Sydney.
Australia's duet and team did not qualify for the Olympics. They performed in Sydney by default as the host nation, but could not swim at the Athens or Beijing Olympics because they needed higher scores at international competitions to do that.
In 2000, the Australian team and duet swam only because the Olympics were in Sydney and the host nation is automatically a participant. They have not gone to the Olympics since then because they did not qualify.

Melbourne (capital of Victoria) was the first Australian city to hold the Olympics, in 1956.In 2000, Sydney hosted the Olympic Games.
Australian women first competed in the Olympics in 1912. The first Australian woman to win a gold medal was Fanny Durack, from Sydney, in the 100 meter freestyle at the 1912 Games in Stockholm.
Im under the impression that a study commissioned for the London 2012 games revealed that the sydney Olympics actually lost a substantial amount of money. Im a proud Australian, but in hinsight, the sydney games were economically unfeasable.
