The Albury export was the star performer, claiming two wins, a second and a third in the four six-lap races to be crowned the best individual performer.
He won the Ken Wootton Trophy with his 157-point haul on Sunday, the day before his 26th birthday.
Australia successfully defended the International Challenge, winning the three-nation battle for historic bikes with 704 points ahead of rivals USA (691 points) and the UK (423 points).
The son of multiple Australian champion, Robbie Phillis, was thrilled with his individual Ken Wootton Trophy win, as well as the national victory.

"It's a huge privilege to win it. I remember Ken at the track from when I was running around as a four-year-old, he would always be there. It's crazy to come away with something like this," Phillis said.
"I've been to this event every single year since 2006 since dad was riding.
"I've only ridden three times and every year we've had a chance at the overall, and last year we came close with third, but honestly I wanted it really bad and it showed in my riding. It's awesome to come here and win such a prize."
Victory in race three on Saturday seemed unlikely for Phillis after a lousy start saw him slip to sixth by the end of the first lap.
Despite gearbox problems and some light rain mid-race, Phillis slowly ticked off the riders ahead and by the end of lap three he was in a battle with Melbourne's Jed Metcher at the front, with American Josh Hayes in close pursuit.
However, Phillis had the top speed advantage and took the lead to head the final laps to the flag and cross .077 seconds in front of Metcher and seize 40 points for the Australians.
"We got a false neutral off the start and our gearbox isn't too bad, but half the race I was jumping out of gear out of turn four and we struggled a bit," Phillis said.
"But to have the guys in front.... it sort of put a target on their back and gave me the edge I needed to find the pace fast and early in the race.
"So we came from far back. If you want to win, you've got to have the motivation to get there."
Phillis struggled with gearbox issues in the final race, but managed to hold on for third position as Hayes took the chequered flag.
The podium result was enough to see him claim overall honours from Metcher by just two points.
