Yes. Bubonic Plague was recorded in Sydney in 1900. A massive cleansing operation was conducted in Sydney in July 1900, briefly stopping the disease, but more outbreaks continued to occur as ships brought the plague in from overseas. In fact, between 1900 and 1925, there were twelve major outbreaks of bubonic plague in Australia, with a total overall death toll of 535.

When did the black plague reach Australia?

The Black Plague, or Black Death, primarily affected Europe in the 14th century and did not reach Australia, as the continent was largely uninhabited by Europeans at that time. The first recorded significant outbreak of plague in Australia occurred much later, in 1900, when the bubonic plague was introduced to the port city of Sydney. This outbreak was part of a broader pattern of plague that had been occurring globally, but it was not directly related to the medieval Black Death.

Considering Smallpox killed over 300 million (300,000,000) people in the 20th century alone, I think it bests pretty much any other plague in history. So, no, the London Plague is not the biggest plague ever.
