Dead Can Dance over a bunch of nice albums I never listen to anymore.
I remember these two as particularly great:

Man, that's a good idea, especially bearing in mind some of my favourite prog bands are from Wales. Yaki da.

Sebastian Hardie's debut and Symphininty by Windchase. These two are the upper echelon of Aussie prog for me. *Before the advent of the internet that is*
Nota bene, they're pretty much the same band at the creative core with Mario Millo and Toivo Pilt doing the bulk of arrangement/songwriting in both SH and WC.
----
In the case of contemporary music, there's a much wider selection of Oz prog gems out there: Plini, Tame Impala, King Gizzard, Unitopia, Toehider et al.
I can't help but draw a clear line separating the two periods of Australian industrialization for some reason.

^ I'll add Tame Impala to the second Aussie Prog poll, in place of Windchase.

Dead Can Dance is one of my favourite bands and I very much like the debut.
By the way, The Necks is a recent addition to Prog Archives from the land down under that I am very into.

Not much here I either know or like, as a result I was forced to vote for the band Finnforest called the Air Supply of Prog. Ouch! Sebastian Hardie.

Southern Empire's debut still gets a lot of play from me...
