Australia have finished fourth on the medal tally with 18 golds.
What is Australia's best Olympic medal tally?
By golds, Australia's previous best-ever hauls at the Olympics came at Athens 2004 and Tokyo 2020, where Aussie athletes brought home 17 gold medals.
That makes the 18-medal haul in Paris a historic showing.
The home Games have also proved fruitful over the years, with Australia picking up 16 golds in Sydney and 13 in Melbourne in 1956.
Beijing too was a productive couple of weeks, with 14 gold medals coming back to Australia.
The best overall medal tally came from Sydney as well, in which Australians collected 16 golds, 25 silvers and 17 bronzes for a total of 58.
In terms of ranking, Australia finished third on the medal tally in Melbourne, with a fourth place in Sydney and Athens the next-best performances.
However, comparing tallies historically is made more difficult as the Olympics have expanded and more medals have been on offer.
In Melbourne, Australia won an impressive 8.5 per cent of the 153 gold medals available, with Athens (5.65 per cent), Sydney (5.33 per cent) and Tokyo (5 per cent) the next best results.
If Australia were to match their efforts in Melbourne in the Paris Olympics set-up – which saw 329 gold medals go on the line – they would've needed to pick up 28 gold medals.
