Cheap Australia-based static site hosting (aussie.zone)

What are my best options for hosting a static site on Australian servers?

Previously I was using a normal web hosting service but they don't work very well with static site generators and are usually overpriced for what I want.

Ideally I'd like a service like Cloudflare pages or GitHub pages, etc., i.e. there is good integration with git as my site is generated using Hugo.

Depends why you want to be located in Australia

If you are worried about data sovereignty, I'm not aware of any services that are based in Australia but aren't US or EU owned
If you are more concerned about latency/TTFB, CloudFlare has several POPs in Australia so pages should be just as fast as anywhere else
If you are willing to roll your own with AWS, you could set up a GitHub actions job to upload to an S3 bucket (which you can locate in ap-southeast) then serve it out of Cloudfront (AWSs edge cache service). Unless you are doing a ton of traffic it'd probably be within the free tier limit as well
