OK, continuing the Australian theme - name an alternative history novel and author (the author is better known for a space series), in which Ned Kelly leads a rebellion and eventually founds a hereditary dictatorship of Australia.

Re: Science Fiction Trivia
First clue - the author is Australian
Second clue - The author's main series has included crossovers with other authors, most notably the use of one of Poul Anderson's iconic characters.
