At least from your last dialup IP, it appears to pass through WAIX
thanks to Comindico:

 3. gi0-1-9.perth.westnet.com.au           
 4. comindico.ix.waia.asn.au               <-- ix.waia indicates waix
 5. ser6-0.wsr01-ross-glb.comindico.com    
 6. f0-1-1.syd005.pacific.net.au           
 7. FastEthernet1-0-2.syd001.pacific.ne    
 8. g0-1-600.syd006.pacific.net.au         

The route from your end back to WAIX may well differ, but the
routing table that Senectus will be using will probably be more
closely linked with outbound routes from WAIX (as obtained in the
above traceroute Perth -> Sydney).
