I read that the 580EX2 can be powered from the mains power? Is this correct and if so does one need to purchase separate power cables - ie it does not come with them supplied?

Don't think Canon AU have anything.
Maybe look at the quantum powerpacks :)

When used with a CP-E4 battery pack the 580exII needs a 10 minute cool down period after 15-20 flashes by the instructions due to it reducing the recycle time to a 3rd of it's standard one.

I can't imagine how quickly you'd hit the critical heat cycle powering it via 240v converter.
