I think they kinda want to know where you've been over the last 5 years. Since you were in another country for a year, I think that's significant and should be reported. It also lets them know you will be needing an Australian police certificate by the time you interview.

Note this bit on the London Embassy website about foreign police certificate, particularly Australia. http://london.usembassy.gov/document_checklist.html#police_certificate

Please note that many countries require fingerprints to process police certificates for immigration purposes (e.g,

Australia

, Canada, Nigeria). Police certificates completed without the required fingerprints are not valid. In these cases, applicants must not capture their own fingerprints.

Assuming you will be back in the UK for visa processing you'll need to allow some time to get fingerprinted in the UK at an approved police station then order the police certificate from Australia. Could take a while. Or you could find out where to get fingerprinted and order one before you leave AUS. Just a heads up for your preparation because there was a guy who didn't read that fingerprint instruction and his visa was not approved on interview day. He lost some months waiting to get the proper police certificate from Australia.
