Thai.. Japanese... and Chinese Yum Cha/Dim Sum.. Indian..
Australian Fusion is a bit of a cop out...generally means lots of seafood and not really forgoing many tastes..
It's a bit hard for me to say something like italian or mexican because they're probably a little more integrated into the western diet and a little easier to cook and not as much of a "special" thing. I mean I can whip up an awesome goats cheese and pinenut fettucini in about 10 minutes flat... and spaghetti/pizza/tacos are things that you've grown up with. Not that thats all it is.. but you've got to go to a pretty spectacular italian place to make it worthwhile in my opinion otherwise I'd just make it myself.. Spanish is ok.. I guess I'm judging things a little by their relative exposure(not that thai/chinese resturants haven't been on every corner for 30 years ;) )/cooking difficulty here... but so be it. I like exploring food.. I just spent two weeks trying to procure and ordering in karasumi which is dried and salted mullet moe which I used for coating and searing sashimi tuna as there was none in a 200mile radius.. Then again karasumi is just japanese for bottarga in italy.. and pizza is pretty awesome when it's homemade....
