Well they fought in all the one's Britain was involved in (apart from the Falklands, which was only categorised as a Conflict at the time) plus they went to Vietnam. They've probably got a few extras in there as well. I don't know exactly which wars Australia fought in, just that they make this claim reasonably frequently. Darwin got bombed by the Japanes during WW2 and aparently they got a submarine into Sydney Harbour but that is the only war where Australia was directly threatened - maybe that's why Australia like them so much! And currently we're the only country involved in Iraq where there isn't major opposition to the war (there is some but not enough to force the PM to justify himself and no where near enough to damage the Government's position).
