Hi mate, welcome to Australia! Mk2's are not all that common here, we never got any 3dr models, never got the 16V, or the G60 or Rallye, we only got the 8V in 5dr, which was Japanese spec and underpowered. All the 3dr ones and 16Vers you see are imports and conversions. There are a couple for sale on here, but not in Perth i don't think. Keep your eyes on carsales.com.au and gumtree if you're after one.
I'll say it before someone else does - you should of brought one over with you!!

Matt.

The MK2 Jetta was never sold in Australia,niether was the MK1 Jetta,although a few have been imported into the country over the years.

I'm new here today as well. Is that a Kilkenny registration on your Jetta?
