There is a bit of a preconception that you should buy .au domains from Australian companies (not unlike with hosting). Of course that's got a lot to do with the fact that you can't actually purchase them from many of the big US based registrars. But one of the world's biggest, Go Daddy, certainly now offers them.
I just bought one there earlier today, actually. I've got several domains with them. So I like to keep everything in the one place. I've also found them really reliable, with prompt and thorough customer service. The price was low, too. I bought a .com.au domain for two years for around 23 bucks. That's not bad considering some local ones charge quite a bit more than that. (That said, Netregistry, which has a good reputation, does sell them for about the same price.)
I don't want to sound unpatriotic, but I have heard some bad reports about a couple of local domain registrars. Technical issues, mostly. So I figure it's better to go with a massive and proven international company.
