Australia IB Landscape - Reputations & Specialties

What is each bulge-bracket IB in Australia good at/bad at/known for? Please break this down both in terms of the traditional investment banking and the S&T&R spaces. (I.e. what industry coverages and financial products each bank is 'strong' at)

Which ones have different/better cultures to others? Are some said to have more students from certain universities/backgrounds? Is there any BBIB that is 'more/less fun' to work at than others?

It would be great to hear the opinions of both experienced professionals and current/recent summer analysts (all divisions) on this matter.

Thx.
