http://ftp.au.debian.org/ is the .au official one, but PlanetMirror (the guys
running it, thanks for that) have had some troubles with hardware and stuff,
so I sometimes use http://ftp.wa.au.debian.org/ instead.  

If you're an Internode customer, you can use
ftp://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/debian.  A few other providers also have
their own mirrors for their customers, but you'll have to find out from your
provider about that, and hassle them if it isn't up to snuff.
