Australia has a lot of high grade coal, which can be used for steel making (unlike low grade coal). And Australia has enormous quantities of high grade iron ore (as in you can weld to the rocks found in some parts of the country). Yet to the frustration of many Australian's we don't make steel. Instead we export the coal and ore to countries that make the steel, and they export the finished product back to us.
