Australian SIMs

On the basis that all knowledge is contained in fandom, does anyone know of a source for Australian PAYG SIMs with reasonable data rates? I'm looking for something like the Three PAYG deal in the UK, where each £5 topup gets you 150MB of data as well as £5 worth of calls and texts, but the key requirement is 100MB or more of data for less than AU$30. Bonus points if Micro SIMs are available so that I don't have to cut down a regular SIM for use in an iPhone 4. And, of course, non-Australians have to be able to get them.

I have turned on "track comments" on this entry, to save me making a similar post of my own.

We usually recommend Optus for people. However, looks like their 100MB SIM is AU$40. Plans here: http://personal.optus.com.au/web/ocaportal.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=Template_woRHS&FP=/personal/mobile/prepaidmobile/prepaid&site=personal&maincontent=recharge_offers&rechargeoffers=tab_recharge&prepaid_plan_details=prepaid_plan_1

If you're coming to Melbourne first, I'm happy to pick up a SIM for you and give it to you when you arrive.

That page just hung Opera for me.

Twice.

This is not researched at all but you might have a look at Internode
