The current "crop" of ales in Australia tend to use POR as their base hop then finish with some aromatic ones.
I've recently made a fair copy of James Squires "I50 Lashes" Aussie Pale Ale. It's a fairly mild but easy drinking, slightly hazy ale. Becoming quite popular in the pubs.

Assuming you have POR pellets, the latest batches tend to be a little more bitter than the old style POR, I'd only use 30g absolute max.
