Having regional websites with duplicate content is fine with Google. You will not get penalized by Google if you do it right. You may want to change the content slightly for different word spellings, different prices, and different currencies.

To do so properly:


Use a similar URL structure in two different folders, sub-domains, or domains.
Add both sites (separately) to Google Webmaster Tools. Go to "Configuration" -> "Settings" and set the geographic targeting correctly for each. If you use a co.uk domain and a com.au domain, this will have been done for you automatically.
Use rel alternate links with hreflang attributes between the pages on the two sites.


See this wiki answer for more information on how to structure your urls for regional sites.
