IPv6 connectivity - how to get it?

Does anyone just happen to knwo how you get connected
to the IPv6 network?

Is this something that ISPs in general offer?
I can't immediately see whether Bigpond offers this sort of thing.
But I imagine that there must be one of more ISPs
offering this sort of thing in Adelaide.

While browsing through the brand-new iproute2 software,
I noticed that they have 3 protocols for IPv6 connectivity:
IP-in-IP, sixbone and GRE.
It looks like I just need to find someone else who is on some sort
of IPv6 backbone, and connect through them.
But I suppose they'll be wanting money for this.

And another question:
Is there anything out there in the IPv6 world which is worth
connecting to?
I can't imagine that a lot of web-sites offer stuff exclusively
on IPv6, unless it's experimental.
But I gather than BIND and Apache are IPv6-cognizant already.

And yet another question:
Are the sixbone and GRE backbones disjoint or connected?

Cheers,
Alan Kennington.
