Aussie natives:)
Would love a docile Murray cod, but I know it will start murdering once it gets enough size, which it will quickly haha. A barra would be nice but then i'm really just paying for fish fillets haha. Couple of Salmon tailed catfish would be good, but they're not the best look catfish. I don't like Eel tailed Catfish much. A Mangrove Jack is just completely out of the question as they're probably the most insane, angry native. Would like a Saratoga Jardini, but it would have to go in last I think. Some nice big Jungle perch would be good. I'm not a big fan of the Golden Perch, pretty set on a Stingray or 2. So many options I really don't know.
Most likely go exotic.
 
With a large tank like that your not as limited with exotics. Many people sell them at ~40cm plus because they can't house them. Fortunately you can. So stingrays, silvers, bichirs, dats and gar should all be obtainable (at a price obviosuly). I'm also a fellow QLD resident so i'll be watching this one!

Yeah man, not the biggest tank but big enough for now!
At a price yes haha, sweet man! Nice to know another Queenslander on the forum!
 
Get some cichla in there too, relatively cheap, using Aussie standards!

Yeah man planning on it, although there hasnt been too many Mono fry floating around i've seen. Seen more Tems in the past 3 months then I have Mono fry!
I hate how much fish cost in Australia hah.
