That's because UCC's WAIX routing is broken at the moment.  The
workaround I've been using is to connect to tartarus, and then SSH
from there to the appropriate machine at UCC.

If you use Open SSH, you might like to use an ssh config snippet like
the one below to automate this process:

    Host mussel
        HostName mussel.ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au
        User cameron
        ProxyCommand ssh tartarus nc mussel.ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au 22
    
    Host tartarus
        HostName tartarus.uwa.edu.au
        User patric01

Cheers,

Cameron.
