good idea, but im not sure how an aboriginal hunter would stand up in most aussies opinion, we still wont apologise for stealing their kids 40 years ago. As good as the idea is im afraid some might see it as bad tasteMegatherion said:

I would like to see either an SAS unit (Marine that has the Commando and Mobility promotion but not the Amphibious promotion), or a Light Horse Regiment (a mounted Infantry unit, so given move 2 and withdraw from combat, similar to the Persian Immortal).
These two units are probably the most recognised and militarily successful units in Australian military history (IMO), with the Australian Light Horse having made the last successful great cavalry charge (which to my mind is pretty impressive for a unit that was not a cavalry unit, i.e. they were not meant to fight from horseback) at the Battle for Beersheba in 1917.

i didnt really mind aus being left out of civ3. but i was a little peeved that ptw didnt fix that. then i was annoyed when conquests left it too. its simply insulting that aus doesnt even get a mention in civ4. glad someones doing something about it.
i personally would like to see Whitlam as the leader. although he didnt preside the longest, he was the greatest damn primeminister the country has seen. governments have only been going downhill ever since.
UU:
ANZAC (reason obvious)
Light Cav (also served extensively throughout WWs, a part of ANZAC, more specific than just 'ANZAC')
or SAS (decribed as the most disciplined and well trained soldiers in the world. serving in both recent conflicts, iraq and afghanistan, suffering not a single casualty. that im aware of)
City names... as suggested above. they may conflict with england, but they do exist in aus. and i don't see any reason to exclude Goldcoast.
and i think a new civ trait need to be given to australia. 'laidback' and 'don't give a damn'. jk

Wow. An Australian civ would rock, and its great to read all of the interest about one from peeps from different countries 
The Aussie UU could be the SAS, sort of similar to that of the Marine, however with a more all-round feeling instead of being mostly Amphibious like the America's Marines.
Or maybe it could be our infamous Collins class submarine, which was nothing more than a disaster Give it abilities similar to that of the sub currently in the game, but also give it a +95% of being spotted by any ship
O, and add Toowoomba to the Aussie city list

Leader: For what I read we have 3 leaders: Edmund Barto, Robert Menzies and Steve Irwin. Let's start with single one and late add the second, what do u vote for fellows? Just one vote per posters
And what suppose to be his bon
UU: We have these ones:
- Anzac, looks like the most popular
- Aborigine Boomerang Hunter, maybe this one could be used for any local civ before the modern Australia was founded.
- Sentinel Tank
- SAS
- Australian Light Horse, looks like the second most popular.
Untill now I fell Anzac is the best option, any more suggestions?
City list: we have one done by Phal78 (post number 28), thanks! I use to have limit of 50 names for this list, if u want add more, post
Civilopedia entry: we have one done by Kulgan (post number 13), thanks!
Leaders list: we have one on post number 33 posted by Deev, thanks! But I didn't know untill now how to change the leaders list of any new civ
But I can use it when I discovery how to do that
Color: what color Australia should use?
Flag: SuBI did one on page number 01, thanks!

I vote for Australian Light Horse as UU.
Personally I don't think the UU should be ANZAC, as this was a combined force of Australian and New Zealand troops (hence the name Australia and New Zealand Army Corps).
I vote for Robert Menzies as PM - he was the longest serving PM and was PM during part of WWII (there were a total of five PM's during WWII).
Steve Irwin would be a great Entertainer, but he's not a PM (at least not yet )

Yeah, I belive the SAS would be a better UU for Australia, ANZAC's weren't uniquely Australian

true, but as there is currently no 'NZ' civilization, australia does hold a monopoly on ANZACs. but thats why i think light horse is a better choice. more 'australian' whilst still keeping a part of ANZACs.
and lacking support for Whitlam as the leader, i throw my support for menzies.
ps. Steve Irwin should be shot. multiple times. and then fed to the crocs. good riddence
