Used them for several years (with several domains) excellent. Cheap,
reliable & mail re-routing included.

I've been using http://www.namescout.com.au/ for a few years. They used to
be the cheapest (currently $45.95 for two years and note that they don't
charge GST as they are overseas). Their service has been trouble free with
no problems managing my domains.
I did notice recently when I registered a new domain that their are a few
cheaper .auDA Accredited Registrars as shown by the Domain Name Price
Comparison site.

I elected to go with NameScout again for the new domain as it's convenient
to manage my domains at the one site.

That site hasn't been updated since July 2006; but, disregarding that,
is there any rational explanation for the huge range of prices
charged by the retail registrars? (And the resellers come to that, but
it's not so extreme in that case.)

True there are a 2 or 3 registrants missing but the price of those listed
seem to be accurate

I don't know. I do remember that when I first registered an au domain,
Melbourne IT held a monopoly and they were quite strict with their
requirements.
Back in 2001 they charged $140.00 for two years the same amount that they
charge now.
Perhaps they rely on people renewing and not bothering to change registrars
because they don't know you can get it cheaper. Or maybe the $100 difference
over two years seems inconsequential relative to other expenditures.
Some history about MelbourneIT at the Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melbourne_IT
As far as the other companies go I have no idea if by paying more you get
better value for money. All I know is that the company I use has been easy
to deal with and reliable.

I seem to recall that a decade or two ago a bloke called Robert(?) Elz
was *the* Mr Internet in Oz (largely just AARNET originally). (I
always seemed to get him confused in my mind with "Rev Doc" Phil
Herring for some reason.) Elz later handed things over to Melbourne
IT -- he may have had a gun at his head at the time though. :-)

What do you get from them other than just domain name rego?
(I'm a novice in this stuff, but a paranoid mate has been hinting to
me to organise a web site for his large database of stuff -- the
bugger is so paranoid about malware damaging his system that he
refuses to connect his own gear!)
