I do remember the story how Australia expected a Russian invasion and was preparing for it for nearly a hundred years. 19th century. Unfortunately Russia was not aware of that so nothing happened.

@rafomic4210 yeaps. I don't remember the details but apparently after Russia defeated Napoleon, the news came to Australia late and in some destorted form like Russia is taking the whole world now. The media created some hysteria to sell the news better (see any similarities?) and Great Britain also pedalled that fear for some reason. As a result they built fortifications and every Russian ship was seen as a beginning of invasion. Some Russian captain got super upset about the whole nonsence, wante to sue the authorities for slander and invited everyone onboard to see that it's not a military ship, just a trading one. That didn't help. Only at the beginning of 20th century Australia relaxed a little.
