The picture above of an Australian compliance plate dated 9/84 clearly shows that there was at least one ready to be sold by September 84. And while it is probable that imported V8s were sold first, as the Isuzu engined ones would have required at least some design work, I doubt these were far behind - after all, they were already fitting them to the Series 3, and were almost certainly their best seller.
The 2.25 coil sprung Landrover was definitely never sold in Australia, and while one or two may have come as personal imports, I have never seen one.
