hi ive been looking everywere to buy isopropyl alcohol...
ive gone to about 6 chemists and all sold out or its a 100ml bottle...

were to buy it in australia.. and if not that a product that will do the same for my airbrush for cleaning.

I'd either wait for them to not be sold out or get the 100ml bottle. Alternatively if you can Tamiya paints their X-20 Thinner is alcohol based and works as a cleaner, or at least does for me when I'm using Tamiya paints thinned with it.

I had this recommended to me for use with weathering powders and so forth. I haven't tried using it to clean an airbrush though. It's 64% isopropyl, You can get it from most chemists/pharmacies - at least in my area.

Supermarkets sell it in the first aid sections.

Dick Smiths used to sell a little bottle of 99% isopropyl marketed as a CD / Electronics cleaner. Gotten harder to get hold of though thanks to stupid lowest common denominator ruining it for everyone.

This is a place you probably want to know about anyway. Heaps of modelling clays etc all for good prices.

Second on the supermarkets.

Bunnings sells it, you can even get it in a small pump spray bottle, it is in the same department as the turps and thinners, by the sided of the paint department..

Isocol is a low concentration isopropyl alcohol, with some other additives, but if you need s higher strength, bunnings stocks it..

Took me ages to find a good place to get it in the UK as well. Ended up finding it being sold by the litre in an electronics shop.
