Why did coal not never form in Australia?

Coal did form in Australia; however, its formation was predominantly limited to specific geological conditions and time periods. The majority of Australia's coal deposits were created during the Carboniferous and Permian periods when lush vegetation thrived in swampy environments. Over millions of years, this plant matter was buried and transformed into coal under heat and pressure. While Australia is rich in coal resources, the distribution and types of coal vary across different regions.
