Figures aren't quite accurate. Apart from this week when there is no 1/2 NL running due to the Pokernews Cup, usually there is:
~10 tables of 1/2 NL 60-80 buyin
5-10 tables of 2/3 NL 100-200 buy-in
also, 2/5 NL 200-500 buy-in, 5/10 Limit, 10/20 Limit, as well as other specialty games (pdf).

Melbourne is infinitely better - change your plans and move there.

When you say low, how low do you mean? There is a place that has $10, $20, $30, $50 and $100 SNG's.

Check out fullbluff dot com dot au for more details.

Sky City has improved hugely recently. Thurs night they run a 500min 1000max nl game, there is typically 3-5 1/2 nl and 2 or 3 2/5 nl, capped at 100 and 200 respectively. A PLO game runs as well quite often, so while it aint Vegas, there is a lot more variety than previously -(I asume the "big" game runs on the weekend too). No limit games run that I have seen recently. Games are still insanely loose.

Sadly the rake is still like being bent over and pounded up teh ass with a pointed stick.
