Data plans for Australia
What do people recommend for a data plans visiting Australia for 2-3 weeks? Is Australia like Europe where prepaid SIM cards with data plans can be had for the price of the plan without a big activation charge or signing up for a long-term plan? Are the "travel SIMs" a ripoff or a good deal? Are either available as eSIMs?

Prepaid SIM (Data or Voice) - Australia Open the wiki

To activate an Australian phone-SIM card a 100 point identity check is needed. It is not always asked for. There is a post where a FT’er had trouble doing this. Link---> Post 111
The airport booth guys or a phone shop will be able to activate a SIM card. Ask before you buy.

The threads above are old, pricing and features will have changed.
You can sign up to phone-sim plan for 28/30 days. Cheaper than 3 x 7 days. Many options
