Has anyone been to Australia recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Transport tips
I was there in 2024 and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

I was there in February and prices were great value. Spent about $150/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.
