Maybe start looking in Northern Queensland!
The AWM site shows many pics of LCAs used in training in North Queensland and in Operations in the Islands (Morotai, Borneo, Dutch East Indies, etc). They were ex D-Day vets, crewed by the Royal Marines.

Caption to AWM 018027:

"Queensland. 22 January 1945. LCA (landing craft, assault) boat manned by Royal Marines are co-operating with AIF in amphibious landing training. These LCAs were used in the landing on D-Day at Normandy and were manned by Royal Marines. On arriving at this locality in Australia, the Royal Marines were issued with Australian felt hats and wear them with their famous Marine badge in place of the rising sun."
