Being from Toorak the "little stick" had probably never been used in it's life ! Even when in regular use they can "stick" at times.
If you can't move the stick freely while stationary, try moving it into the "neutral" or centre position with the car just ever so slightly moving forward, ( less than walking pace ) than ease it into the diff lock high or low position. Then back into unlocked high and low. Do that a few times for a few weeks and it might free up.
Don't drive it in "diff lock" on the tarseal for very far though.

When I bought mine, the diff lock had never been used and was stuck fast.
I had to take the console out, remove the linkage from the gear box and coax the sliding rod with a hammer and WD40.
It took a while but it eventually freed up. I still have to whack the gear to the left and right to get it to work, though
Mine was a Gold Coast cruiser that had not been off the road.
A firm hand is required when changing into low range.
The CDL can be engaged at any speed,, a very handy thing!
You should check when unlocking the CDL that the dash light goes out,, sometimes mine required a small distance in reverse to release/unlock.
If that nice PIC is your driveway,, I'd use the CDL at least weekly.
