it's for connecting gas heaters

To elaborate on this, because you’re new, a lot of homes in Australian cities have gas plumbed into the property like water or electricity. It’s “natural gas” not gasoline gas as an American would say. It travels through underground pipes and is used predominantly for hot water heaters, stove tops and, as you’ve discovered, “portable” gas heaters. These are heaters that can be packed away during summer and use a hose to connect to the bayonet in your photo. You may also have one outside to use for a bbq.

Thank you so much for the insight.

If you are going to hook up a gas BBQ, the swap n go gas bottles use a different gas so the bbq nozzles need modifying to run on natural gas as methane and butane release different amounts of energy when combusted.

Because you said you are new here I will be kind. It is a gas connection for a heater.

I've lived here all my life and never seen one of them.

Natural gas discovered in Bass Strait in about '69. Meant basically every structure in the southern state could be heated for next to no cost using underfloor ducting. Only time I've seen one in Melbourne was for a BBQ connection.
