Wanting iceinspace.com.au :(

I want to register iceinspace.com.au so that people doing an "Australia only" search in google or other, will find this site..

But the rules for registering a .com.au domain name are sooo strict.. you have to have an ABN or ACN, meaning you have to be a registered business or company.

I had a registered business name a few years back when I was doing some contract programming work, but that has long since expired.. Now it looks like i'll have to register a new business name at the pricely sum of $129, just so I can spend another $60 on iceinspace.com.au

$200 that I could've spent on telescope accessories!!

hmm.. as I was writing this I just had a light-bulb moment.. I think "iceinspace.net.au" would still be found by "australia only" searches, because it's the ".au" that it's looking for, not the ".com.au".. and then I don't need to register a business name..

Does anyone know if this is indeed correct?
