James Pattinson took 5-27 as Australia beat the West Indies by an innings and 212 runs in the first Test in Hobart.
Australia wrapped up the victory in three days after dismissing the tourists for 148 in the second innings.
Playing his first Test for 18 months, the Pattinson ran through the fragile Windies top order to secure his fourth five-wicket haul in Test cricket.
Kraigg Brathwaite was the only visiting batsman to show any resistance at the Bellerive Oval with a patient 94.
Australia take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series, and could return to the top of the ICC Test rankings if they complete a 3-0 series win with victories in Melbourne and Sydney.
