I, for one, advocate for the RVTRN to Sumerian cuneiform

Linear B or bust!

How does a country so big avoid having dialects form? I thought it was just natural.

It's really just a product of time. English has been spoken in England for centuries, which has resulted in a lot of regional divergence. The US has been settled by English speakers for almost 200 years longer than Australia. Given enough time, Australia will develop regional accents and dialect variation, it's just too young for that to have really happened yet.
