ouch $3000 & i've been ranting about ours!!! we pay $950 half yearly.....they make us pay every six months here, I don't know why. We bought our house for $310,000 in country QLD & I can't believe they are soooo much. Prob wouldn't bother me if we got something for what we paid!!! we don't even have proper footpaths...if I want to go for a walk with DS I have to walk in the bike lane on the road, or the road where there isn't a bike lane!!!!
We lived 15mins for the CBD in a nice area of Adelaide before & only paid approx $800 a year!!! hmmm should move back there.
