Am I on the right track?

I'm trying to wrap my head around stumps, bearers and joists. I think I've got it sorted but always good to get people that actually know what they're doing to check it out ;)

I've attached a rough sketch of the area the deck will cover and it will be 760mm high. The plan at this point is:

140x45 F7 treated pine ledger on the 2 sides of the house that the deck touches
Stumps - 100x100 H5 TP spaced 1800mm out from the house and 1500mm apart
Bearers - 125x75 H5 TP attached to stumps with housing joint
Joists - 90x45 F7 TP spaced every 450mm
Decking - merbau 90x19

Does that sound about right???
