Yes, moronic describes this thread perfectly.

First, if you are so incredibly talented it would follow that you would make a demo of some kind rather than drone on about your abilities. In this way , you can offer your "sound" to the right people and let them decide who it is you sound like and what, if anything, you can offer a band.
Next, I am not familiar with Australia but here in the States, we have something called "CraigsList". While I readily admit that we here in America are great innovators, I hardly believe we are the only country to have such a service. Surely there has to be something similar where you live? All you need to do is place an ad as a "singer" and you should get responses from others. If you place the ad properly, you can narrow your responses to those that are of a like musical influence. Of course, this brings us back to the demo. I have never heard of ANY (serious) band that is willing to hire or join someone based on what they say they can do or the clothes they wear. You will need to prove it. A demo is the easiest way to accomplish this.
Coming to this Board and advertising yourself as Rob-reincarnated might make for a bit of fun but it is likely not going to do you a lot of good IF you are a serious musician and not some kid that thinks entirely too much of himself. I do, however, wish you the very best of luck as I would love to hear what you really can do. I mean that in all sincerity.

Yes, so I have noticed. Look, you are a regular member here and , as such, you deserve respect regardless of my personal feelings of you. I would love to "PM" you but we are not "friends" here and I cannot do so since your Inbox is blocked.
There are a few of us here that use this place to promote our music. That's fine. It is a wonderful source of exposure for those of us that actually do play. I encourage you to look for ANY way you can to get yourself out in the music world. It is almost always free to have someone that really matters listen to you. It has also been my experience that vocalists are rare and usually get snapped up right away, provided they are able to really sing. In fact, there are many that are NOT very good and THEY get picked up, too! I tell you no lie when I say that I put an ad on Craig'sList here and had FIVE responses in less than 30 minutes. Over the course of a week, I had many more AND several auditions. Each time I went to an audition, they had mics, PAs and recording equipment waiting there when I arrived. I did not need to "buy" anything... not even my own microphone! I chose a band in one week and I am not really all that great!!
There are many, easy ways to get going. I promise you.

And in all honesty, I get that. The problem is, Craig'sList is FREE. There is nothing to lose. It puts you in contact with people that DO have the resources you described and THAT is what you want, isn't it?? To find musicians that are looking to make music and are thinking as you do?
How many of your countrymen are actually on this Board, man? Seriously? A half dozen?? Maybe?? You know that. Posting an entire Thread HERE, claiming to be interested in forming a band IN Australia is a joke. There is no one here to respond! You certainly are smart enough to know THAT. The point is, you do not appear to be serious. You appear to be someone that would like to TALK about what you claim you can do rather than do it. (Notice I said appear).
If you are truly capable of doing all the things you say, do it. It will cost you nothing but time. There are sites (I am happy to provide links) that are also FREE wherein you can "put yourself out there" and start making REAL contacts. Having a few friends and family tell you you can sing is useless. Watch ONE episode of "American Idol" to verify that. If you are serious, there are ways to make it happen that will actually yield results. This Board will not accomplish that.

Of course, there's ads in newspaper to look at as you may have suggested but I don't want to join another existing band. Instead, I want to start fresh, to find players one by one, each time making sure that I've found someone who shares the same musical direction as me.
