New to fishing in Australia - no gear - please advice

Hey guys,

Just arrived in Australia and would love to go out for some fishing soon. However, the last time I fished was when I was 12, so I don’t have a lot of experience and knowledge. Please tell me, what gear do I need to get/ what is the most fun to fish for and what gear do I need?

Specifics; - I don’t want to spend a lot of money, since I am only gonna be here for a year. - I’d like to catch a variety of fish. Squid, different sized fish (does this impact the price of the rod a lot?) and my dream is to catch a bull shark, but my guess is you need an expensive rod for that.

Thanks.
