One year ago we were trying the same in the Asia region with DigitalOcean. We did not get a lot of traffic because of the few tor relays / bandwidth authorities in Asia. At the moment your best chance in helping Tor with bandwidth is buying a server in Europe or parts of the USA. If you have really good patience try your style in DownUnder or any near Asia country. Japan has a lot of cheap servers and is near you, at least its nearer than Germany where I am sitting :)

PS: Congratulations on beating the USA with DataCaps and ridiculous DSL prices :/

OVH has this in AU

5.9 For security reasons, OVH reserves the right to proceed with the immediate suspension without notice, of any Server on which there is a public service Proxy, IRC, VPN or TOR which is available free of charge or for a fee, and for which OVH has knowledge of its fraudulent or illegal misuse.

with Tor's overall architecture, does it really make sense to route e.g. EU clients exiting to EU destinations,

True - Wanted to add to the diversity in location and OS.

Will look at other jurisdictions for better service... Still looking but so far all have data caps.

I really want a decent exit node here in AU but getting perplexed.

I'll sleep on it...
