$1 rates show up at random times between 2pm and 4pm AEST. Yesterday's $1 rates were only available to those who subscribe to the newsletter. There is a link to this page on right of lastminute.com.au.
Most of the rates are for the next week or two. And only available for one night at a "secret" hotel.

They went in about 2-3 minutes. Same two hotels mentioned above, and another Melbourne one on 8th Oct 07, I think.
Maybe something extra will pop up in the next hour or two, maybe not.

Like every other $1 sale, the webservers get overloaded, to the point where getting the transaction to go through can be frustrating. I did manage to book two $1 hotels yesterday, but I suspect that it was because not as many people were hammering the site.
Ctrl+F5 / Ctrl+Refresh is your friend, when the servers go down.
lastminute.com.au is run by the same guys who run travel.com.au ...
See their customer support .

molasis also got a $4.85 rate, according to this post.
I've never seen anything AMAZING on wotif.com.au that you couldn't get on other sites, though. I think they're so popular because they were the first on the market.
These sort of sales that jetstar, tiger, etc do always overload the servers...

Yeah I did get a night at a recently refurbished Holiday Inn at Surfers Paradise. Wasn't difficult really. Kept refreshing the page, didn't try to go for the most popular property, got through first time. $180/night room for $4.85 is hard to argue with. Especially when they give you a nice upgrade because I have status with that chain.
