lca-announce and the original conference websites answer quite a few of
these:

Can't find all of these out, but:

For 2008, it was "first 30 days" (so presumably until 21st November
2007):

I seem to recall they sold out early but there's no record of when.

For 2009, until November 10 2008 or until sold out:

They announced the close on November 11, so it looks like they didn't
sell out:

For 2010, they seem to have sold out on 5th November 2009, before an
advertised close date of 13 November:

Can't find out for 2008 from their website at
http://linux.org.au/conf/2008/register.html

It doesn't look like 2009 closed rego until the last possible second:

For 2010, on 24 December 2009:
