A selection of ABC news stories in brief, on the Telstra portal - the link in the footer goes to Telstra's home, but you won't get far if you're not with Telstra.
Weather Underground's global weather service. Type 'City Country' for an incredibly detailed report and 7 day forecast (but i do question the reliability..?).

WeatherZone
WeatherZone has a better quality local weather report, but it is not available as an off-net mobile site. If you're a weather freak, you can visit Weatherzone.com.au on your PC & use RSS to set up a feed using fdm8.com
