According to the "foreign private issuer" paragraph, "more than 50% of our assets cannot be located in the United States", and ditto for the board members.

They are primarily based in Sydney, they might be the biggest importers of developers in Australia actually ;) but the SF office is large too, they hold a few usergroups in it, as well as the Atlassian Summit which just ended (3-5 Nov). https://summit.atlassian.com . No wonder you believed they were SF based.

It is no uncommon for Australians to start their world working tour in London/UK either.
