So being bored one day and trying to find a cheesy start as Australia, I hit upon this wonderous (hah) start: http://imgur.com/a/t4NOj.

It's probably the best start I've ever seen, and just thought I'd share it with you guys in case you wanted to test it out! And as if it wasn't good enough, there are three military city states close by for some insane unit production.

For those of you who want to test it out:

Map: Pangea Size:Standard Game seed: 59919920 Map seed: 59919996 Civ: Australia DLC: All of them (missing dlc may result in a different map) Resources: Abundant Starting position: Legendary

if you use these settings, you should be able to reproduce this start! Have fun!
