I'm really not sure on what am looking for yet,

That statement says it all.
Really we are not trying to put you off. We are trying to help.
You need to find out what will grow outdoors as well as inside in
your area. We are largely from US... Thus really bad at what
grows well or is even obtainable there. We can tell you what we
want to grow that shows up in your local nurseries, but not what
will grow easily for a beginner.
Phals may not be your cup of tea. But there are many Dendrobiums
that are from Oz and the surrounding areas. You should
investigate your choices from the gh as well as your local groups
or societies. The best place for inexpensive plants is the
exchange between experienced growers and new growers at a society
meeting.

Other than humidity, it does sound as if you could grow many
things outdoors.
NO Bulbs. These are not tulips that you plant below ground and
have spring to life months later.
Until you are experienced buy only in bloom, your going to need
that memory and knowledge that this plant CAN bloom to keep you
going until you get it to bloom again.
