Traceroute and whois are the standard ways to determine who/where an IP
address is. For telstra address, you can also ask the telstra whois
server (whois.telstra.net).

anand@caliban:~$ whois 203.42.45.8 -h whois.telstra.net

inetnum:     203.42.45.0 - 203.42.45.255
netname:     NEWROCOMPL-AU
descr:       Newrocom P/L
[snip]

Further on it identifies AD158-AU as the person to contact. (whois AD158-AU)
