Ellyse Perry has recaptured her best form with a commanding, all-round display to power Australia to a five-wicket one-day international win against England.
Australia had already retained the Women's Ashes, but Sunday's win at Melbourne's Junction Oval secured a series victory.
Perry did it with bat and ball, with the hosts hitting the winning runs with 90 balls to spare.
The player of the match ripped through England's top order by taking 3-12 after Australia captain Meg Lanning won the toss and opted to field first.
The tourists were on the back foot immediately as Australian wicketkeeper Alyssa Healy claimed a screamer of a catch off Perry's bowling to dismiss Tammy Beaumont for the opening wicket.
England was eventually all out for a paltry total of 129 in the 46th over.
After leading the way with the ball, Perry hit an accomplished 40 — her best ODI score in almost a year — to top score for Australia.
Perry was run out while going for a quick single 30 runs short of the target, before Ashleigh Gardner (31 not out) and Annabel Sutherland completed the victory at the end of the 35th over.
England is yet to claim a win over Australia in the multi-formatted series.
Even without quick Darcie Brown, who skittled England with figures of 4-34 in the first ODI three days ago, Australia's bowlers always had the upper hand.
As well as being without Brown, Australia rested wounded hero Beth Mooney after a rollercoaster series for the star batter.
She suffered a broken jaw on the eve of the one-off Test, but still managed to play a crucial role in that drawn thriller in Canberra.
Mooney scored a match-winning 73 in Thursday's first ODI, which secured the Ashes for Australia, but left the field early after experiencing quadricep tightness.
Nicola Carey and Annabel Sutherland were brought back into the team to replace Mooney and Brown.
Spinner Alana King picked up her maiden ODI wicket, adding to the debut dismissals she claimed in the Twenty20 and Test arenas in the past three weeks.
Already on the ropes at 7-107, England was further brought undone when Tahlia McGrath took 2-1 in her first over.
McGrath claimed the last three wickets of the innings to grab 3-4 from 3.2 overs.
Tailender Sophie Ecclestone was England's top scorer with a gritty unbeaten 32, while captain Heather Knight battled hard for 18 before losing her wicket to spinner Jess Jonassen.
Australia has been near untouchable in the 50-over format for the past three years, winning a world record 26 straight matches before India finally ended that run last September.
The Women's Ashes series will wrap up in Melbourne on Tuesday with the third and final ODI.
Australia will be warm favourites in the ODI World Cup in New Zealand, starting on March 4.
