A mini purchased from Australia that will be used in Europe what issue might be needed to take care of?

Will work unchanged, though (stating the obvious) you'll need to get a new mains power cable (or adapter) for the UK - these are available very easily - Amazon is your best bet from a cost perspective.

By adapter u mean the Apple duckhead adapter?
Can a mini owner confirm if the Mini's power cable has a changeable duckhead adapter?

It does not - it's a single piece cable (and figure 8 / C7 is easy to find)

Sorry for my sloppy language. By adapter I mean a something that converts the Australian Physical Plug to a UK Plug as they are different. Something like this from Amazon. I personally would go with the Figure 8 cable as recommended above as that's a more robust solution as cables often fall out of adapters.
