This recipe doesn't sound like a typical Australian recipe, but I found it on a page of popular Australian food. I found many other recipes for corn fritters in different Australian recipe sites and saw them listed in many Australian restaurant menus, so concluded that they must be quite popular in that country.

The corn fritters were relatively easy to make (except for getting the corn kernels off the cob) and my guests seemed to like them. I made them according to the recipe, though I skipped the 1/2 cup parsley it asked for, you can add it with the coriander if you'd like.They weren't delicious, however, and I'm not sure that I would make them again. I served them as an appetizer.
