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.

Whatever you do - don't mention the Emus.

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.
