Billy Slater and Johnathan Thurston scored hat-tricks as Australia reached the World Cup final with a 10-try demolition of Fiji in Sydney.
The reigning champions were heavy favourites and Paul Gallen put them ahead with just a minute on the clock.
And they never looked back after going 22-0 ahead after just 16 minutes.
Although Fiji battled bravely, they were no match for the Kangaroos, Brent Tate ending up with two tries while Greg Inglis completed the scoring.
Australia will now meet New Zealand in Saturday's World Cup final and will be odds-on to retain their crown.
Ricky Stuart's side have yet to be fully tested so far, winning all their games and conceding just 16 points in the process.
The only downside to the semi-final win over the Fijians was the hip injury to New Zealand Warriors wing Tate, who is now almost certainly out of the final.
