Down Under! was a Thunderbirds comic printed in Lady Penelope in 1966 which featured elements from the Doctor Who universe.
Notably, the location of Unity City, first introduced in The Daleks comic story Duel of the Daleks, played a major part in this story's narrative. Throughout its course Bereznik conspired to destroy the capital city of the World Government from their secret base in Australia.
