Between Melbourne and Echuca where I couldn't get any Vodafone coverage, I 
found that Telstra (2G/3G) and Optus (2G) were generally available in most 
places.  There were some places where only Telstra was available.  However, 
across the border in NSW, there were some places where only Optus was 
available.

If I had a 900 Mhz 3G handset, perhaps the Optus coverage would have been 
even better for me.  But then I may have had better Vodafone coverage, who 
knows.

Years ago I went from melbourne to Echuca and had prety good coverage with 
Telstra, and that was with a GSM only phone.
