I think that on the camino, as in life, it is important to carry one's load. Of course, this is just my opinion and I would never insist on it. It is a burden to carry one's possessions (for that month or so) but also a tremendous freedom – just one of the paradoxes of...
As already mentioned, the Camino Salvado from Perth to New Norcia is in Western Australia. It is historically linked to a catholic mission to indigenous people. It's been developed really well and (I believe) is no longer only open to booked groups.
There's also the Bundian Way in New South Wales.
Thanks Kathar1na, I mean a). My concern is that asking people about their spirituality as they experience it might be disruptive. Perhaps I could seek the data after the completion of a person's Camino (see if I could base out of the pilgrim office at Santiago) or even online.

The survey form is no longer active.
There is a plethora of academic research regarding the camino across a variety of disciplines, and I'm happy to share my bibliography with other researchers.

I am Australian, 32, an...
@Crad80 - I'll add my voice to the ones who had recommend going on from Santiago.
I hadn't intended to walk further (didn't even know that you could!) until a fellow pilgrim told me of his plans.
There are some fantastic views, but of course the camino is not just a nature hike. You may find...
