Yeah it sounds like a good idea but I don't know how useful it will
actually be. Unfortunately it was someone else's idea, I just happened
to implement the "download the whole Ubuntu repository and set up a
cron job to rsync every day" part of it.

Unfortunately it seems to be non-trivial:

There also appears to be a package called Debarchiver:

I think that mostly what they do is generate the package archive
indexes, so that the archives can be used as a software source.
I shall have play with it tonight.
With a bit of iptables magic you should be able to redirect requests to
the Australian mirrors to a local server running nginx which can serve
files from a cloned mirror. Internode supports rsync.
A simpler alternative is to redirect all outbound port 80 traffic via
squid using iptables.
