Nothing more to it than there happens to be a lot of great bands from Australia. Are you from Australia ? If you are, and know any members of those bands tell them to get their asses up here and have a concert for us. :w00t: Especially Virgin Black and Psycroptic (they were here not so long ago btw, great concert).
And please name your obscurities. I want to hear them !

Firstly yes, im Australian born and bred, although im not a "Native Australian". Second its great to hear that you think so, so many people when asked what Aussie metal they like reply : ACDC, which is fair enough i suppose haha, but not particularly hard to not have heard. :P I cant really think of too many Aussie acts that
wouldnt like to go to Norway to do some shows!
I wasnt aware that Psycroptic or Virgin Black had visited you guys, but its cool to hear they had. I wonder how was the response/turnout? Because as you know it costs more than a few shiny gold pieces to trek to Norway. I do know a number of promoters here in W.A as well as in the eastern and southern states so if you know of many bands that might 'pull' well there then give them a mention and ill see what the promoters and bands think if i know them. I have personal contact with a few of the bands i suppose, but the rest is through no more than mere emails which of course anyone can find should they look.
Some personal favourites from my homeland would be : Abyssic Hate, Impact Winter, Darklord, Nazxul, Portal, Hated By Humanity, Destroyer666, Pestilential Shadows, Lord Kaos (r.i.p/defunct) Disembowelment, Avrigus.. i could go on and on, but this is a short list of ones that i thouroughly enjoy.
World wide.. aside from more 'known' acts like Immortal or Dissection (farwell Jon N) i llisten to stuff like Behexen, Sargeist, Velvet Cacoon, Blut Aus Nord, Deathspell Omega etc.. i figured id just name again, some of the more well known 'obscure' bands.. though there are more than a handful of artists i know of that would rather themselves not to be named publicly. Wishes which i respect.
Maybe sometime in the future ill even drag one of my bands up to nice sunny Norway
