No but they are native there.You could probably get them in Europe etc but as you already know you can't keep them here legally.

FYI, if you google eastern shovel nosed snake and click images, there's a pic of you Torah lol.

Should probably start on keeping a little bit different to a python before jumping in the fire.
GTS or BTS.

The snake in the pic is a Mohave Shovel-nosed Snake (Chionactis occipitalis occipitalis) ( or some thing similar ) it's not from here , you can not keep it ...
The one you can keep here are completely different, have a look here AROD > Reptiles / Squamata / Elapidae / Brachyurophis | ReptilesDownUnder.com

Besides, it wouldn't be the easiest species to keep. The Aussie one I mean.
