It's like, slightly better than it used to be. But let me take this opportunity to evangelize for Ninefold. http://ninefold.com
Ninefold is, from my experience, everything you'd ever want from Heroku and much more (which in turn means much less). Far more simple UI and implementation, and extremely passionate and responsive dev team.
Please try out Ninefold if you've ever said "fuck you Heroku" like I have so many times.

Correction:
The mirror is setup to still use the .org url and it will find the local mirror itself.
rubygems.org.au is INCORRECT and does not resolve.
In other words you need make no change to your Gemfile to use the new Australian mirror.
