How much salary does one need to live comfortably in AU?

in General
Given the fact that people/families differ in their lifestyle choices etc. How much would be considered a good per annum salary ...not just to get by, but with a good enough net for savings, travel and leisure?

    it depends bro, but if you want savings travel and leisure, I would say at least 75K is a good starting point.

    but then again, everybody has their own definition of comfortable. @soma
