I named the F15AU simply because Boeing is doing this with all their export fighters.
A great debate about the latest F15 versus the F/A18F is here and worth reading.
Maybe if Boeing redesigns the F15, that is, gives it supercruise, far longer range, and a larger load (obviously would need to increase the aircraft size and also the wing proportion size to carry more fuel and fly further), Australia should opt for that instead of just 'dumping' our F111s. Dr Carlo Kopp's RFX idea is nice too, but I don't think Australia is willing to go the miles for a specific bomber like this, especially since the US economy isn't doing that well now.
Call it the F15LR Strike Bomber and ideally would have similar characteristics to the F111.
But I support buying the standard F15 (latest version) that is superior in all forms to the F/A18F Super Hornet. The F15 (apart from F22) is the true Air Superiority Fighter.
The F15SG here.
