April Fool on .com.au from Google

On Friday Google had an additional prank in store for the Australian .com.au websites. It dropped them from the index. Every last one.
In the fastest rollback ever AFAIK, around 5pm-ish the .com.au domains started to appear for most searches.
Lets just say things were interesting in SEO-land.
I hope it doesn't end up affecting getting through my workload by the 15th. It's the last day at $oldwork (and the end of my brief SEO career, hopefully.) I can't say I was comfortable with the marketing aspects, though those aren't my only reasons for moving on.
