G'day, Mark
The Border Cookbook it explains:

Mexican Oregano is a different variety than Mediterranean and greek
oreganos and has a milder sweeter flavor.  Most Mexican markets and food
sections carry it, but I suppose in Southern Oz it might be hard to find.  

You might do a web search for it and see if you can have it shipped to you.  

You can use regular meditarranean oregano in substitution for mexican but
you should use about a 1/3 less.  Substituting marjoram can work as well.
