Cheap .au domains
If you'd like to register or renew an Australian domain name, Jumba has a 48-hour special offer of $29.95 for two years, which looks looked pretty good to us, until Stephen popped up in the comments with a $27.95 offer at Intaserve. Makes you wonder how Melbourne IT gets away with charging $140! They seem to have adopted the Big Pond business model.

You could head over to Intaserve and get them for $27.95

Note that Jumba don't appear to be an AUDA accredited registrar.

Beware - Intaserve registration form at todays date it is not a secure site. Following message was promptly recieved after I notified Intaserve, was impressed with service backup to this point.
"Actually you did the right thing.
This domain transfer page was upgraded a few days ago with new scripts, and
this may explain why it has not been secured as per our original form.
I need to notify the programmers to fix this but this can't be done till
morning."

I'm pretty sure that when I registered my .com.au domain it was secure (a day or 2 after this story was posted), but that was registering, not transferring.

I registered one new domain and transferred another. The response was very fast, and I've had no problems whatsoever.
