Ned Kelly is getting very Robin Hood like here in Australia, although his actual story isn't as heroic.
For an arthurian hero, perhaps Whitlam? Or Governor Macquarie, who arrived in Australia and removed the corruption in the system, and also changed our currency from alcohol to coinage (basically he took on the bastard cops and won). He also was able to answer the question of "you and whose army?" with "my army" and not be inaccurate. Naming half of Australia after himself was a bit rum though....
