Mike, A bit late I know, but have you looked at Domain Host in Melbourne? http://www.domainhost.com.au - their web site is a little bit dodgy but their prices are by far the best I've seen in Australia, and their support has been top notch. I have several clients with CF5, SQL Server, Live Stats, all the usual guff for AUD $77 per month - and that's their most expensive account. They have co-lo and dedicated boxes etc, and were willing to install the Camtech online payment server for us for no extra charge. After all the crap I've had from Australian ColdFusion hosts they are a ray of sunshine.
K. PS. After reading all that, I sound like I'm getting something out of recommending them. I'm not. But if you do talk to them, tell them Kay from PerthWeb recommended you - maybe it will work!
