Can you provide either the access log or activity capture from the client browser, showing what redirects are occurring in the loop? — Shane Madden, Sep 09 '13 at 04:49

Try adding ...

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} != http://www.mydomain.com.au/index.html

... before ...

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com.au/index.html [R=301,L]
