Ken, Doug Ken is correct. Your amplifier comes with a US colour coded cable and, for your 230V supply, black is active, white is neutral and green is earth.
I had some additional searching to find an Australian heavy duty plug that would fit the supplied mains cable and a standard 240V outlet, but was in the end successful.
