Main ones are Brisbane, Newcastle, Sydney Harbour, Botany Bay, Port Phillip (Melbourne), Devonport, Hobart Perth and Darwin. Probably a couple of others.
There are some little ones around and speciality ports for loading raw materials like iron ore at Pt Pirie and alumina at Groote Island.

We call them Poms or Pommies, often with the prefix whinging, as in whinging Pommy. Nobody really knows for sure where the term originated, but the answers above cover most of myths associated with the word. It's like the word wog, which is supposed to mean westernised oriental gentleman, but is usually associated with Italians and Greeks, so that explanation makes no sense. The words started out as derogatory terms, but over the decades have become just another slang word with no offense intended when they're used. As for you not being a fan of the English, join the club honey, I'm from Scotland,so not a big fan myself, but that's in my blood!! . You know the old saying? Q- What's the best thing to ever come out of England?A- The road to Scotland.

The most important at the moment would include Townsville (loads out copper, lead and some sugar), Mackay (Hay Point), Gladstone, and Newcastle which are all coal loaders and those in Western Australia which load out iron ore and compressed natural gas. Mackay also loads out sugar. Gladstone also loads out alumina and aluminium.
Other ports include Port Alma (Rockhampton, small), some beef and salt , Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide (Port Adelaide) Devonport in Tasmania for sintered iron ore, Hobart, Perth.
