It is a large amount of money and I already have Australian shares (blue chips mainly including banks, of course), and this money was inherited and I really don't want to carry any risk with it. That idea may sound odd, but it has strong family connections for me.
Just a bit nervous with selecting such a long term and almost will guarantee that the next interest rate change will be up.
Of course, real rate of interest is higher due to the monthly payout.

Have you considered buying an Investment property? Even if you don't have enough to buy the property outright, you may be in a position whereby the rental income exceeds the mortgage repayments, thus providing a cash flow positive investment with potential for capital gains.
