Fascinating...this is what traceroute told me:

To ramin.com.au there were 9 hops from my Kogan from both 
Perth (Friday morning) and Sydney (Saturday afternoon).

Some of the hops, from Perth, had less latency but were of 
the same order, while a couple were of the order of three 
times the equivalent hop from Sydney.

Total 3534.39ms (Syd)		4738.39ms (Perth)
----------------------------------------------------------

To another site, which I would guess would be hosted in 
Sydney, and whose performance seemed particularly poor, 
there were still 9 hops though the difference in magnitude 
was only double for the biggest discrepancies. (seems the 
performance problems may have been with the server)

Total 2444.28ms (Syd)		2520.35ms (Perth)
------------------------------------------------------------

And most amazing of all to a European Site:
21 hops 16263.72ms (from Syd)	
11 hops 13582.83ms (from Perth)
