The 3 hour day is a rare thing, but I dont think that its more available in Australia than anywhere else... I know more people with that setup in the states, as an anecdote.
And fully remote in the states has the additional benefit of actual high speed internet.
Well all I can say is that I've worked at 1 startup, 1 agency and 2 very large tech corporates here in Australia, and I've been able to maintain only working 2 - 3 hours a day at each of those companies, as well as maintain a few days not doing anything at all.
And I wouldn't even consider myself top-tier at what I do.
Although to your point, I think Australian work culture is very flexible. You can work a lot if you want. You can also do the bare minimum. I've just noticed that there's no enforced standard, aside from doing literally nothing. In a lot of cases, the few people who do work a lot do end up making up for all the people who don't want to work, so it evens out in the end.
