That's a war I hadn't heard of. What was Australia's population in 1866?

Couldn't find 1866 but this was 1881

1881 census results
NSW           Vic           Qld           Tas           SA          NT        WA         Australia
751,468   862,346   213,525   115,704   276,414   9,797   29,708   2,250,194

No too shabby but spread across the continent we would be weak on the ground almost everywhere.

It's the hats turned up on one side that's the giveaway - Tasmanian kaiserdiggers.

Apparently not, they lost against the referee (see also Ireland vs. the Japanese).

Yes it's still a bit of a sore spot for them, poor buggers.
