I know that Australian English has many spellings in common with British English, but (as with Canadian English) the two are not identical. Are there standard, authoritative dictionaries for Australian English? Now, I prefer [Merrian-Webster](http://www.merriam-webster.com/) when verifying spellings in American English and [Cambridge](http://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/british/) or [Oxford](http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/) when editing British publications, but I don't know of any standards for Australian English. Resources that lay out rule of grammar and punctuation would be doubly useful, but that may be the domain of style guides.
