    Google Maps doesn't have map data for Australia, only satellite imagery.

    When Australia was colonised by the British, there were already people living here. Most of them were effectively massacred, because the British did not consider them "advanced people" or something. The British effectively stole their land, started "Australia", and the small percentage of aborigines who make up Australia's population would probably like the land to still be regarded as theirs. That isn't how things are, though.
