I found the Australian importer via Google. The upshot is that they did not have the one required for Brass in stock, and the estimated cost to get it from the US was more than the Hornaday annealing kit that Sinclair offers which includes the Tempilac.

the stuff we use for pre heating welds is actually like a crayon with a aluminium casing to protect it.

you can get it in various temps just like the tempilaq but you dont have to paint it on it just writes like a crayon. i dont know how much they are worth each but doubt they woud be as much as tempilaq.
