Default plants for (quick) privacy

hi all,

I want to grow a row of plants/trees (whatever) down one side of my suburban
block to create some privacy and block out the ugly brick flats that look
directly into my backyard!

My old place had a nice private b'yard and I could stand/sit out by my vegie
patch for as long as I wanted without feeling silly ... in this b'yard the
neighbours must think I'm nuts when I go and inspect my fruit trees, vegies
etc. a few times a day! (I know I shouldn't worry what the neighbours think,
but I do like my privacy! Oh, to live in the country!)

So, considering I'm a student on a budget, what is the least expensive and
fastest growing plants to put down my side fence for a privacy screen? They
need to be at least 2 metres tall ... but the bigger the better! To cover a
distance of about 4-5 metres! A big ask in a short period I know!

Cheers,
Mick
