don't think that is what is on mine. I am convinced that mine is Australian made, features of the lining positioning and the unlined collar and the buttons are enough for me when compared to those made by other nations, though I have not looked at any Rhodesian BDs yet!
I noticed the shoulder board buttons are a different version to mine, large and rubber but of a slightly different form.

Here's mine:
This is for sale at this time on ebay, not mine but interesting to see it, IMO.

Another Aussie made BD, 1941 dated and with two labels, similar to mine. It's for sale at this time, but sadly beyond my budget.

Another Aussie made BD for sale, this one with a partly removed large paper? label below the more usual cloth example.
