I had a good look last night, and there's not a lot of options.

Gogo6 no longer has a Sydney PoP.  Aarnet's 
tunnel broker is still running, but finding a 
compatible client is tough these days (the 
current gogoc does not work with it).  There is 
an Australian provider (IPv6 Now), but you either 
have to put up with a no frills free tunnel 
(dynamic IPv6), or pay from $20/month (at least you get a SLA).

The practical options for those of us in .au seem to be:

1.  Internode (by far the best option, as you get 
reliable native IPv6 and reverse DNS delegation).
2.  Aarnet (if you can find the right tspc version, no reverse DNS).
3.  IPV6 Now (free version has dynamic IPv6 and no rDNS delegation).
4.  SixXS (nearest PoP is in New Caledonia, which 
doesn't have too severe latency).

Anything else has severe latency, due to distance 
from PoPs.  It's a pity Hurricane Electric 
(he.net) don't have a PoP in .au, as their tunnel 
broker is rock solid.  I use them to provide IPv6 
for a VPS in the US, and the latency over IPv6 
from here is actually less than IPv4.
