I think most people have at least 2 cars in Australia. But it is expensive, petrol is really expensive and the cars are probably 30% more expensive that in the States..

Congrats on new car and house! Interior of the Camry looks really nice.
Can you share what a loaded Camry costs there?

Actually a loaded 05 Camry with leather is a much nicer place to be than last gen GS IMO. That GS still uses plastics from the early 90s, looks cheap on a luxury car costing 50K, when you apply armor all to protect it, you get glare like a ****. A V6 camry SE is probably faster than a GS300 too. Smart choice.

Do you guys get the 3.3L 3MZ-FE or the standard 3.0L 1MZ-FE?

congrats.
the first time that i drove a good car was 2002, it was a 2001 camry 2.2 that we rented from Hertz in the USA....literally speaking, i felt in love with the smooth handling and effortless in picking up...when we returned from the US we bought a 1995 ES300
btw, i like the look of 2005 camry much more than the ES

$46k AUD is about $35.5k USD. A simlarly featured ES300 is around $65k USD.
So cars are pretty expensive, but it's all relative.

but i do remember in Australia---food was much cheaper.
cars were ridiculously expensive...i remember even in 1995-6 that a top-line accord cost over $40K AUD.
i still miss the country. i'd go back if i could.
