HMAS Australia was an Indefatigable class battlecruiser laid down by John Brown and Company of Clydebank at Glasgow in Scotland on 26 June 1910, launched on 25 October 1911 by Lady Reid, wife of Sir George Reid, the Australian High Commissioner in London and former Prime Minister. She was completed and commissioned at Portsmouth on 21 June 1913 and sailed for Australia on 21 July 1913 and became the Australian flagship. She missed the Battle of Jutland due to a collision with HMS New Zealand early in 1916. Australia paid off on 12 December 1921 and, in accordance with the terms of the Washington Naval Treaty, was sunk with her main armament 24 miles from Sydney on 12 April 1924.
