Hosting is not exactly value for money in Aus so you'd be better using someone in the UK such as oneandone, unless you get enough space for your requirements from your Aussie ISP of course.
If you'll be using broadband then IInet has just launched some very fast plans, providing you are on the correct exchange.
Good luck!

Westnet and IInet come highly recommended.
We used Westnet for dial-up but switched to http://www.tpg.com.au/ for broadband due to the huge price differential. TPG were AUD 40 per month cheaper than anyone else we found and so far the service has been very good.
