[Coco] The CoCo outside of the U.S.

[L. Curtis Boyle]

I don't remember for sure, but
I believe that Australia (and other countered) were all ran by Intertan. Coco 1's were definitely sold in Canada (I bought a 4k RAM D-board model new in 1981). Canadian models were sold with both English and French manuals.
