 So if your "local" cache can't get it then it must go to the cache
 that can... (no if-buts-or mybes...) well since your inside a firewall
 perhaps a

 inside_firewall somehosts.com.au

 would be appropriate... read the default squid.conf on inside firewall
 and create "inside_firewall" entries for hosts and/or domains inside
 the firewall area (ie. directly accessable)

: Am I totally missing something here or should all(most) requests that
: can't be satisfied locally be sent to Parent 1?
: I haven't changed any of the ACL stuff, is my problem in this area?

 Nope.

: A copy of the relevant part of my cache.conf file is appended.

 Hmm...
