It's from the Betty Crocker Chocolate Cookbook.

Heat oven to 350F. Heat margarine and chocolate ships in 3 quart saucepan stirring constantly, until melted. Beat in remaining ingredients until smooth; stir in nuts. Spread in greased rectangular pan 13"x9"x2". Bake until center is set, about 30 minutes; cool completely. Cut into bars. 36 brownies.

Since the requester is from Australia, I doubt they will have the exact cookware recommended. Just use a large enough pot so you can stir with some force and not have the batter go flying, and approximate the pan size. They're quite forgiving, and most people like them a bit underdone (more gooey that way).
