"Why is it the birds of the UK have managed to arouse the interest of so many, yet those of Australia, far surpassed in diversity & beauty & the splendour of the environment they occupy seem to have failed?"

I would think that the migration of birds is so much more obvious in the UK, and would stimulate the interest of many people.  Yes, we have significant migration, but the average person in the street mainly doesn't notice it.  The public face of the RSPB may also be a factor.
