You can browse the mirrors with firefox or any other web browser and
download the package manually. In centos 4.4, yumconf is provided by
centos-release.

>From here in the US I can manually point yum to the .au mirrors and
get a response. Are you sure there isn't something else causing your
issue? Broken firewall, bad proxy, bad network config etc?
