Internet access in Australia

[Guest stemill]

Help!!

I'm due to fly out to Australia for a 3 week holiday on Saturday.

I had planned to purchase a PAYG (or prepaid as they call it) SIM and use it in my unlocked

Vario II to keep in touch with family/friends via email and also update an

online travel blog. Unfortunately I have just discovered that none of the

Australian cell networks appear to offer full internet access on PAYG.

Anyone know if this is the case, and more importantly anyone know of a way I can get full internet access whilst out there without having to pay t-mobile £7.50 per MB for roaming data (i only pay that a month for unlimited access at home!)
