Could that be the reason that there is no OverDrive option under settings? Should I D/L the FW from an affiliate in a country where OverDrive is supported and install that?
Kobo ereaders are exactly the same worldwide and use exactly the same firmware everywhere, though the exact firmware version might be different for a while. That site doesn't store the firmware, it just detects the currently available version and give you the link to them on Kobo's servers.

What is more important is the address you have in your Kobo account. If you have an address in Australia, or one of the other supported countries, you should have the Overdrive option in the settings. If it isn't there, I would try editing the config file, find the "OverDrive" section and delete that section. Then restart the device. That is just in case the section has been corrupted somehow and messing things up.
