I was in the same boat as yourself a few years ago, TJF etc etc, (I may have even worked the van with you!) Threw it in and went the down the military path, albeit, the life style is different from a F/O at the link, but I'm flying and getting paid to do it.
My advice chum is take LWOP or go part time, and do your flying on the side. If you need a clue for your training in Melb, PM me
