About $170 per week here, just about to go up to $210 as we have extended on the loan to buy some surrounding land. We live out of town, have to deal with our own garbage and need 2 cars. At the current petrol prices a round trip to town costs $6 without any running around in town. That adds up if I go in everyday, plus DH drives in for work, but he has a more fuel efficient car. Our mortgage is low, but we can't get ADSL out here, so no cheap phone or internet and that is really hurting us right now. We also lost $50 rent assistance per fortnight

We were renting in town, an 80's 3 bedroom, 2 living area, 2 bathroom, 2 car garage et for about $260 per week (that was 2 years ago, so it would be more now). We would just live with one car if I dropped DH off at work, he was only 5 minutes up the road.
