I got my first one in Laos last year in Vientiane. Normal price for a 1 month visa. Got my second in Hong Kong and got another 3 month visa for the same price. Don't know anything about it in Hanoi, had overdue on my Vietnam visa so had to do a quick run to Laos and figured out I'd better go to China after that. Normally you should be able to arrange your visa in Hanoi. check http://www.travelchinaguide.com/embassy/vietnam.htm

normally if you get your chinese visa prior to your travels, you got about 3 months on it to enter the country, so you'll be able to travel for about 3 months(or less of course) and then use your visa. Actually this also depends where you are from.
Don't know the prices for Australians, should check the embassy in your country. I paid 40 USD for my first visa and again 40 for the next one (which was a 3 month visa). Shouldn't be that much difference I guess.
