I moved to Australia from the UK in Nov '07, and am starting to miss my huge garden I had back there with full size G5RV in a straight run... Here, I'm in a rented cookie-cutter 'unit' house with zero garden or outside land I can access. The 'shack' is in an upstairs spare bedroom, with an 'artificial' RF ground, and only indoor antennas are possible. I have no loft access either. The roof of the house is this metal colourbond stuff. I can't put any antenna outside the confines of the walls of the house as we have no garden or land surrounding the house.
I knocked up a full wave 6m delta loop from some OFC speaker cable, fed by a 75R coax balun, but things seem fairly noisy - the VK2RSY beacon just 55km from here is right down in the noise. I have heard a couple of VK4 stations during mild lift condx but worked nobody yet. Roll on Es...

You 'big boys' with lattice towers and stacked yagi's will probably be laughing at my situation
