Hello,
so, I've almost given up hope at this point, but as this is the main modding hub for Civ VI, I thought I'd give it one last shot before I re-install Windows in order to get my Australia civ working. (For the record, I've reinstalled the game twice, verified the game files in Steam, and run some Windows system diagnostics that were suggested to me by 2K support -- all to no avail so far.)
The problem is simply that if I enable Australia and try to start a new game, at the point where John Curtin is supposed to appear and Sean Bean start his usual tirade about ancient beasts and whatnot, a small text ('Start Game') briefly flashes on the black screen, and then it's back to main menu for yours truly, ad infinitum.
Now, as the latest idea, and to start tinkering with modding as well, I tried to fix the issue by making a mod where I modify the game's database, based on my assumption that the problem lies there. Database.log seems to support this theory, with its reference to the Digger unit:
These are the lines that I put in my mod:
In any case even if I got the mod working as intended, it'd only be a band-aid fix to a more serious issue, because according to my understanding, re-installing the game should wipe out the database and remove any possible errors in it. I suspect it might have something to do with the Windows registry, which is why I'm thinking of re-installing my Windows at this point.
Before I resort to such drastic measures... Your take on it, modding dudes and dudettes of CivFanatics?

Spoiler Database.log :
These are the lines that I put in my mod:
Apparently there's still a syntax error in there somewhere, although I tried to get everything correct. I suppose this is a modding question as well, as I'd like to find out where I went wrong with my typing?

Iirc, I did do that with the second reinstall, but I'm only 90 % sure. I'll reinstall again tomorrow and post the result (right now I should be asleep).
A BIG thanks to you, because this issue has plagued me for at least a month now and I almost went ahead and nuked my Windows on account of it... I might repost this advice on a few Reddit threads if I can still find them, because a few other people have been having similar issues as well. Anyway, now it's a choice between sleep and colonizing Australia on your very own (superbly) modded map... 
This is a much more pleasant problem to have, so again, thank you!
