Not many about, IMHO. I think people tend to have the mentality of "support Aussie rock" because it's home-grown, not because it's necessarily any good or any different.

There were many great bands around in the1980s, but lately the derivative nature of a lot of Aussie bands has put me off in a big way.

Screaming Jets were good, but they are no longer around, AC/DC haven't been Australian in any way since they moved overseas 25 years ago and the less I say about Powderfinger and Something For Kate, the better. :D
 
Here are some great Aussie bands:
Regurgitator
Lazy Suzan - (Along with Regurgitator the only decent oz band at present)

Older Bands
AC/DC
Ice House
Boom Crash Opera
1927
 
Current Aussie bands I love are:

the Naked Eye (plug, plug, plug), the Celibate Rifles, the Mystaken, Hands of Time, Dern Rutledge, Dung, Cosmic Psychos,

All time Aussie Bands: the Saints (early stuff), Radio Birdman, New Christs, the Scientists (reforming soon!), AC/DC, Rose Tattoo, Coloured Balls, the Chosen Few, the Easybeats, the Master's Apprentices, the Missing Links, the Loved Ones, the Sunnyboys (especially their first album) and probably my favourite all time Aussie band: The Eastern Dark

A killer Aussie band, God knows why Timothy Adrian Rodgers doesn't play at the Grand Final? He played second fiddle the Footy Show!! Others I loved .......... Aussie Crawl!!
 
The Fauves and You Am I both RAWK and, coincidentally, they love footy.

Coxy from the Fauves is a Melbourne Dees tragic and I once spent a drunken evening with Rusty Hopkinson from You Am I reliving the splendour that was the East Freo 79 derby team.

Australian live acts knock spots off Pommy contenders. The dullards from Oasis were gobsmacked by the rocking genius that is Rusty Hopkinson, declaring him "the best fookin drummer EVER". Which he may very well be...
 
v.spy.v.spy, The Divinyls and The Falling Joys.

Of the current bands, Henry's Anger and.....

I was at a Fauves concert the night of the Dees vs Roos Prelim final back in '98. They played half a set before Coxy found out that the Dees lost the game. After that he didn't give a toss about the rest of the concert, even when he lost sound out of the mike. Quite a funny night really.

Rusty,

I have been waiting for The Human Jukebox to come out on CD since last October. I have just found out today that Kim Salmon & the Scientists are touring again!! I've already got my tickets for the Adelaide show! never thought I'd see it happen.
