In the "old days" Repeaters on mountain tops were connected to the Comcentre by landlines. Nowadays, they use Radio Links which may be Microwave Links, Satellite Links, or the frequency bands listed above.

The frequency bands listed above are specifically for Radio Links, as specified in ACMA's Radiocommunications Assignment and Licensing Instruction (RALI) MS22 - 400 MHz Plan, and you shouldn't find any QAS or QFRS Repeaters, in that area.

What do you mean paired with?
"Paired" means, for example, that 413.4375 and 403.9875 are used together, or 414.4625 and 405.0125 are used together, just like a Repeater Tx frequency and a Repeater Rx frequency are used together. However, with Links, either frequency can be used as a Tx frequency, or a Rx frequency, depending on where they are used.
For example: A Link from a Comcentre to a mountain top, say Mt Mowbullan, would have a Tx of 413.xxx at the Comcentre, and a Rx of 413.xxx on Mt Mowbullan, but the Receive leg would have a Tx of 403.yyy on Mt Mowbullan, and a Rx of 403.yyy at the Comcentre. The same frequency pair can be used to connect Mt Mowbullan to Pechy, and Mt Mowbullan to Miles Hill, with the same Tx frequency used on Mt Mowbullan for all three Links.
If it was decided to use the same frequencies to link to other Sites, from Miles Hill, then the Miles Hill Tx would be on 413.xxx, and Rx would be on 403.yyy (ie.,the reverse of Mt Mowbullan)

Just program in both link frequencies.
