203.16.236.2 is not answering authoritatively for the domain
somerville.qld.edu.au, so your secondary isn't loading the zone from it:

[cjohnson@shemp cjohnson]$ /usr/libexec/named-xfer -s 0 -f zone -z somerville.qld.edu.au 203.16.236.2
named-xfer[16120]: [203.16.236.2] not authoritative for somerville.qld.edu.au, SOA query got rcode 0,
aa 0, ancount 1, aucount 0

There's likely an error in the zone file for this domain on your master server.
Restart named on your master server, and then tail /var/log/messages and see
what named's objection to loading it is.
