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
- Apps or platforms to use
I was there in 2024 and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

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

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

Been there 5 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.
