Now that I've been stable in one place for a year or two, don't look to be moving soon, and have the space and cash, I've built a small bouldering wall.
Size and Style
I wanted a small, but effective training wall to help build strength and endurance primarily. To accomplish this, I decided on 3 standard plywood panels at 45 degrees. This gives a climbable surface 2.4 by 3.6 meters.
It's freestanding, and remarkably stable with a little bit of bracing, be aware that it is HEAVY, the framing and surface alone is over 100 kg.

Total cost ~$1000 AUD, plus holds.
I've got a variety of holds from Big Red Holds and Uncarved block, both of which have a great texture and feel, and are available in Australia
