Just to be pedantic, it's not a Visa, it's an ETA (Electronic Travel Authority).

No, that's just the ETA fee. The fees for a foreigner (or even an Australian!) to enter/exit the country are some of the most expensive in the world, at over $100 per entry/exit pair. Plus additional if you do require a Visa.
