At the moment there are 50 nodes in Australia with the fastest running at 357Kbs and only two exit nodes - fastest is 100Kbs. Its a reflection on the state of politics and the level of service that is provided by ISP's.
I feel this can be in part a reflection of Tor's particular bandwidth measurement method, as teor has mentioned in a previous reply.
And in any case, with Tor's overall architecture, does it really make sense to route e.g. EU clients exiting to EU destinations, via Tor circuits going through Australian nodes and back. I guess this is still an area open for further research and optimization.
