you can also use the 6to4 method which uses a generic encapsulation method and 
routes to the nearest 6to4 router via ipv4 anycast. Pipenetworks and a few 
other AU ISPs run these gateways. 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6to4

it's also mostly trivial to set up in Linux, esp Debian based ones:

http://wiki.debian.org/DebianIPv6#IPv6_6to4_Configuration

Before I had native v6, this was my preferred method. Latency, reliability and 
setup is much better than userspace driven tunnels. It will give a static 
subnet if your v4 address is also static. However there is no mechanism for 
ip6.in-addr.arpa delegation.
