Australia has some amazing sportspeople, though, considering the size of our population - and also manage to compete quite well in sports that are played around the world, like Hockey, Netball, triathlon. I think the real sports that stand out as Australia only (almost) are AFL and League.
League at least has some international ability (both NZ and UK are at least competing) - I think for these two sports the elite level is club games during the season (premiership winning).
However, I agree that the days of playing sport for sports sake seem to be gone and that is a shame.
