So there were no Australian troops left in Greece to bring home by the time the Pacific war fired up. In fact, the war in Greece had been over for a good 6 months.

Thanks for the clarification -- I wondered about that. I think I read that the Australians who were recalled toward home were mostly in North Africa (probably Egypt) at the time.

The folks who got evacuated from Greece and then Crete went to Alexandria, Egypt. They would have arrived there by June, 1941. I'm not sure when they sailed back for Australia.
