I'm assuming you're using a laptop then.  If it takes the mini-PCI 
cards, there are internal HDSPA (3G) cards.  Otherwise the little USB 
ones.  I've heard they work okay, but never used one.

As has been said, once you roam out of capital cities you're on Telstra 
at bend-over-and-take-me rates.  You might be better going with Telstra 
direct on their NextG.  It does get longer distance.

If all you want is email, there are packet radio options on HF radio.  
Not gonna be watching any YouTube though.
