Correction: It would make it more difficult, but not impossible. Even the US today has procedures listed on the US State Department website for how people without certified birth certificates can present alternate forms of proof of citizenship to obtain passports. For a country like Australia, with a large backcountry, such procedures must also exist since this situation certainly occurs with a small but not-unheard-of frequency.
