That's my fault (in a sense) - I've been unable to convince myself
that brisnet.org.au belongs as an org.au domain, so I haven't
registered it.   You can probably get there if you explicitly route
via bunyip.cc.uq.oz.au

While I'm here, the problem ...

This is one of a group of similar domains, which is really a placeholder
for personal (home) systems, which is something not currently covered
in our naming scheme, and which should be.   I don't think that
inventing "organisations" and registering them in org.au is the way
to go.

I have no great idea on what is though - with the obvious caveat that
it should be something distributed (e: all the home systems in Aust
shouln't get lumped into one domain) and which allows for more and
more separation of responsibility as the demand grows.

I'm not much enamoured of geographic domains (as name.town.state.us)
especially in that rigid format, but nor am I sure what else is
better, perhaps just "a.priv.au" or something, where "a" is just
a random letter of the alphabet chosen just to divide up the
domains into groups (could be multi letter eventually, or even
immediately if there's a reason).

Suggestions welcome.
