Mormonism has always fascinated me- it is such a uniquely American religion. (I know, I know, you may disagree, but hear me out)

Mormonism declared that the Garden of Eden was in America (specifically, Jackson County, Missouri) Mormonism integrated Native Americans into their Book of Mormon as the Lost Tribes of Israel. Mormonism came to have a frontier mentality and the effects carried over from the Burned-Out District and Great Awakenings of the period are still evident today.

My question is this: Is there any way to create an Australian analogue of this? Some preacher founds something distinct from Christianity, adding a massive corpus to the New and Old Testaments, and ties the Aborigines into the *Biblical narrative? And could it blossom in Australia as well or better than it did in America?
