Quite right- I was a big fan of Aussie shiraz when, believe it or not, they were unfashionable, and cheap. Those were the days - but I said even then that the rest of the world would catch on eventually, which they did with a vengeance.

Theres little of outstanding value now, comparitively speaking, but I'd say grenache varietals and good blends (especially those grown on old, gnarled Barossa vines) are a pretty good bet.
