I thought most were taken to airfields like Oakey and Tocumwal as mentioned above.
500N,

With due respect, not quite.

5AD Wagga received nearly all the UK-built and about half the DAP-built Beaufighter survivors.

1AD Laverton received the other half of the Mk.21's.

Both 6AD Oakey and 7AD Tocumwal received a mere handful only.

There seems to have been an AD/type relationship; 6AD at Oakey seems to have been the final resting place for virtually all of the Spitfire and Kittyhawk survivors.

Cheers.
