How much does it cost to live in Brisbane in 2012?

I just want to know average costs.

- Rent or purchase (apartment or house)

- Utilities (water, electricity, gas)

- Car (insurance, gas, purchase price of a used car)

- Food

- Small dog (food, shots, toys)

- Phone bill (iPhone)

- Cable/satellite

- Health insurance

Also, if you could include whether it's per month or per week.

If there is anything else that I have forgotten that you'd need to consider when living on your own, add it onto the list!

Thankyou!
