I am thinking of buying a DSLR at December.... Since my Dear Canon 860IS is pretty much fucked...
Canon 550D with 18-55mm Kit + 50mm/f1.8II and 55-250mm should be around 9440 HKD (or 1440 AUD). It's pretty cheap already (provided that I don't freak out and get 140-500mm which cost me my life) so might as well go for it.
