That’s a really slippery slope! I’m also in Queensland, and have been in various states of the coffee journey for nearly 20 years.

My current setup, that really works well for me, is a delonghi dedica ec685m and a smeg CFG01 grinder.

I also import beans from a mates coffee plantation in PNG.

I love the coffee I brew, and it only took me 14 years to get to this point!!

My point is, experiment, go slow. Bean quality is probably more important than most other things.

I have Withings Scanwatch Horizon. I love the look and the battery life. I average 22 days between recharging. Steps are reasonably accurate, it measures a bit on the low side but this means I do another few hundred steps occasionally to meet my goal. The app is pretty good. I use it to track walks and gym sessions mainly.
