Melbourne suffers some damage when the nuke lands but fails to detonate causing panic and evacuation for several weeks as bomb squads disable and destory the warhead, in the chaos a lot of infrastructure is destroyed. In Sydney there is panic as people rush to leave the city but nothing happens since the nuke decends too early and explodes in the Coral Sea over a reef people are able to return in time to prevent major damage to infrastructure. Canberra is evac'ed but its much more disorderly than both cities as citizens scramble to get out of the valley in the face of official convoys and the such. Australia soon recovers as a nation, with Sydney as the new capital since Victoria is greatly weakened after Melbourne's chaos and Canberra is finally decided on as too isolated. Australia then focuses on aiding Adelaide and Perth managing to retake control of Central and South Australia by the end of 2013. Eventually gaining all of Australia by about late 2014 with Tasmania and Kimberly the last areas to be placed back under Canberra.

Sydney and Melbourne would be more accurate nuke targets
