Hi from up here in North Queensland, I’ve done Christmas lights the last 4 or 5 years with just the standard lights and inflatables. I’m looking to start phasing out some older decorations and bringing in some automation. It might be too late to start this year, but hoping to get my hands on the basics and start my journey down the rabbit hole! Just about to get stuck into the manual and by the sound of things that will give me a good starting point!

Welcome to ACL.
I have a number of options that can get you automated very quick. My ready to run DMX2-24 allows you to have computer control of the boring 2 wire 2 channel lights that are the norm from Big W and Bunnings these days. For pixel lighting I have ready to run Baldrick 8 controllers in 5V or 12V options. For more diy I have vast quantities of different stuff. I've got a very limited range of pixels but I've got enough that you can get some blinky lights happening quickly.

Start small. @AAH's suggestions above are a great starting point.
For supply of pixels, there is also Light It up - https://www.lightitupleds-xmas.com.au/s/shop - in WA; Paul is the big supplier in Australia.
Good luck and feel free to yell out if there are any questions.
