PayPal does not require an account. Simply click the "Pay as guest" link and it presents a standard billing form.
Further, when you're a small site, I'd think it's preferable to redirect your customers to Paypal's site when they enter their billing information as it gives them confidence that it's secure. As a user myself, I would think twice before typing my CC info into a small obscure website, as I have no idea what kind of security measures they have in place (https is only one piece of the puzzle).

I'm in Australia and am dying for a good alternative to PayPal.

"International support will come over time."
Hehehehe. That's what everyone says when they're getting into the payment game.
International support will come over time. However Noca is more like a better alternative to Authorize.net. Paypal in shopping cart takes the Consumer away from Merchant site and requires the Consumer to have an account i.e. sign-up. Even with Paypal's high userbase only 1 out of 3 or 4 users in the US have an active Paypal account. Not a good idea to potentially loose majority of Payors/Buyers simply 'cause they don't have Paypal accounts
