I've recently started trying to fill Dansco albums for Aussie coins in each denomination. The 1966 5c, 10c, and 20c (though the variation isn't in Dansco) there are varieties in the Canberra and London mints. Does anyone have picture/know where I can find them?

G'day, in relation to 5c, there was a thread with pics here on CCF earlier this year.
20c - Renniks 22nd edn, p52 says C & L can be distinguished by tiny variation of how near a waterline is to the platypus' head.
10c - Renniks 22nd edn, p51 says the difference is in the number of spikes on the lyrebird's tail.

The 1c and 2c had three mints producing them - Royal Australian Mint (Canberra), Royal Mint (Melbourne) and Royal Mint (Perth).

Nancy probably showed you the difference in them, the long and short spine.

Where are the mint marks located on these ones? Were there three mints for all years or just the 1966 like the others?

See this link for 2¢ mint marks. There used to be a similar article re 1¢, but it's dissappeared!
