What's the current going rate in Australia for supercomputer time?

Is ANU the only place to do it? Any private vendors?

How do rates vary? Minimum job sizes/run times?  

Are concessional resources available for ?civil/volunteering/community
uses?

Can anyone submit jobs or do I need permits/license or be associated with 
an organisation/corporation? Does my job have to be vetted?

I'm a licensed amateur radio operator wanting to do some modelling.
I'm too inexperienced in Linux to set up my own Beowulf cluster - if I
don't understand clusters yet, does that count me out by default?

Thanks in Advance,

Julian
