I live in Cairns, North Qld, not Brisbane.

Not people users come to this category - re-post question in Travel>Australia and you'll get heaps of answers !!!!!!

Power - $100 per month (bill comes every 3 months)

TV - free to air is 'free' - cable TV check out http://www.austar.com.au/default.asp for packages.

If you are renting - water and garbage is included in your rent/least

Phone - again check out http://telstra.com.au or http://iprimus.com.au for home and/or mobile packages
