You won't find better prices by shopping around - the cheapest price will be the airline website self, avoiding Webjet's booking fee - although that may be less than the outrageous $7.70 per passenger that Qantas charge for credit payments (you can always BPAY).

Webjet probably provides the best layout for comparing flights.

Check out Virginblue - I have found some randomly very cheap fares recently, not advertised either. For example they were advertising Mel to Sydney for $69 as a sale fare, but on the site there were flights for $49 - on a Friday evening as well!

And to get the best fare if you've got a Flight Centre locally to you print the internet price out and take it in store and with their price match promise they will usually knock another $5 of for a domestic flight.

Read the blog too.

I'm not sure how frequently adioso updates its fares, but it does catch some discounted fares before they are advertised by the airlines.

Try virgin blue or jet star (Qantas owned budget airline).

You get cheaper tickets by booking online in advance.
