Thanks for the help guys. Im not planing on investing. I just want to buy a little for fun. Nothing I cant handle loosing.

Mining sounds like a good option. I am a little worried about the electricity costs though as we have really expensive electricity here in oz.

I have checked out a few sites in the wiki. Mainly spendbitcoins.com, bitinovate, omnicoins and localbitcoins. Localbitcoins and omni coins seem to be mainly selling above the exchange rate or they want to meet up to sell them which I dont really have time for. The other two require me to go down to a bank and deposit money. As its the weekend I cant currently do that.

I did find another site through google called buy bitcoin australia which will let me purchase the bit coins online (without going to a bank) and they have the cheapest rate (7.5%).

It seems legit as they have a ABN but it is not in the wiki. Has anyone used this site? Is it safe?
