You can also use 6to4 addressing to reach the rest of the IPv6-speaking
world if you don't want to mess with configured tunnels. Although there
might not be a 6to4 relay in Australia yet, which would cause a big dogleg
when speaking to nearby nodes that are only on the 6bone and don't have
their own 6to4 gateway yet.
