Admittedly a few nukes would have found their way here, but even so, I'm thinking more along the lines of somewhere between 10-25% is a more accurate guess.
At the absolute extreme, if everyone died in and around the cities likely to be hit (Sydney, Newcastle, Woolongong, Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne) it would be around 46% - and that's if EVERYONE died.

Yeah I agree that was high but if causalities are fewer, food production might be higher than 10-20% of pre war.
