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
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there last year and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

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

Agreed on all points. Make sure to get a local SIM.

I was there in last month and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $150/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.
