Hello,
Needing help as my CBR LAN is unable to ping my AUS DMZ, I notice the ASA Firewall can ping the DMZ but it can't ping the LAN. I'm not finished with my network so in the VLSM table I provide many things that are not included in the packet tracer file. SYD and MELB should be able to ping the DMZ in Canberra, but should not be able to ping any LANs.

Hi @Shuffle
I have focused on to fix the problem "Needing help as my CBR LAN is unable to ping my AUS DMZ". I did not look anything else.
About the problem "Needing help as my CBR LAN is unable to ping my AUS DMZ" it was related to the DHCP server on the ASA.
It seems the ASA was acting weird with DHCP server enable and not replying ping end not pinging anything.
I came up with a different topology as you can see on the file attached. I added a DHCP server and a Router on the LAN. The reason if to let the ASA do what Firewall is suppose to do: Filter. And the router is responsible to routing. I also braek up your departments in different Vlans with different network segment and which department get its own IP range.
Take a look on the file.
