Australia

Australia — sometimes colloquially called "Oz" (MA: Invasion of the Cat-People) — was both a continent and a nation located on Earth.

Early history
Circa 40,000 BC, five Euterpians stranded on Earth visited Australia and taught the Aborigines to sing. (MA: Invasion of the Cat-People)

Circa 35,500 BC, the Monarch travelled to Earth in his ship. Australia was the site of his first visit. He abducted several Aborigines, including their leader Kurkutji, and gave them android bodies. He promised Kurkutji rulership of his people when Monarch made his final visit to conquer the planet. (DW: Four to Doomsday)

Some time later, a group of Daleks based underneath Antarctica used a captured naval submarine to attack Sydney. Their plan to use the city as a base from which to convert humans into slaves and conquer Earth was defeated by the Doctor with the aid of Lt. Davis. (TVA: *Sub Zero)

Later still, the Doctor and Sir Humphrey Picton visited an Australian radio telescope base to observe the test run of Dr. Louis French's new radio wave accelerator. The Doctor realised that its use would cause disaster, and tried in vain to prevent it. The accelerated radio waves disrupted Earth's atmosphere, creating a huge storm that heavily damaged the research station and resulted in French's death. (TVA: Is Anyone There?)
