Yes, you can see Orion and Betelgeuse in almost all of Australia.

Betelgeuse is so close to the equator (7 degrees North) that it is visible from all over the world except most of Antarctica. In the regions above the polar circle in summer, it is daylight 24/7 inhibiting seeing the star with the naked eye.
But Australia lies between 12 and 43 S (Tasmania included) which allows viewing the star everywhere, so what 'almost' means I don't know.
