Not to breach OPSEC or anything, but I can tell you the number is definitely higher than 59.
Remember, there's not just 1AR who has them... you have to train in them first to learn to drive them right?
And it's on public record that a number of M1's are at School of Armour, so that should answer the questions posed as far as anyone needs to know them.
Defence also has it's current deployments on it's website. All you need to do is look at them, read about what those deployments actually are and ask "Would they be using MBTs there?"
Wow? just 59 Abrams in Australia? Damn, I will get two drunk buddies of mine and we are going to invade armed with sticks.
Unreasonably huge beer cans... here we come.

Come on. Who would invade Australia? And it doesnt mean that Australia doesnt have other tanks. I'm sure they have plenty of weapons to face armored vehicules on land. Shoulder carried or not.
Even the most backward countries have some smart guys with strategic maps and huge budgets to spend... And they make plans to defend their country.
If they needed more MBTs they would get some...
hey isn't Christmas island apart of australia?Just try it mate
we don't need tanks to stop an invading force
are you talking about the navy?And I don't think it was ever meant to actually try to defend Australia from a real threat by itself.
