As you probably know, Australia was a prisoner colony. In other words: They started from zero and had to import every thing -- as every colony in its beginning. After some time, resources were discovered. As far I know, they had to import alcohol, because they were limited by regulations from Britain.
If you do some further researches, you can find out, which resources Australia doesn't have, but they have most of them.
Also they needed new prisoners to work on the big farms. These could also just come (in these early times) from Britain.
When James Cook claimed the eastern half of Australia for Great Britain, he named it "New South Wales", the name still held by one of the states.
Great Britain originally colonised and governed Australia.
No, Australia and New Zealand have not broken all their ties with Great Britain.
James Cook was still a lieutenant and not yet a captain when he named the eastern half of Australia as New South Wales, and claimed it in the name of Great Britain in 1770.

Great Britain was the nation that colonised both Australia and New Zealand for their resources. Colonising both countries enabled furred expansion of the British Empire, while their position in the South Pacific gave Great Britain a strategic presence in that part of the world.
The USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and many smaller countries were with Britain on D-Day.
Britain ---- Actually, "belong to" is probably not the correct term. More correct terminology would be to say that Australia and New Zealand were colonised by and governed from Britain. They were part of the British Empire, but since the Indigenous Australians were not recognised as British citizens, it could not be truly said that Australia "belonged" to Britain.
