Obviously you were not looking hard enough. Coffee in Australia is some of the best in the world if not the very best. Immigration has its positive points and a large influx of Italians, Greeks and to a certain extent even French has ensured that Australians know what good coffee tastes like.
One really has to wonder whether you have even tasted great coffee.
For those of you in London, can I strongly suggest you try a shop called "Flat White" in Soho. Details via the following link:

Fantastic coffee to say the least especially in a city where they are only just beginning to get some decent coffee!
