I don't think Australia has much metallurgical coal. Steel making is dirty, though Australia has plenty of places to make steel where it wouldn't cause a serious local air quality problem.

Australia does have a lot of coal, also exported.

Metallurgical coal tends to be biuminous, which AU has much of.

They export the coal and the iron ore which I thought was super weird, different sides of the country but still...
