I'd just add electricity to this list - I normally spend around ~$450 a quarter at a two bedroom place (in Sydney), so for one person you'd perhaps be looking ~$100 p.mth depending on whether you use air conditioning etc.

You pay $450/month in electricity?? That seems quite a lot. (even though I can't really tell how much I pay because it's been four years I have automated my bills)

Sorry, that was a bad typo :) I pay $450 a quarter, so $150 a month. Fixed my comment.
