I don't know much about the Australia Galaxias species but
as far as I know none of the NZ ones exhibit any annual type
behaviour.

There are several Galaxias species in NZ including G. maculatus
(which occurs in Australia and somewhere like Chile).

Have a look at:

http://www.nzfreshwater.f2s.com/index_main.html 

for info on some of the NZ FW fauna.

http://www.nativefish.asn.au/          

to learn something about various Australian species.

Later,
