Between 1995 to the end of the Bangladesh series, here is what i think have been Australia's Top 10 most convincing/famous test victories:
1.vs South Africa, Jo'Burg 2002 - all round i don't Australia could have played a better test than this.
2.vs West Indies, Jamaica 1995 - when the era of dominance started i reckon.
3.vs Pakistan, Hobart 1999 - had a bit of help from the umpires but it was a superb run-chase.
4.vs Sri Lanka, Kandy 2004 - after being bowled out for 120 on day 1 to come back & win was just superb & really showed how good Australia are.
5,vs India, Bangalore 2004 - given Australia's historical problems in India i think this win was one of their best wins.
6.vs Pakistan, Brisbane 1995 - given the obvious strenght of Pakistan at the time this victory has to be one of the best.
7.vs Sri Lanka, Galle, 2004 - simply a remarkable comeback
8.vs South Africa, Jo'Burg 1997 - clinical performance in what i reckon is Australia's favourite overseas venue.
9.vs Pakistan, Rawalpindi 1998 - from what i saw of this match its got be one of Australia best overseas test wins.
10.The Super test - seeing Australia beat the best in the world so convincingly has to one of their best wins IMO.
Others matches worth mentioning are Old trafford 97, Durban & Jo'Burg 2006, Port-Elizabeth 97, Sydney 2006 & Bridgetown 95..

and top 10 ODI's during the same period:
1.2003 WC Final - given the magnitude of the game to come up with such a clinical performance was just superb.
2.vs South Africa, Porth Elizabeth 2002 - one of the best run chases i have ever seen.
3.99 WC semi-final vs South Africa - i guess its probabl Australia most famous ODI win.
4.vs Pakistan, Lahore 98 - the Gilchrist/Ponitng partnership in this game is one i will never forget.
5. 96 WC QF vs New Zealand - didn't see it live just have the tape but this was a superb victory
6.96 WC semi-final vs West Indies - another game that shows that Australia know how to rise to the big occassion.
7.VB Series 2002, MCG vs NZ - Bevan to the rescue
8.vs Pakistan, Sydney 2000 - given the strenght of the Pakistan OD this victory was superb.
9.VB Series Final vs Sri Lanka - given the initial start to the match & its importance the way Australia came back to win was utterly superb IMO.
10.vs West IIndies, Sydney, 96 - Bevans last ball miracle.
