Those crazy Aussies..... where to start?

Ghostwoodlands is relatively solid too.

I can understand your claim if you're referring to his very early work; the production is almost unbearable. I can tolerate bad quality if it's used in a style like Paysage d'Hiver is, but his early work is ridiculously lo-fi.
 
I try and get as much local stuff as i can... i have a fuckload of CDs...here are some kick ass bands;

I highly recommend Alchemist if you're looking for something different.
