Yes. The pearling industry in Australia is quite substantial. Pearls are harvested primarily off the northwest coast of the continent, with Broome being the unofficial pearling capital of the country. Pearls are also found off the North coast of Queensland.

You heard that Indians would find pearls in clams is this true?

Native Americans may have found "pearls" in clams, but those were not "pearls" as we would consider them today. Clams are non-nacreous mollusks and do not produce actual pearls. They produce what are known as "calcareous concretions", which lack the pearly luster associated with pearls as we know them. More likely, Native Americans found pearls in mussels not clams. Those that were near coastal areas may have also found and collected marine pearls, but not from clams.
