Usually just use the large ceiling fans.Australian conditions usually include low humidity at high temperatures so fans work well as they work by increasing evaporation of perspiration. Under humid conditions evaporation is much reduced due to the air carrying nearer its limit of moisture so fans are less effective.
In places like Samoa and Indonesia, and Vietnam they usually just use fans. Fans are fine for those hot humid conditions. I have yet to go to a place in New Zealand where it has been so hot and humid that air conditioning was required. Fans are sufficient.
