Start in the "Beginners' Section" and you can find many tips that will probably save you time and money. There are Roman reenactors on this forum, and they'll probably find you. Always good to collaborate with other people, although I understand Australia is a big place, so they may not be all that near to you. Still, if they have a weekend get-together planned, maybe your group can join in.
And welcome to the Forum!

What's your email address Tim? I can send you a few things that can help.
Dave, I'm surprised you didn't plug the Ludus Militis site
Since you didn't...I will.
Tim, give this a read, it will help with the drill and a bit on tactics.

Also, check out Matt Amt's Legio XX site. It is an excellent read and will tell you what gear to avoid as well. Also details how to make just about everything.
