Ohh, not sure quite how long this has been up but I am really glad to see it here.

Have seen a few aussies on the boards but was not aware that we had enough to warrent our own board!

I'll introduce my self.

29 year old public servant from brisbane
We are renting and trying to get a deposit together to buy our first house and also to get married next year.
At the moment I am completely debt free so it is getting a bit easier to put money aside, a year ago when I was drowning in debt and prices were going no where but up I didn't really think that home ownership was ever going to happen fro us, but now I have a much more positive out look.

will try to think of some australia specific tips and get back to you all.
