I am in Australia, I know what keyboard we use.

However, AFAIK en_GB is a language choice, not a kbd choice. I'm not 
alone in this belief:

See the user-agent line. More commonly in these headers though, a hyphen 
is used in place of the underscore, and it seem to not be case-sensitive.

Given that Australian spelling is essentially British (but with some 
particular Australian meanings) en_GB is fine.
