Dawson makes a fibre optic rear to fit the LPA dovetail but they don't say the notch width and I don't know if they ship to Oz.

You got Amazon in the Antipodes?
EGW makes a red dot adapter to fit the rear sight cut. It will be taller than a milled in installation but a whole lot less expensive.

Look at Customer Pictures in Reviews.

EGW says they may not ship sights abroad, but I do not know if that is taken to include sight bases. You could ask.

The first place that comes up on Google for red dot sights in Queensland is The Barn. They catalogue various red dot sights, surely they have or can get appropriate bases.

Note that you have to have your mind made up as to WHICH red dot because everybody has his own mount dimensions.

Or would you consider a rail down the top of the gun with a tube type dot sight? That is a common layout for bullseye target shooters but it does not exactly get you a low line of sight.
