Help with power supply one for the sparkies

I bought my c8 from the US, so it came with US style plug, two flanges parallel. I have two questions which the sparkies out there may be able to help.
1. The power cord to the transformer has a label on it which reads "10a, 125v". Will I have any problems if I plug it into a 240v power outlet? The transformer says 100-240v, 50/60Hz, 800mA. My guess is not, but never hurts to ask.
2. One of the two flanges has a flared end, which makes it slightly wider/taller than the other flange (still the same thickness and length). Is this the active side? Can I bend the flanges to suit the v configuration of Aust power outlets or should I get an adapter? If adapter, does it matter if the flared flange goes in one way or the other?
Thanks !
