I have been searching all over for models of australian plants too. I am an american with dual US/Aussie citizenship (and 1/8 Wiradjuri blood), and would love to make some Australia nature/bush scenes.
So far, the only Australia models I know of are a kangaroo/wallaby set at Vista, and some models on the lightwave content CD of the Opera Hopuse and the Harbour bridge.
If you download the demo of Google SketchUp, you can download and export several Australian buildings (including Centrepoint Tower (sydney), as well as the entire Brizzie skyline. Also the VisaPro CD includes an Uluru Dem. It's public domain, so soon I will make an .obj of it for use in Poser available in freestuff.
Other than that the only thing I know of is that set of Australia flags I uploaded in freestuff this past jan, (to commemorate my first Australia day since getting my Ausssie citizenship).
There are a few online sites from which you can download scans of australian currency to use as textures (on Poser squares stretched into the appropriate shapes) to make Australian notes.
But, c'mon, how about some gum trees, wattles, gidgee trees, etc?
I'm surprised that Australia is the only continent not covered by XFrog's tree models/billboards.
