Australia has pretty much standardised on 145.175 now.

Australia has historically avoided using 100Hz because of its second 
harmonic relationship with our mains electricity supply.

123Hz is commonly used for voice repeaters.

However I have been told this is a voice repeater tone used especially for  IRLP and EchoLink systems.  [http://www.russellcoarc.org/aprs.htm  ]
