I don't know about Australia but for France you can say "was widely available". Actually the number of gas station delivering it have been reduced by about 2/3rd. This is becoming increasingly rare and, nowadays, mostly used by campers on their vans. A few years ago, several car could use it but today these are mostly industrial vehicle.
Another problem with that thing is to fill up the tank. You might well find a full reserve of this thing and not being able to use it if you don't have the stuff to allow for the transfer (it has to remain liquid). A year ago I was behind a guy fillling his tank on his camping van, it took him seven minutes to fill in the tank. Another bad point if you are in a hury.
One last point, older models using this had a bad tendancy to burst in flame (nice and fancy but not very practical) as the tank could backfire. They have fixed that problem of course but on a model which is in not so good a shape because of general neglect, that might be a risk again. A good way to change your players in nice fireworks
