Australia took seven wickets before lunch on the final day to seal victory against New Zealand in the first Test of a three-match series.
The Black Caps, having been set a world record 504 to win, resumed on 142-3 and their challenge quickly folded.
Brendon McCullum hit a run-a-ball 80 but the Kiwis were all out for 295.
Spinner Nathan Lyon took 3-63 in the second innings, while Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Marsh claimed two wickets apiece.
Australia's first innings 556-4 declared set them up for the victory and opener David Warner was named man of the match for his scores of 163 and 116.
"I thought the first morning really set the tone for us with Joe Burns and Davy Warner batting so well," Australia captain Steve Smith said.
"I thought the top order set the test match up for us. The partnerships that we had in that top three were crucial to our success."
