Waterproof/rugged SIM-free phone from amazon.co.uk.
Might be good for those chasing a 'tough' phone with front and rear cameras for a budget. No 20% VAT to pay on Amazon.co.uk for Australians, so adding this to your cart results in a total cost of 61.97 pounds including delivery costs. That converts to around $90.41 Australian dollars.
It's safe to say you can score this for little more than that. Might be a fine gift for the active sporty types (or careless butterfingers) in the household?

Excuse my ignorance, but by sim free, does it mean carrier unlocked? For some reason my mind reverted to the Orange days.
