Mitchell Starc took 10 wickets in the match as Australia bounced back from last week's shock defeat by Bangladesh to win the second Test by an innings and 51 runs and draw the series 1-1.
The visitors were skittled for 95 in 38.3 overs with Starc taking four wickets and Nathan Lyons and captain Pat Cummins three each, as Australia wrapped up victory just after tea on the second day at the Great Barrier Reef Arena in Mackay.
Starc finished with match figures of 10-51, following his 6-12 in the first innings as Bangladesh struggled to 64 all out.
Last Sunday's nine-wicket defeat for the world's top-ranked side in Darwin was widely seen as one of Test cricket's greatest upsets.
"A lot of things went right these couple days and a lot of things went wrong last week," said Cummins, 33, who took 3-10 in the second innings.
"We needed to bounce back, and it was a great couple of days from the lads. I thought everyone was sharp. It was a great start and we didn't really let up after that."
Earlier in the day, Australia added 45 runs to their overnight total as they were bowled out for 210 with Cameron Green top scoring with 67 and Lyon adding an unbeaten 32 to give them a first-innings lead of 146.
