Australian laws generally differ by state rather than county, and we don't have as many differences, but yes.
(The big difference, as far as I know, is road rules. Also, Queensland has very strict laws about smoking in public places, whereas here in Victoria, I walk through a cloud of smoke to get to work every day.)
There are also a few towns and regions where alcohol is banned outright. As recently as the '80s, there was a whole suburb of Melbourne with no pubs. (They've made up for it since.)
Oh, and marijuana is legal for personal use in the Australian Capital Territory. Which makes for fun search warrant transcripts. "Yeah, we found a lot of stolen property and some cannabis. You can have that back, by the way."
