Default British Carriers in Oz

Hi all - this has probably been discussed on other threads but I don't want to chase them all. I would like a precis of why and how we have these Carriers in Oz. At this stage I haven't included them in my Carrier database but they seem to be popping up more and more, so perhaps I should include them.

Bob

I was wondering the same thing when the one down here appeared. Maybe postwar surplus vehicles found there way here?

Default english carriers

Perhaps a few were brought back with the forces from North Africa in 1942/3?
Or shipments bound for Malaya in 1941/2 ended up here after the area was overrun?
Just guesses.

I'd like to know how the Scout carrier happened to get to Aussie.
