Not all birds can fly. The Emu and Cassowary are examples of large, flightless Australian birds.

The Short-tailed Shearwater or Muttonbird (Puffinus tenuirostris) migrates annually, covering a distance of 15,000 kilometres in as little as six weeks. They spend the summer in SE Australia before flying to north America around April.
