Australia has oil reserves. In the 1990s an infinitesimal fraction as developed as the major world oil players, but there nonetheless. Fuel oil for ships doesn't need sophisticated refining. One possibility for moving troops around might be some P&O cruise ships based in Australian ports. Unwilling or unable to get the vessels back to the UK or the US, the company couldn't do much to prevent the vessels being commandeered by the Australian government once the global naval war was in full swing. One or two may have survived to 2000. They might not have been worked particularly hard by then either.
