SEO in Australia – some questions

I’m promoting a site in Australia and could use some help with how things work there in the SEO community. For instance:

• Good local SEO forums
• Directories worth getting listed on
• Link exchange communities
• Any other relevant information

I’ll start this thread by sharing the list of local directories I’ve managed to find so far. Some free and some paid:
