Reference to ‘Australia’ on birth record?

I’ve noticed a strange reference to Australia (crossed out) on a birth record for a child of Johan Severin Larsen and Hanna Serianna Johnsdtr. See Ingrid Johansdtr - Entry #8 (third from bottom) The child apparently only lived for 3 months (died Jan 1899). Her mother, Hanna Serianna Johnsdtr, died shortly after in July 1900. The family didn’t arrive in Australia until 1905 so I’m not sure what this reference means. Borghild was their first child (born 1882) but didn’t come out to Australia with the family (perhaps she married and stayed in Norway or died). The family that arrived in Australia were Johan Larsen (father) and children - Karen Aslaug, Gudrun, Signe, Leif and Hanna (born March 1900) and Bjorn (apparently born on board ship – parents not specified).
