* UsefulNotes/ErwinRommel, the TropeNamer for MagnificentBastard, said that, if he had to take Hell, he would use the [[UsefulNotes/AussiesWithArtillery Australians]] to do so. And the [[UsefulNotes/KiwisWithCarbines New Zealanders]] to hold it.
** Expand that, and you get pretty much the history of the Australian armed forces. Yes they suffered losses from time to time, but generally did pretty well overall.

* [[https://www.tumblr.com/buginateacup/149792414096/humans-are-weird This]] thread on Tumblr discussing how odd humanity and the borderline DeathWorld planet they live on would come across to extraterrestrials. The nickname "Space Australians" comes up to describe humanity, naturally leading to some amused reflection on how humanity would then explain Australia -- basically a Death World ''within'' a Death World -- to the rest of the universe. It naturally culminates in a short story about a powerful alien its gambling opponents with a terrifyingly venomous alien spider-thing, with all the other extraterrestrials reacting in terror at what is clearly one of the most horrifying life-forms in the cosmos and three out of the four humans present not recognising the creature but clearly picking up on the signs that it's bad news and reacting warily... only for the fourth human to nonchalantly slam an upside-down glass on top of it, trap it inside, and cheerfully take it away to dispose of it. She is, of course, an Australian.

* ''VideoGame/{{Wipeout}}'' gives us the racing team Triakis Industries, born as a weapon-manufacturing conglomerate and boasting the best-shielded craft in the competition. If they're described in their bio in Wiki/ThisVeryWiki as "the result of Saxton Hale getting warped into the far future and running a racing team", it has to count for something. Bonus points for their name being inspired by the leopard shark.[[note]]Which, amusingly, can't be found in Australian waters.[[/note]]
