Answer

Gaetano, you would need to ask "what part of Australia are you from?"

Answer

In Canada/America a lot of us just say "where in X are you from" or if we have already asked where they are from, we just say "where in X?"

so we'd have something like this:

"Where are you from?" 
"Australia"
"Oh, where in Australia?"
"Near Sydney"

Answer

"What australian country come from?" ...uh, no.  You've just answered your own question.

What country do you come from? (Also: What city are you from?")
Do you come from Australia?
