and enrolled in to the Indonesian language course that was run through TAFE at Southport. Don't bother doing that course as it only teaches you the very formal version of the the language - not colloquial.
I ended up buying "Colloquial Indonesian - The Complete Course for Beginners" by Sutanto Atmosumarto. It comes with the book and CD's. I bought it through Fishpond. The are also many other books you can get through Fishpond.
The best way though, is to head over and speak, speak speak, with the locals!
