Australia’s resources were mainly agricultural, supplying grain and wool to the Allies. There were significant coal resources available, but the large deposits of bauxite and iron ore were not then discovered or developed. Nor was oil in Bass Strait, in fact the country was short of oil and some was (expensively) processed from oil shales.
