A rule of thumb when going between Euro and AU dollar is AU$1 = €0.60 (it's stayed around that number pretty steadily for the past 7 years, at least - the only exception is that period where the banks went down and pretty much everything but AU$ took a bad hit). So converting that $17 to € is about €10.20, give or take a bit.
But keep in mind Tasmania is an island with a low population. Nearly everything is more expensive than it could be.
Urgh the pain of being interested in things that no one else is ;_; I'm a video game girl. I only know TWO girlfriends who actually play video games, one of which is halfway across the world from me, and the other who is three years older, has a completely different life to me, and whom I can never really get together with regularly. And yeah, the guys rarely play with girls. The ones who do nearly always have some sort of ulterior motive >.> Yaaay. Not.
Now that my brother's matured a little, though, we can play together (without him falling into fits every time he loses or dies). Still not the same as playing with friends, really. Always feel a bit jealous of the guys who can make up parties of friends in games.
