I take my info from the TV Series and book "The Pacific", which showed the Marines in Australia both before and after Guadalcanal - but that may have been only one regiment.
Remember that "The Pacific" followed the stories of three characters and had input from several different novels. It wouldn't be hard to lose track of who was in which unit and where....
The First Regiment of the 1st Marine Division were quartered at Camp Murphy [Melbourne Cricket Ground] for several months in early to mid-1943.
