I've found ozbargain a great source for plans. I'm now on a 365 day 300 GB Optus plan for what will effectively be $70 ($220 + $150 gift card). Looks like there are a few good options at the moment with Boost, Optus and Vodafone or if you're not in a rush you can keep an eye out.

The Earthset picture from Artemis II features Australia front and centre. No other location on Earth is readily identifiable. We're famous!
