    Hey mate,

    Yeah definitely register the .com.au

    ccTLD (country code top level domains) are considered already geographically associated with a country, so Google will see them as more relevant to an Australian searcher, and therefore place them higher in SERPs.

    Nice to see another Sydney SEO'er on here

    Keep it up!

    Using the specific country level domain helps your site rank better and reach your audience easily. .AU is another TOP Country Level Domain you can think of. All the best to you!
