A tip-off has led to more than 250kg of cocaine being discovered in a single shipping container.
Five bags wrapped in black plastic were located inside the container carrying the drugs with an estimated street value of more than $80 million.
The bust was made after a recent sea cargo screening operation in Brisbane.
Australian Border Force x-rayed the container after receiving a tip-off on May 27 with five bags of a white substance found on top of pallets of packing products.
The major seizure had prevented significant community harm, ABF Commander Troy Sokoloff said
"To those criminal syndicates who mistakenly believe they can infiltrate our borders with illicit drugs, let this serve as a powerful warning - the ABF, in close collaboration with the AFP, have eyes and ears everywhere," he said.
The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers.
"The people behind these crimes have no regard for the harm and damage that illicit drugs wreak on the Australian community every minute of every day," AFP Detective Superintendent Adrian Telfer said.
"There are people who will have information that can assist this investigation and we urge them to come forward.
"The smallest clue could be all it takes to help police identify those involved in this failed plot."
