Australia booked a World Cup quarter-final clash with either England or Tonga after cruising to a bonus-point victory over Fiji.
Matt Giteau was the star of the show and celebrated his 50th Test cap by scoring two of Australia's seven tries in a personal haul of 27 points.
The Wallabies enjoyed a mountain of possession and rarely needed to get above second gear as they worked a hat-trick for Drew Mitchell and tries each for Adam Ashley-Cooper and Stephen Hoiles.
Fiji's game was riddled with errors and despite scoring twice, through winger Isoa Neivua and flanker Ace Ratuva, they never came close to threatening the Wallabies.
Fiji, who made 11 changes for this game, now head to Nantes for a winner-takes-all clash with Wales. At stake is a quarter-final place against South Africa.
Fiji will be at full-strength next week and are a threat when their natural attacking game clicks. Today it misfired badly and Australia were able to waltz home.
The Wallabies had named a powerful side, captained for the 59th time by George Gregan who equalled the international record held by former England skipper Will Carling.
It took Australia 17 minutes to score their first try as Fiji defended well, and this may have been second team but they held nothing back in contact.
Rookie fly-half Berrick Barnes was hit with a huge tackle in the opening minute and the Fijians' scramble defence kept out early charges from Rocky Elsom and Wycliff Palu.
Fiji were playing the game almost exclusively in their own 22 as Gregan and Barnes frequently came close to picking open the defence.
Fiji scrum-half Jone Daunivucu disrupted Gregan at the base of a Wallaby scrum and flanker Ace Ratuva galloped clear but poor handling cost the islanders a promising attacking platform.
Barnes produced a delicate 'banana kick' from the outside of his right boot to force Fiji onto the back foot once again and Australia found their finishing touch.
Lote Tuqiri - a former Fiji rugby league captain - attacked down the right wing. His offload was deflected by a Fijian hand but Giteau was on hand to race over the line and under the posts.
Australia were nearly over twice more in quick succession but Barnes was denied a try after referee Nigel Owens recalled play for a forward pass and Tuqiri just brushed the touchline.
Australia were in complete control and Giteau extended the lead with a penalty before Latham dabbed a clever kick between two defenders for Mitchell, who held off Vilimoni Delasau to regather and touch down.
Gregan was penalised on the half hour for too much chat but Fiji again squandered the attacking platform - this was becoming a constant theme - as hooker Vereniki Sauturaga took too long over the lineout for the third time in the half.
Inevitably, Fiji were punished. The ball was spread wide from Australia's lineout and Palu fed Giteau, who spun out of the tackle and touched down for his second try of the afternoon.
Fiji then caused chaos in the Australian ranks straight from the restart and, for the first time in the game, made best use of an attacking platform inside the Wallaby half.
The lineout was secured and the ball spread across field to Neivua who came off his wing and was driven through three defenders and over the line by full-back Norman Liguiri.
Fiji introduced the big guns at half-time, with centre Seru Rabeni, scrum-half Moses Rauluni and lock Wame Lewaravu all sent on.
It was, nevertheless, a case of 'as you were' straight after the interval as Giteau extended the Wallabies lead with a penalty before Barnes landed a confident drop-goal.
Once again, though, Australia were less than impressive at the restart as Tuqiri allowed the ball to bounce and Fiji earned a scrum 15 metres out.
The new arrivals injected some urgency into the Fijian cause and they worked an excellent lineout, allowing Rauluni to burst through a gap and slip the scoring pass for Ratuva to score in the corner.
Rabeni then put a massive hit on Barnes and then denied Mitchell a simple try by getting his finger-tips to a well-weighted cross-field kick.
Giteau slotted a third penalty - much to the derision of the local fans - and the ubiquitous centre then showed a deft slight of hand to send Ashley-Cooper over for the Wallabies' fourth try.
Fiji continued to push forward and Neivua was just short of the line when the ball, again, went to ground.
And Australia counter-attacked in devastating fashion as Tuqiri broke clear and lofted a pass for Mitchell, who outstripped the Fijian defence to score under the posts.
Replacement Stephen Hoiles plunged over in the left corner to bring up the Wallabies' half-century of points after Julian Huxley had made the initial break by slicing through the Fijian defence.
And Mitchell, who had a great deal to prove after a mixed performance against Wales last week, completed his hat-trick with the final play of the game after being sent over by Ashley-Cooper.
