my phone is a nokia, and is network locked by vodafone , i bought it in ireland , will it work with vodafone in australia??

i think that one couldn't be use in AU, better buy cheap phone in AU(also network lock) and use it.

i believe most operators give free handsets as a package. but u can get the current one unlocked.

Best advice is get your phone unlocked and when u arrive go into a vodafone shop and get a prepaid card,so you can top(as Aussies say recharge)when u want,u will not get bill a/c until u have credit history or a job.
When are you travelling?

This may depend on your main location.

Some areas have problems with some providers.

Telstra does seem to have the best coverage, although many people have renamed them 'Helstra'.
