With the possible exception of traders tokens (with the traders business name on them), there were no "Australian" Farthings ever produced.

The British One Shilling coin was last minted for circulation in 1966. After decimalisation in 1971, the Shilling became the equivalent of a 5 Pence coin and co-circulated with the Shilling until it was officially demonetised in 1991.
