Hi,
I really like the one from Stellarvue, which you can purchase from several outlets in the USA. OPTCORP sell them and ship to Australia.

They have several different dot patterns and 8 brightness levels. It is very well made and solid. I much prefer these to the standard red dot finders sold by most dealers in Australia, which look like this.

I have a Stellarvue red Dot finder on my 14" SDM and it is excellent. I have a TELRAD on my 18" Obsession and to be honest I prefer the little Stellarvue red dot finder in combination with the Stellarvue 8 x 50 Straight through optical finder.
Cheers,
