I'm surprised the answer hasn't already occurred to you....

You just go to the power outlet the Australian CoCo is to be plugged into,
unscrew the face plate and the screws that hold the sockets in place, then
turn the sockets upside down and reassemble the thing.  The hole for the
ground connection on each socket will now be at the top instead of the
bottom, so you know the polarity is now changed to upside down.

Don't be embarrassed, the list is always ready to provide help for those in
need due to lack of technical training.
