112 is the emergency number to use in Australia now-- all carriers _have_ to route the calls from anyone, any phone, anywhere. You don't even need a SIM.
"000" is only guaranteed for the same carrier the phone is listed with.

Seriously, there's a thousand and one Australian bushwalking and outback travel websites: bushwalkers, 4WD, caravan, Grey Nomads, Duke of Ed, Scouts, etc., and they've got experience with the country that's over a hundred years. There's no need to listen to a Seppo.
