There is a page on bibliotecapleyades.net written in 1996 by Paul White, titled Ancient Egypt ~ Link with Australia (http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/esp_australia02.htm).
Part or all of the page is reproduced on many other websites on the Net. It contains the following stories:
Egyptian hieroglyphs found in New South Wales
The hieroglyphs tell the tale of early Egyptian explorers, injured and stranded, in ancient Australia. The discovery centers around a most unusual set of rock carvings found in the National Park forest of the Hunter Valley, 100 km north of Sydney.
These are also known as the Gosford Glyphs or the Kariong Egyptoid. However there is enough evidence to satisfy me that they are all modern forgerie (http://donsmaps.com/hoax.html)s. Note that the cartouches have square corners and some hieroglyphs are either anachronistic or drawn wrongly or face the wrong way. The culprit, an old Yugoslav man, was discovered and his chisel confiscated!

The Gympie Pyramid and Ape
A stone ape statue possibility 3000 years old. The statue was unearthed in 1966 on Mr Dal K. Berrys Wolvi road property. The ape is made of conglomerate iron stone and shows a squatting ape figure. It is believed to represent the Egyptian God Thoth in ape form. A smaller stone idol unearthed near the Gympie Pyramid is also believed to represent the Egyptian God Thoth in ape form clutching the Tau or the Cross of Life.
This one's a bit harder to explain, but at least it's in a museum. The pyramid site has been badly damaged but there's a group investigating what's left of it - not much IMO. There is conflicting evidence as to its origin - may have been erected by an Italian farmer in the 1880s! Here are more recent links:

(these links all contain fresh information so are worth skimming through)
Even though I'm from Australia, I didn't know about the Gympie pyramids last time I passed thru (it's a long way from here). So you'll have to visit and see for yourself.
Toowoomba (Queensland) and other locations
There are numerous anecdotes with no supporting images, making it difficult to decide how much authenticity to ascribe to these findings. I would be interested in reports from fellow Aussie forum members on any of these findings. Much of this work is pre-Internet so will be in libraries, not online. It needs to be expanded and described in detail.
