I suppose a lot would have to do with the kind of war that would be fought. The two countries are rather far away from each other so I think that naval type conflicts would definitely play a part. I do not know which country has a stronger navy; I do not even know if they both have a navy.
I would think that as far as the on land battles go, it would depend on which country did the invading. Even though we do not want to involve the U.S., they do occupy the entire southern border of Canada. There is also that part of Canada that touches Alaska, another U.S. territory. In the least the Australian army would need co-operation from the U.S. On the other hand if the Canadians were able to land a sizable force on the Australian mainland the Australian army could be hard pressed. Lets face it a country completely surrounded by water is hard to defend. [img]graemlins/rambo.gif[/img]

Re. the Navy, Australia has a good Navy - as you'd expect for an island continent. There's a lot of water to patrol. Does Canada have a Navy? Canada has 10 million more people though. We have 20 million, Canada has 30 million. |

Would they really declare war on us - sheesh, just because we don't let them win swimming gold medals at the Commonwealth games any more - is that any good reason to throw a major wobbly .
