assume so, think deli's and newsagents, coles ect sell em down here. buy a $30 card and ya get some free credit if you choose the right option, like plus pack or talk text, listen to them (the plans) because if you get the wrong one and go to use data or talk to someone to long credit is gone in minutes. (i know this because choose the data plan and went to watch some adult movies while working away and got less than 2 mins for $30) so data plan doesnt actually mean data plan. hope this helps.
Stayed at the lighthouse only Telstra worked there
I had vodaphone on my phone, no reception in the park worked fine in town. Ttelstra internet could only get 2 bars reception in the park but that worked ok just a bit slow
but not north or west out of town (lighthouse caravan park, national park, Samsung phone), our telstra iphone appeared to work all over, weird thing is our telstra prepaid motorola only worked in town. Can get good telstra reception at the lighthouse as previously mentioned.

Pretty sure optus works up there, vodafone doesnt, telstra prepaid may be your safest bet.

Optus works in town when we were there at easter
but not north or west out of town (lighthouse caravan park, national park, Samsung phone), our telstra iphone appeared to work all over, weird thing is our telstra prepaid motorola only worked in town. Can get good telstra reception at the lighthouse as previously mentioned.
