Why is Queen Elizabeth on Australian Money?
It's because the English came and took over Australia along with the Aboriginals and by that I mean the Aboriginals were kicked off the land and most of them were killed because they refused. Also Australia was colonized by the English. There for we are part of the UK and have adopted a similar form of government and choose to remain part of the UK.
The English hardly "took over" Australia - they had no idea how large it was. They did establish colonies in Australia. You offer no evidence that Aboriginals were "kicked off the land" (Into the ocean?) and that most of them were killed because they refused, and this isn't relevant to the question anyway.
The previous answer makes sense beginning with Also, except
Australia is part of the Commonwealth, not exactly part of the UK.

When was the monarchy overthrown in France?
It was in 1870 when the French stopped having monarchs.
The 1848 revolution led to the fall of Louis Philippe I, and then Louis Napoleon Bonaparte (a nephew of Napoleon the emperor) became president and then, in 1852, he became emperor under the name Napoleon III.
This was the Second Empire. Finally, after the defeat and fall of Napoleon III by Prussia, in 1870, the French III republic was born, and that's when the monarchy was officially over.
This revolution happened because the French people were starving, really poor and mad. The French philosophers were teaching and speaking of other systems of government, some very Utopian and some practical. After a particularly poor harvest and seeing in what extravagance their royalty lived the poor arose and overthrew the royalty. A republic was formed, the King, Queen and many others were given a one way trip to the guillotine and the French were free.
