Hi
I'm in Australia and our options to buy Bitcoins seems quite difficult. Either pay high prices and fees or go through partners of MtGox.  Anyone in Aus that trades / sells / loans?

I'm willing to provide identity etc, phone or Skype (meet if in Brisbane) if required.
I know newbs are generally frowned upon for loans, but how to change that?  I don't post much because I'm generally a reader, soaking up info and am definitely no expert to answer posts.

Any genuine suggestions welcome
