Do you know who sells them in Australia?

When you go near the zenith in polar does it bump into he bottom of the forks?

Bump into the forks?.... not sure on the 8" LX90..... sorry

I do on mine, but only when you're slewing around all night to a million different places it'll be a problem. If you aim to slew somewhere and stay in that vicinity for a while (photography for instance) then all I do is simply remove the diagonal, slew past the fork base and then re-insert the diagonal for the next long while. No problem really. Some might consider it so though.
