As James mentioned, there is a chain called Smorgy's in several locations in Victoria, but it appears to be a sort of cross between Chuck E. Cheese and Trader Vic's. Or Rainforest Cafe and, er, Rainforest Cafe. Doesn't look particularly promising. There is a place called the Outrigger on Hamilton Island in Queensland, looks like it's a sort of upscale resort restaurant, it's probably only vaguely Polynesian at best. Melbourne has the Outre Gallery, an art gallery along the lines of La Luz de Jesus (think Shag). Full details including hours & addresses & whatnot are available in Critiki: Australian tiki locations in Critiki
