Both ns.childdreams.com.au and ns1.telstra.net seem fine to me when looking
up the childdreams.com.au domain.  It looks like you've removed the MX
record since posting this, but I don't see anything in the MX record below
that would have caused problems.

Maybe you had some non-printing characters in your file.  Did you edit it
on a PC and transfer it to Unix?  If you don't do the transfer in ASCII
mode, the PC's CRLF sequences will screw you.
