I took it to a guitar place near my work (www.guitarcentre.net.au) and they loved it, they said to get it framed haha
Anyway they tuned it and all for me, and said it should be fine to learn the basics on.
I've also decided on what to get for my first electric when I do: http://www.guitarcentre.net.au/cgi-bin/mall.pl?category=Guitars%2FElectric&format=detail& page=list&from=3&pid=49039&domain=guitarcent
It looks like a good deal, and they set up the guitar for you before they give it to you. Someone else was in the store who got the same deal a few months ago and he says it's great so far.
Thank you guys for all the info and advice, I feel bad for all those people who didn't have access to this place when learning!
