Welcome to the forum. I believe the subject bicycle is mid-1980s. The mono tone paint with contrasting head tube was popular during that era and the components are Shimano New 600EX which date to 1984-1987. However, they are the friction version and New 600EX rec'd an indexed shifting option in 1986, so this is most likely to be 1984-1985. It might squeak into 1986 but SIS was a big marketing feature by 1987, so I doubt it is that late. The frame's serial number may tell us the exact year and the identity of the manufacturer. I'll defer to other members on value, as I'm not familair with market conditions in Australia. Photo assist...
