Ok, here's what I did.
I enjoyed having a bit extra in my account for an hour, then contacted the biller. I went to the bank 30 mins later to get them to reverse the transaction. (It was actually just over $2800, checked back over the correspondence)
I'm in another country and all they had was a PO box address to track me down, so I probably could have got away with keeping it. I had a debt that was worth about that much which I could have paid off that day. However, I believe that honesty is the best policy. We're not talking about someone in the shop giving you an extra 20c in change.
The biller got most of their money back (minus the reversal fees and USD-AUD-USD currency conversion losses), and I got to feel good about myself for a bit.
Still, spending that money would have been nice...
