Yummy!
What you've got there, is a BiLock cylinder, most likely a "New Generation"!
Now, there ARE both USA and AUS factories...but judging by your name, I'll just go ahead and say that you've got yourself an AUS keyway.
Where did you get it?

I'm gonna unlock this, 'cause it's really not discussing bypass at this point. However, I will mention that discussion of bypass of high security locks is reserved for the advanced forum. No harm in just mentioning the lock tho.

I concur. It's a New Generation BiLock. You can tell from the curved edges of the keyway (at the top of the photo). The main difference with standard BiLock is that there is a blocking mechanism activated by a pivoting member on the key. This makes it very hard to duplicate the key since you can't really mimic the pivoting part of the blade. The rest of the lock has 2 rows of 6 pins that have to line up with sidebars, one on each side of the keyway. Don't bother trying to pick it - it's already very difficult even without the blocking mechanism.
Check out this link - though I couldn't find the New Generation stuff

They're all either New Generation, or D9. As far as I can tell, at least in the USA, they no longer produce the First Generation units.

'Spose I should take this thread off the thread collection then, eh? 
Some things may be pick proof, but everything can be bypassed....

It's a NG. The lock pictured is no different from an OG, though the face plate is not fixed and is more prone to breaking and the key is different.

Addendum: If you actually KNOW a bypass for these, please DO let us know in advanced  I would be just fascinated.

That lock almost looks like a switch lock.
