Overseas debt chased through UK solicitor?

They are required to provide you proof of the debt, and that the debt is recoverable under UK law.
As the above say, this debt is from outside the UK, the EU even, as such they won't have any legal powers to recover any debt. Any payments you make will be volentary.
As to beign statute barred, it is upto them to prove it is not. Saying i don't think it is statute barred is insufficent.
If they were to attempt court action they would need to do it under UK law, bring proof of the debt and proof the debt is not statute barred.
The best they can do is a CCJ in Australia and wait for your return.
Give national debtline a call, i am sure they will agree that they cant do anything.Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.
