Much of the Austrailian less-than-standardard gauge stock don't look
small to me either.

It's isn't. Queensland narrow gauge (passenger) rolling stock is
generally too wide to to run in Standard gauge NSW. (Assuming a bogie
exchange :-)
Sydney suburban stock is too wide to run in country NSW - suburban stock
is 'medium' or 'wide' and can't leave the city.

Broad gauge Victoria rolling stock is narrower than Sydney 'medium'.

Track width is no indication of the width of the rolling stock carbody.
